| As sad as this song is, I can't deny it's awesome. I've felt the same all my life, and I still am a datless loser. But RBF makes it cool to be proud of something like this. Reel Big Fish rocks | |

| I think it's a good measure of the power of RBF that their use of the simple line "We are the dateless losers - lonely until we die" is so heartbreaking. | |

| Wow. I just got home from a long day of hanging out with my best friend and her boyfriend of 11 months.. and I'm thinking about how much of a loser I am, and how alone and whatnot. Anywho, I sign on, and I see "the last comment posted", so I check it out, and this was the song that it was posted on. Anywho, I thought that was completely random and awesome. I need to find this song and listen to it. Random outburst, but then again, who am i? None less than Some Random Girl. | |

| i like this song the most off of the Cheer Up album as it was the first song i heard them sing live, and i remember it so well :D and plus, im a dateless loser, but this song is so happy sounding (Even though the lyrics aren't) it makes me feel that being one is a GOOD thing ;) | |
