Ataris, The - San Dimas High School Football Rules Lyrics

I saw these guys in a back of a record store with the band Big Wig in south central PA circa 1999. I was 14 years old and never heard of either bands. The crowd tried to start a fight with the singer of big wig while they played. That is just my memory of the show. But damn this is a pop punk classic

My highschool boyfriend sang this song to me in the courtyard at Marjory Stoneman Douglas highschool and ofcourse he played it on an electric guitar while he sang it to me.... brings back so many happy memories.

Ball bearing necklace and bleached hair. So radical dude!!

33 years old, and I refuse to ever grow up, so I’m still listening to them just as much as when I was in high school. Fucking hell yeah.

I used to skate this damn song till like 11 at night man this was A1 back then

Man. This takes me back

i was already a pretentious indie metal asshole in my early 20's by the time this shit came out, but i can't deny how good it is.

The best drums I've ever heard from this genre

Takes me back to my little kid years in 1999-2000. I remember when music still revolved around rock tunes like this.

Yeah, these guys look like they've watched Bill and Ted

reminds me golden

Throwback to my post broken knee emo phase

Saw these guys senior year of H.S. back in 2000 in New Orleans. Best show ever!

Anyone else here from donut?

42 People can suck it.

Anyone else come here after hearing the Mxpx cover of this song lol?

falta de respeto no conocer una banda mucho mas legendaria que mxpx

Did you know this song existed prior to the cover?

@mariano marin bueno mxpx tiene mas tiempo que Ataris

Why have I never listened to these guys

How did he listen to her heart beat as she layed there in his arms?  I call shennignas

Found the virgin

Is a volume boost possible?

The music is great, I still love punk rock. But damn the lyrics are terrible, I used to love this when I was a teenager though 🤣 saw these live too!

Bad ass still

I don't remember them all looking like a clone of a clone of Guy Fieri.

this upload of it has horrible audio quality

Anybody know any bands that are similar to the ataris

Geez, everything in the late 90s. Listen to everything on Fat Wreck Chords (besides the ones 1a6dce11 mentioned earlier, maybe Good Riddance & Strung Out although they tried to have a harder edge to them) and others might be Millencolin, MxPx, Screeching Weasel, Face To Face, The Gamits, bands on Honest Don's like Chixdiggit, Teen Idols, Limp, heck even my old band sounded sort of like the Ataris, because we sounded like everyone else (One Cent Spent).

Can’t believe I used to like these guys. They totally blow.

That diamond plated Tele doe...

Hey, it's my name

Is this supposed to be a reference to Bill and Ted?

No, they all used to be in the San Dimas Highschool football team.

this song always makes me sad for some reason...one of my favorites.

I like driving by San dimas since it's really nice and bill n ted and Disneyland is awesome. year pass for 3 bills is not bad.

カッケー惚れるわ

Takes me back 17 years.
still know Every Word by heart

This is what falling in love felt like back in the early aughts.

Johnny Jinx late 90's

I love this song, nice to hear older pop punk.

Quem tá aqui por causa do vídeo Minha Trilha Sonora do Fresno..........like

2016, thumbs!

I still fucking love you Laura Collins! Thanks for that great night all those years ago when we danced to this song.

aqui por causa da fresno !

+kmgames Também conheci essa delícia graças a fresno

@Pedro Rocha uma dlç ! hehehe

Like a couple of others, I came here because of Bill & Ted. What a disappointment.

Wow, I felt fifteen for a second.

I want to buy a grille to this song

these guys must have been fans of Strung Out. Main riff is straight from "Solitaire"

wow. never noticed. had both albums.
bonnie tyler "if you were a woman..." vs bon jovi "...love a Bad name".

Classic

Used to cover this song with my band back in 2000, good times, great band, with music that still holds up after fifteen years.

I' cant stop to lisent this song... i like to much O_O!!

Just saw them on the 24th in Philly. Such an awesome show. I love these guys 17yrs later <3

Didn't know Guy Fieri was the frontman for The Ataris

Damn, dude.

