Music Review: Bowling For Soup - Fishin' For Woos
Bowling For Soup started out as a group of snot-nosed young 'uns doing punky power pop anthems like "1985," which compares to the Fountains of Wayne classic "Stacy's Mom" from way back in 2003. The band has always been about rambunctious fun, never taking itself seriously.
At this point in its career, the band is hitting middle age with members having kids of their own, and it's been signed by Disney to make cartoon theme songs . So don't expect any startling revelations here, as the band's 11th album, Fishin' For Woos , it's older guys killing off brains cells as they relive their college years, with songs about Spring Break, hot girls and partyin' all night long.
The band knows all the ingredients needed for a pop hit, and "S-S-S-Saturday” comes pretty darn close. It's got the required riffs and hooks that will have you singing along. But on other tracks, it starts to resemble self-parody, as I really thought "Here's Your Freakin Song" was something from Weird Al Yankovic. Other tracks seem to follow the formula, but without a musical hook in the chorus it tends to be forgettable, like "Girls In America."
The problem here may be a lack of any kind of musical growth. Even punk pop bands with frat boy lyrics like Green Day moved away from Dookie and matured into social commentary. It seems these guys have fallen into the same trap as Smash Mouth, doling out disposable pop for the fan base, content that they are good at what they do. The trick is how to keep things exciting without growing stale, and they hint at this with "Turbulence." The song is like an inspirational commencement speech set to music, and it feels a little deeper than the other tracks here. The other ballads reinforce the fact that BFS is more than explosive guitars and drums.
Bowling For Soup is not too old to rock and roll. The band just needs to start singing about what's relevant to its life instead of trying to market to Disney's core audience.

So, let's go straight to the general info, before the joke index. I enjoy the song, although it's nothing too great. I loved the pop culture references in it and figured, hey, if I could actually come up with a relevant anime idea for each icon mentioned in the song, then that'd be a pretty fun video! And thus, I decided, it's time to get this video done. So, why did I choose Azumanga Daioh, when nearly any anime would work well as the body of the video?
