Ban the Tube Top Lyrics

You're seventeen
Evil and mean
Comfy and cozy, nowhere scene
You can't deny
The loser inside
All of your bad tastes won't subside

You're outta sight
You keep me up at night
You dress funny
Strapless and skintight
You're out of sight
You keep me up at night
You make me crazy
You wear it out of spite
Ban the tube top tonight!

You're magical
Mystery girl
Tank top, you don't stop a-rocking my world
You give high fives
To all the guys
You let me know that I'm alive

You're outta sight
You keep me up at night
You dress funny
Strapless and skintight
You're out of sight
You keep me up at night
You make me crazy
You wear it out of spite
Ban the tube top

There's a party that we're
Not invited to
But I don't care because
I hate everyone in school, oh oh
I ignore all the girls but you, oh yeah

Aw, hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Beautiful girl
Ugly shirt
You are a fashion red alert
But I can't resist
You've never been kissed
I've never been in love like this

You're outta sight
You keep me up at night
You dress funny
Strapless and skintight
You're out of sight
You keep me up at night
You make me crazy
You wear it out of spite

You're outta sight
You keep me up at night
You dress funny
Strapless and skintight
You're out of sight
You keep me up at night
You make me crazy
You wear it out of spite
Ban the tube top
Ban the tube top
Ban the tube top tonight
Tonight, oh yeah, woo!

Ha ha, I'm sorry, I went to Mars for a second, but I'm back now and I've got T-shirts for everybody!

Reel Big Fish ("RBF") is a ska punk band from Huntington Beach, California, United States who broke into the mainstream in the mid to late 1990s, formed in 1992.

Their debut album, "Everything Sucks" (1995), was an underground hit and led to a deal with Mojo Records (see also Mojo), an indie label. "Turn the Radio Off" (1996) established the band in the underground music scene, and they began touring throughout the USA. After the single "Sell Out" began breaking into the mainstream, including MTV, the album made an appearance on the charts. The ska revival was short-lived, however, and "Why Do They Rock So Hard?" (1998) did not lead the group to the mainstream.

Reel Big Fish released "Cheer Up" (2002) which began a movement into harder rock and pop sounds, with much less ska than the previous albums. The song "Where Have You Been?" was aimed at a wider audience, trying to drop the less popular ska sound, but was met with little mainstream success, despite the video. Their second most recent studio album was "We're Not Happy Until You're Not Happy" (2005).

They recently released "Our Live Album is Better Than Your Live Album" (2006) which includes 2 discs worth or their own tunes and a few covers of popular songs along with a DVD. They have worked on the soundtrack to BASEketball, which included a cover of A-Ha's Take On Me.

In 2006, they split from Jive records, who produced a "Best of" album against the will of the band, who could not prevent the release. The band has made a campaign to try and stop people buying the album.

Their latest album, "Monkeys For Nothing and the Chimps For Free" (2007) includes some songs that were previously recorded and released on other albums.

In 2009, they released "Fame, Fortune, and Fornication" an album composed of covers of older songs, including "Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty, and "Nothin' But a Good Time" by Poison.
