Scott and Kim first met in high school, and formed the band Sonic And Knuckles. They broke up shortly after their first gig at Lunchapalooza, as Scott was moving to Toronto. While at college, Scott met Stephen, forming the band Kid Chameleon with fellow classmate Envy Adams. Despite a record deal, relationship issues between Scott and Envy led to Stephen and Scott leaving the band, and Envy forming the successful group The Clash at Demonhead upon her move to Montreal. Sex Bob-omb was founded around the time Kim moved to Toronto. The band play concerts intermittently, and have thus far enjoyed only a little success, remaining unsigned at present.
The series was adapted into a feature-length film in 2010, titled Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World after the second comic in the series and directed by Edgar Wright. The band was portrayed by Michael Cera, Alison Pill and Mark Webber as Scott, Kim and Stephen respectively. Four of their songs, We Are Sex Bob-omb, Garbage Truck, Summertime and Threshold appear in the film's soundtrack, all of which were written by Beck Hansen, with all of the instruments being played by the actors in the film.
In the comic, the band splits after Kim moves back in with her parents, with Kim and Scott later reforming as Shatterband, while Stephen joins the band of Sex Bob-omb producer Joseph. In the film, Scott is eventually replaced by number-one fan Neil Nordegraf on bass.
In the anime Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, the band stays together, and has Scott's ex girlfriend, Knives Chau, join the band on the keyboard, after Scott returns.
Garbage Truck
Sex Bob-Omb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On my garbage truck
Oh no
I'll take you to the dump
'Cause you're my queen
Take you uptown
I'll show you the sites
You know you wanna ride
Truck, truck, truck
We'll pass the mansions by
Drive right through the needle's eye
Oh my
My my my my
I got a stereo
You just gotta turn the knob
Well, maybe we'll go
As far as we can
I'll be your garbage man
I'll take out your junk
And I'll crush it down
Jesus in the rear view
And the highway patrol is up ahead
In my garbage truck, truck
I'll never throw you away
When you're old and gray
We'll just roll it away
The song "Garbage Truck" by Sex Bob-Omb begins with the line "I'll take you for a ride on my garbage truck." At first glance, it seems like a peculiar and unromantic thing to say to anyone, let alone your "queen." However, upon closer inspection, the song appears to be a punk-infused love song that expresses a sort of devotion that even garbage trucks can't separate.
The chorus, "You know you wanna ride on my garbage truck," may sound jarring and aggressive, but it is simply a declaration of confidence and esteem. The singer wants to take their sweetheart on a tour of the city, showing off the sights, even though they are doing it from a garbage truck. They boast about their vehicle's sound system and their ability to crush and dispose of waste. They also acknowledge the forces that may stand in their way, whether it be the police or the corrupt upper class, but they remain committed to their love throughout it all.
Overall, "Garbage Truck" is a catchy and dynamic track that combines punk, rock, and love in a surprising and entertaining way. It's a song about finding beauty and romance in even the most mundane and grimy things in life.

I'll take you for a ride
I want to take you on a journey with me
On my garbage truck
We'll be traveling on something unconventional
Oh no
Expressing surprise or excitement in a playful way
I'll take you to the dump
We'll go to a place where most people wouldn't usually go
'Cause you're my queen
You deserve to be treated like royalty
Take you uptown
I want to show you the city
I'll show you the sites
We'll visit interesting places together
You know you wanna ride
I know you want to join me
On my garbage truck
We'll be traveling on something unconventional
Truck, truck, truck
Just emphasizing the type of vehicle we'll be on
We'll pass the mansions by
We're not going to pay attention to luxurious houses on our way
Drive right through the needle's eye
We'll get through difficult situations together
Oh my
Expressing excitement or amazement
My my my my
Just an expression of enthusiasm or happiness
I got a stereo
I have a stereo system in my garbage truck
You just gotta turn the knob
You can easily control the music
Well, maybe we'll go
I'm not sure where we'll end up
As far as we can
We'll travel as much as possible
I'll be your garbage man
I'll take care of your trash
I'll take out your junk
I'll remove any unnecessary things
And I'll crush it down
I'll make it smaller or insignificant
Jesus in the rear view
We're moving forward and leaving the past behind
And the highway patrol is up ahead
We might encounter obstacles or problems during our journey
In my garbage truck, truck
We'll keep going with our unconventional transportation
I'll never throw you away
I'll never abandon you
When you're old and gray
Even when we're old and we're not as exciting anymore
We'll just roll it away
We'll move on and find new adventures to embark on
