Cemetery Drive has always been one of my favorites, this one and You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison are my favorites on Three Cheers. I was ecstatic when I found out they were releasing a new-ish album this year, I've been waiting for it since they announced it!

As soon as I got home from school on Friday I listened to the entire album, all 17 songs. The quality is so much better and I noticed that the bass was a lot more audible a lot of the time which made me very happy. A lot of artists I like have released new things this year, I really thing it's a great year for music!

This is my first post on this playlist, hopefully of many. I wanted to add this song first since it's still so new, I'll probably end up adding a bunch more from the deluxe edition of Three Cheers throughout the summer.

This song actually started just with a riff that Mikey, the bassist, had come up with. This made me happy, because it's one of my favorite songs on one of my favorite albums, and Mikey is my favorite member of MCR! I think he did great with the bass for this song, I hope to learn it on my own bass soon.

The lyrics for this song are actually super sweet too, they, though not 100% confirmed, were written by Gerard (the lead singer) about his wife, Lyn-Z. If this is true, I really think it's a nice song and a really beautiful one too.

I wanted to add this song to this summer playlist because I think it would fit, with the title and all. I was going to add it to the playlist that was ongoing during school, but I decided to save it for the summer, since it's called Summertime and all. I think it's a great summer song (lots of repetition of the word 'summer', my apologies) and I think it's super underrated!

PinkPantheress is a huge inspiration to this generation for music. Her upbeat jungle samples and dance/electronic tracks brings out nostalgia. She really succeeds in creating music for everyone to enjoy, especially with how short her songs are.

Many of her songs channel an early 2000s vibe, which is what she usually goes for. Her earlier tracks and projects are way shorter in this mixtape. Many people would talk about how much they wanted her songs to be longer because of how catchy and vibey they are. However, in multiple interviews, PinkPantheress has stated how she doesn't like to add to much to the song because she feels it takes away from her sound and it can be unnecessary.

After her statement, she faced backlash over such little thing. In her response, she created this mixtape, laughing while saying "It's 20 minutes long, y'all can't be mad!" in a way to imply that she does not care.

Radiohead named this song for a counting rhyme named "Tinker Tailor" It's almost like Eeny Meeny Miny Moe, except with the words on the title instead. This was also used as the title of a Spy Novel from 1974, named Tinker, Tailor, Solder, Spy.

My interpretation of this song is about the internal conflicts and repressed fears, along with having to confront it. To find freedom and liberation from the darkness while fighting through the obstacles of the path you're taking.

Just want to send a shout out to the AMAZING songs that have been shared so far. I love that Mimi has entered into the playlist with her K-pop recommendations and that we also have the return of ph0b1A, our Beat Maker of the Year from 2022!! I'm going to have to post up some original beats from ph0b1A as my recommendations. And then of course Luna kicking it off with rich background on her amazing music tracks that also connect to her learning of the bass. Just between y'all, this summer playlist is sure to pack a lot of incredible recommendations. I'm hoping superkpoppie finds her way to the playlist to connect with Mimi and I have a few more shout outs to send to a few music aficionados that have graced our playlists from the past. Please feel free to share the link with anyone else that you feel would contribute to the summer playlist (Luna, tell Shyla!). Thank you for posting Pumas and past time Cobras! In future posts, I'd like to share posts to your specific songs you've shared to connect ideas, themes, genres and stories. So far, I've enjoyed listening to them all and revisiting them to share for club updates and reflections online.

The song was actually made for a show called Daria, the band Splendora made a few songs for Daria, actually!

I found out about them through Daria, they only have one album out called In The Grass, which I think is really sad. They're super underrated, it makes me glad that I watch Daria otherwise I probably would've never found out about them.

Daria was a show that released on MTV in 1997, and ended in 2001. My mom showed me it since she said that she used to watch it all the time when she was in High School. One day she put it on in the background while we were eating, and I liked it, so we finished the show together!

I wanted to add this song specifically because I think it's super fitting as of now. It's super hot, this song reminded me of that.

This song, and band, have also been shown to me by my mom! This band is an alternative band, specifically Ska. Ska is one of my mom's all time favorite genres, which is really cool because I think that Ska is awesome!

In fact, my mom said that when she was in High School, she learned how to play trombone since she wanted to start a Ska band. However, sadly, nobody wanted to start a Ska band with her- Maybe if she picks up trombone again I could play bass for her!

I didn't add this song for any particular reason but I think it's really silly, the music video, the song, and the band as a whole. Most Ska I've heard isn't all that serious, except for maybe No Doubt. I think that's one of Ska's charms though, the instrumentals are always fun and upbeat and most of the time the lyrics are too. Especially with Reel Big Fish, their name is quite literally a pun itself!

Reel Big Fish is a great band, if you want to listen to more of their songs you definitely should! Ska is such a great genre, and, to me, is just fun to listen to.

This one is the original and until now, I really didn't know much about the song other than it was a huge hit at the time. I read that a version of it was written by one of the members in the band when they were just a teenager, but it failed miserably a couple of times before becoming a chart topping hit. It was actually this music video which took it to new heights and the popularity of MTV which helped them get a bit more traction in the United States pop world. But before that, they have a number of other versions that kept falling flat in the UK.

The video was a first of its kind and I read that it took a really long time to make. They incorporated "rotoscoping animation" that involves pencil-sketching and live-action mix. Maybe researching rotoscoping will help give more background on how that worked, but in the 80s, they were trying all kinds of new things now that the music videos started to get bigger budgets and became a bigger form of entertainment and promotion for music.

This song is actually one of the tracks I have on the soundtrack of my life. Though I can't remember much, I do feel like I brought back some kind of feeling or sound during my time in Europe when my Dad was stationed in Germany. I can't recall exactly, but there are just a bunch of tunes that I think about when I think about our time in what my mother would refer to in Spanish as Alemania. Even just watching the video by Reel Big Fish instantly took me back and inspired me to try to find out more about a song that literally lives in my daily conscious memory.

Shout out to the children of the 80s! Stay cool out there y'all.

( remember this is a clean version the original one is available on YouTube.)

This song is even better now, because, I saw the Violent Femmes live with My Chemical Romance (Violent Femmes were the openers) on 7/11/25! I'm so happy I got to see them.

They did play this song, too, and it was SUPER awesome to see. My mom was also extremely excited to see them live, as Violent Femmes is one of her favorite bands. It was such an amazing experience honestly.

This is also one of the first songs that I heard by Violent Femmes, again, because of my mom. So, I've known about them for a while now.

This writing was a little choppier than usual but it's my first time posting since near the beginning of the summer, it'll get back to normal eventually! (This is my last post on this playlist, yes, but hopefully I'll be able to write more about more songs on future playlist.)
