fntmsage’s modernized TikTok version of Bowling For Soup’s cover of the SR-71 track “1985” absolutely blew up. It was so big that he even made another video talking about how he’s trying to release a full version of the song as soon as possible. The new, updated version changes the lyrics around to accommodate those looking for that early 2000’s nostalgia. It centers around the year 2005. 

So, instead of singing about U2 and Blondie, fntmsage replaces them with Panic! At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, the Used, Juno, Superbad and even Manic Panic Pink Hair Dye. He also talks about Matt Skiba singing in blink-182 instead of Tom DeLonge. Watch the original below.

Well, the video apparently got so popular that Bowling For Soup’s own Jaret Reddick thought it would be fun to pay tribute.

He does a side by side of him with the original and bobs his head along to the new lyrics. Reddick seems a bit confused by the Mean Girls and Superbad references in addition to a few others but is genuinely feeling it. He’s also holding what looks like the Platinum RIAA Certification that Bowling For Soup achieved for the single in 2008. Check it out below.

fntmsage was stunned by all of the love the video received and posted an additional video of him featuring some fan reactions as well as Reddick’s. He gives an update saying he’s trying to get the full version of the Bowling For Soup hit out as soon as possible.

As we get older, we find ourselves looking back to when we thought things were the best. The classic Bowling For Soup hit describes a time that most of us didn’t grow up in. It references U2, Blondie and music still being on MTV (all there is now is 24 hours of Ridiculousness).

While we do love Blondie, a more modern version of the track would be just the ticket to nostalgia central. fntmsage sings about The Used, Superbad, and Manic Panic Hair Dye. He harkens back to a time when we all bought CDs and worried about our Myspace profile song. Check out the cool new version of the song below.

fntmsage said he was surprised by the popularity the video gained. He released another video talking about how he’s trying to release a full version of the song as soon as possible. He ends that video with a little throwback that EuroTrip or Lustra fans will be fond of.

Here’s a fun fact. “1985” was originally written and recorded by SR-71 and Bowling For Soup covered it. The BFS version reached No. 23 on Billboard’s Hot 100.

It’s also important to note that Bowling For Soup gave an update to one of their hits back in 2019. The new “Girl All The Bad Guys Want” included references to  YUNGBLUD, Bring Me The Horizon, Post Malone and more. Watch that video below.
