Remember the time that I spilled the cup of apple juice in the hall?

The verses in the Sum 41 have a cool, driving, aggressive energy, but the choruses are terrible.

Also, what a dated music video. Nice to see Will Sasso though

Adam's Song hit me pretty hard when I first heard it at 12 years old. The silly line about apple juice and then telling mom it's not her fault... damn.

I like both of these, but still pretty easy call for Adam's Song.

Adam's Song is the only Blink song I've ever liked.

Gonna go against the grain here and say I find "Adam's Song" super fucking tedious. "Still Waiting" isn't great but it earns my vote.

Adam's Song just sounds so...exploitative to me. The lyrics are awful. REMEMBER THE TIME, I SPILLED THE CUP! ....OF APPLE JUICE! IN THE HALL!

Its so dumb that it almost seems to be making fun of suicidal kids while also profiting off of them, so it rubs me the wrong way .

It's not like suicidal kids will be needing the money.
