Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Ben Rhythm Player	#1 by Ben Jammin at May 15, 1971 at 2:12 PM EST
	this song rox my sox hehe but can someone explain the word 'merch' please!?!?! thank you

No Picture Simon (Si) Lead Player	#2 by Simon (Si) Brown at May 6, 1972 at 3:32 AM EST
	The first section up there is awesome, that's why I love Say Anything.

No Picture floyd Lead Player	#3 by floyd lloyd at Jun 6, 1975 at 11:46 PM EST
	such a good song. my name is molly so that just makes it 10 times better. i anticipate the reactions of my ex-boyfriends when they hear this. Amazing.

No Picture Ziggy Professional	#4 by Ziggy at Jul 31, 1975 at 7:27 AM EST
	The brutal honesty of the character's lyrics (if you dont know this is a rock opera buy the damn cd please), are what makes him so popular, but also what costs him in his social life, yet he continues to do exactly what he has been doing to loose the girl, in this song. This one is pretty easy to figure out.

No Picture cody Rhythm Player	#5 by cody watts at Sep 25, 1975 at 12:33 AM EST
	The idea about the record lable seems right but i just wanted to add in the idea that the name Molly could have come from the 80's actress Molly Ringwald (16 Candles and Pretty in Pink). kind of a long shot but max talkes about her in another song (That's That) and they are named after the great 80's movie Say Anything. just wanted to put that out there.

No Picture Josh Average	#6 by Josh Braun at Mar 6, 1977 at 12:23 PM EST
	this song intrigues me because the name he uses i believe rock scissors probably has the true reason why molly was used but if anyone didnt know molly is slang for an mdma tab which is ecstacy i know max claims hes only "smoked pot" but i believe this song could be about drug addiction where as in molly represents his addiction

No Picture amy Average	#7 by amy at May 20, 1979 at 9:09 AM EST
	Merchandise

No Picture danielle Lead Player	#8 by danielle woodley at May 6, 1985 at 5:22 AM EST
	Oh man this song his great. I love the part where he says "you god damn kids had best be gracious with the merch money you spend because for you i won’t ever have rough sex with molly connolly again" so funny

No Picture john Average	#9 by john at Apr 23, 1988 at 1:22 PM EST
	sorry i feel i should elaborate. this is such a hateful, spiteful and vindictive song, but it's so fucking catchy, and they know it. post prudiction handclaps, the hooky guitar riffs, the chorus, all of it. it's a pop ode to hate and spite and selfishness. it's so good!

No Picture Neal Average	#10 by Neal Breen at Jan 26, 1989 at 6:10 AM EST
	awesome. even better live.

No Picture kyle Average	#11 by kyle sharpshooter at Mar 12, 1990 at 1:00 PM EST
	I tend not to think of Molly Connoly as a girl, but as a record company who dropped SA because they wouldnt say what the label wanted them to.

No Picture brandon Rhythm Player	#12 by brandon q at Mar 25, 1990 at 9:19 AM EST
	it's not about an ecstasy addiction. ecstasy's not even addictive.

No Picture Rodney Wanna Be	#13 by Rodney at Aug 2, 1990 at 4:57 AM EST
	"sheslikeohsoemo", WHAT? it's not saying she's a hooker, it's saying they'd better repay him for losing molly ortherwise it wouldn't be worth it. if it was insinuating she's a hooker it would say: you god damn kids had best be gracious with the merch money you spend because OTHERWISE i won’t ever have rough sex with molly connolly again but it doesn't, does it.

No Picture Faiz Average	#14 by Faiz fender at Jan 6, 1993 at 9:23 AM EST
	Haha, it would be great to be broken up with "over the revealing nature of the song". Suffering for your art kicks ass. He IS so pretentious. You fall madly in love with it without even knowing it. And I heart the handclaps.

No Picture ♥Chicken Average	#15 by ♥Chicken On Heroine Shots♥ at Aug 8, 1996 at 11:30 AM EST
	good song

No Picture kyle Professional	#16 by kyle mcdonough at Sep 7, 1996 at 8:46 AM EST
	every song in this album has a reference to a popular musical, this song is based on the unsinkable molly brown (1960). say anything is so smart. gosh

No Picture steven Lead Player	#17 by steven ratliff at Jan 28, 1997 at 6:15 AM EST
	i love this song. it sounds like an anthem.

No Picture Jesse Professional	#18 by Jesse Garcia at Apr 19, 1997 at 6:52 AM EST
	I dont want to seem like an ass hole or anything but the song is called Every man has A molly. also i dont think the record label idea is really correct because not every man has a record deal!!! but i shouldt realy be critisizing your opinions,sorry,cool song by the way.

No Picture maximus Average	#19 by maximus hyrule at Jan 5, 2000 at 12:26 PM EST
	you god damn kids had best be gracious with the merch money you spend because for you i won’t ever have rough sex with molly connolly again that totally makes me laugh. i love this song. i love max. i love sayanything.

No Picture Harry Average	#20 by Harry Johnson at May 30, 2000 at 5:23 AM EST
	oh, and yeah, this is definitly a good thing.

No Picture Pasquale Average	#21 by Pasquale at Jan 13, 2001 at 10:44 AM EST
	this guy is such an asshole. haha i love it.

No Picture Katie Wanna Be	#22 by Katie St. Michel at Dec 26, 2001 at 3:52 AM EST
	Am I the only one who think this song sounds like weezer early stuff (I mean blue / pinkerton era) ? Even in the lyrics, even if Max goes more straight to the point...

No Picture devon Average	#23 by devon patterson at Jan 8, 2004 at 3:10 PM EST
	i like that last idea. i think it's an amazing song because on the most straightforward level, he's saying that he's giving up molly because he can't afford her because of the profession he's in. he's telling the kids at a concert that they should buy more merch because he can't buy molly anymore which insinuates that molly is a hooker. he's saying he's giving her up because he'd rather be singing for the kids. this is such an arrogant asshole song but max likes to slip in little sublities that show he's actually a nice guy. he kind of shows that he likes molly for more than the sex. every song makes me fall for max a little bit more, even though he's a complete asshole in most of the songs. but you just can't help it for someone who's this amazing and just... real. nothing stops him from speaking his mind.

No Picture Aaron Average	#24 by Aaron Smith at Jan 8, 2004 at 5:21 PM EST
	merchandise money?? alrighty then

No Picture Fatty [eats chi Average	#25 by Fatty [eats children] kid at Jun 5, 2007 at 10:43 AM EST
	I laugh every time. and i think max is mocking the fact that so many "rockstar" guys write songs specifically about their girlfriends, and how this ruins the relationship. he's so damn cocky here, i love it.
