The Rock Show (blink-182)

Shannon’s Perspective:

She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window

This should have said "She's so cool, she sneaks out through her window". I mean for accuracy purposes at least. I love that this is a song that makes Larry think about me and agree with everything he wrote. Yes, that even includes the getting married in Vegas by an Elvis impersonator part....maybe for our 50th we can do that.

Larry’s Pick: The Rock Show

No, I didn't fall in love with the girl at the rock show - but I did fall in love with the girl who loved rock!

No she didn't get kicked out of school for failing. It was for other reasons.

No we didn't say we were going to move to Vegas but I do remember the look my mother (and father) gave us - when we told them we were pregnant. And getting married.

No Shannon wouldn't marry me in Vegas with Elvis officiating like I wanted - but she regrets that decision to this day. Seriously.

No we didn't and don't owe anyone a fucking explanation.

And if I ever got another chance, I'd still ask her to dance...
The Rock Show
blink-182

Hanging out behind the club on the weekends
Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends
I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour
I remember it's the first time that I saw her there

She's getting kicked out of school 'cause she's failing
I'm kinda nervous, 'cause I think all her friends hate me
She's the one, she'll always be there
She took my hand and I made it, I swear

Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said, "What?", and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

When we said we were gonna move to Vegas
I remember the look her mother gave us
17 without a purpose or direction
We don't owe anyone a fuckin' explanation

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said, "What?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

Black and white picture of her on my wall
I waited for her call, she always kept me waiting
And if I ever got another chance

I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said, "What?", and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

With the girl at the rock show
With the girl at the rock show
(I'll never forget tonight) with the girl at the rock show
(I'll never forget tonight) with the girl at the rock show
(I'll never forget tonight) with the girl at the rock show
(I'll never forget tonight) with the girl at the rock show
(I'll never forget tonight) with the girl at the rock show
(I'll never forget tonight) with the girl at the rock show...