I think you may have overreacted a bit.

Looks like every other singer in the 90s

The weird thing is right now I'm watching diners drive-ins and dives on the tv

Or is Guy trying to look like him ...

We all looked liked that in the late 90s.
Most of us grew out of it.

I went to school there 2000-2004 :)

charlie miedema i just graduated from there 😅

That's a real place?? I thought it was just from Bill n Ted.

Nick H nope it's real lol

How is the football team doing these days?

@AndreLei1982 we lost smudgepot...

Takes me back to being 14...still LOVE this song :) If I ever decided that I wanted to get married this is so gonna be the song! HEARTIN THE ATARIS

Kung Fu Records? I have their EP with this song, and it's on Fat Wreck

thats becasue an EP and an LP are very different types of releases...

It was also on their album Blue Skies Broken Hearts... Next 12 Exits which was released on Kung Fu

que buen tema wn!

Geez I did not think that song would do that to me. 

It's a happy and sad song at the same time.

screwed me over back in College doing punk rock shit. fuck you Ataris. fucking love you guys.

Genial!!!!

14 years ago... 14 YEARS!!!!

Eduardo Fuenzalida 19 now 😫

Just dump your boyfriend and go out with me. That line gets me everytime.

When Pop punk still actually had soul :,)

This is punk rock, not the punk lifestyle.

Memories. .. :-)

God I miss when music was like this...ataris take me back to high school days. So long astoria was the best album ever (yeah I know this song wasn't on it)

good band

Back when the phrase "dressing adorkable" was used. Loved it.

best band ever

punk isn't just one sound. its being different. and that's what this band did. they did something different. more than I can say about a lot of bands

yep...almost 30 and still freaking love this song...trip down memory lane

this isn't very punk

I'm 23, but I feel like 15, and I'm also jamming!

Im 29 and jam the F out to this

Im 26. but I feel 14 watching this now.

So much Lagwagon.

OH MY GOD I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING BUT I FORGOT THE NAME OF THE SONG IT REMINDS ME OF BUT I REMEMBER THE LINE "keep telling myself that"

Never, dude.

I gotta believe I'm not the only 27 year old jamming Ataris while shitfaced right now.

Such a nice little pick-me-up for yourself to get a bit drunk, watch nostalgic videos and then wait for the comments about whatever you said to come in. And yes!!... and furthermore... fuckin' Antifreeze!

Yeaaa Tsunami Bomb

As long as there are teens with angst, it isn't, the punk mentality will always be around

...yeah it is.

my worst favorite song ever!!!

treating girls like a queen lasts 2 mounts and then you get fucked of :D

WALLET CHAINS

this song brings feelings upon me which i cant describe, seriously

None of the True Believers ever thought it was. Welcome to the club, pal. I was 16 when I bought the "Punk Rock is Your Friend" comp from Kung Fu and it really fucking made those years a helluva lot better, even though none of my friends new/cared about Tsunami Bomb or Antifreeze.

@Tylerf also class of 2002. This whole album was Epic.. It was Epic even before "Epic" became an adjective.. This bands preceded the whole "Epic " movement .. And this is my high school sweethearts fav song still to this day.. Too bad she got wise and chocked up her duces and hauled ass ..... LoL....

Ahhh I miss high school... 25 now

Just turned 16, and I'm rocking to this stuff, punk isn't dead

I can't turn this shit up enough.

The Ataris, Descendents and The Vandals = Jr. High School memories.

GREATEST sing along album from my high school years.

why's the volume so low?

i used to play this with my band when i was 18 ,, damn im 28 now..

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure brought me here.

You're joking right? Because you would just simply be an idiot. Kristopher Roe doesn't look like either of the 2 Joseph's

Oh shit it really sounds like the chorus of " Solitaire by Strung Out " ^^

THROOOOWWWW BACK!!!!! love these guys
i got soo much pussy from this one song alone!
good... no, great times!!

@momentomori93 what happened?
