Under 21 - Save Ferris

Under 21 - Save Ferris
2:37
It Means Everything, 1997
Written by Brian Mashburn

Power pop ska swing!  Musically, No Doubt has nothing on these guys.  Lyrically, on the other hand, it's the work of a teenager, and not a particularly self-reflective one at that.  "He said, No one under 21 allowed! / But he must've been stupid 'cause I saw my friends in the crowd."  Don't overlook the erudite chorus, "It sucks to be under 21."  John Keats this is not, but the powerhouse vocals help you forget.  As long as you're not paying much attention, this isn't a bad song to have bopping along in the background.
