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, 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 GirlOfTheWeek. Basically the kind of themes you'd find in anew average Blink 182 song or a high school freshman's journal.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: "Here's Your Freakin' Song" is written about the singer's (presumably ex) girlfriend, who always begged him to write a song about her. So he did. And, well... if she's ''not'' his ex, she certainly ''will'' be after she hears it.

* BittersweetEnding: "Graduation Trip" ends with the singer and his girlfriend ultimately drifting apart, due to them getting together on a four-day-long trip and living in separate states, but it's clear there's no bitterness on either end, and the singer is glad to hear the girl is doing well.

** A lot of their songs touch on this, when the narrator doesn't get the girl - notably, in "A-Hole," the narrator fully admits that [[JerkassRealization they were a jerk]], and apologizes to his (now-ex) girlfriend, hoping she can find somebody better.
