Bowling For Soup (also known as BFS) is an American pop-punk band started in 1994 in Wichita Falls, Texas. Their songs focus on drinking, partying, peppy songs about being a high school ButtMonkey and teenaged debauchery (the song High School Never Ends), and ones that are almost a deconstruction and analysis of the UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist (the song A-hole). Other times they talk about the band being high school buddies and the GirlOfTheWeek. Basically the kind of themes you'd find in an average Blink-182 song or a high school freshman's journal.

** "1985" is a song by their friends in SR-71. The Bowling for Soup version though is in a different key and has slight alterations to the lyrics to make the song less bitter and more of a celebration of TheEighties.

* TheEighties: "1985".

* DoubleEntendre: "My Wena" seems like a long dick joke until TheReveal in the video, which shows that it's actually about a weiner dog named Wena.

* AnimatedMusicVideo: The video for their cover of ''Patent Pending'''s "Hey Mario" is 8-bit and has them hanging out with [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]].

* GoodOlBoy: Averted; the band are from Texas, but despite Texas being associated with a long history of homophobia, they, at multiple points throughout several songs, make it clear they love gay people. From wishing they were gay to avoid girl troubles to stating they have no problem with gay people while singing about how a friend calls them such when he comments how he loves him.

* BigFun: Guitarist Chris Burney is difficult to miss (for more reasons than one).

''All I got's a moped''

->''"She works at hot topic,

-> She thinks that its love but to him its sex
-> He listens to emo but fat mike's his hero

-> What comes next?"''

His heart microscopic
She thinks that its love but to him its sex
He listens to emo but fat mike's his hero
His bank account's zero
What comes next?"''

->''"She works at hot topic

->''"It's like a bad movie,\\
She is lookin' through me,\\
If you were me, then you'd be,\\
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!",\\
As I fail miserably,\\
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want."''
-->--"Girl All The Bad Guys Want"

* RefrainFromAssuming: It's called "Ohio (Come Back to Texas)," not just "Come Back to Texas."
