Straight To Video

Album: You'll Rebel To Anything (2005)

Songfacts®:

  • "Straight To Video" refers to a movie that is either so bad or so cheaply-made (or pornographic) that it is never released in theaters and goes directly to the video store (like many Olsen Twins productions). In the context of the song, it means taking the easy way out, which causes fewer problems but is ultimately unfulfilling. >>>

  • Chickencupcakes from Dallas, Txlikka bad gal str8 2 v1deo!
  • Thomas Chase from Wellsville, NyI simply love the video to this song. Especially Jimmy's green pants.
  • Brian from Vjenne, NetherlandsGreat song. I love the piece of the song when he goes like ' I never noticed.. No never noticed.. You're so amazing.. ' Great song. But I guess most of their songs are great. I like Never Wanted To Dance too.
  • Dykie from Sunrise, FlIts obvious you have no idea what MSI is about
    Sure Jimmy Urine does add stupid things about his penis but he also says alot more
    There are alot of good songs out there by them that mean alot more
    And MSI isnt a band made for struggles of life, if you havent noticed
    Their just a fun band that puts a lot of work into what they do
  • Brad from Knoxville, TnI dont listen to much msi, just kill the rock, i wish some one would add it.
  • Cassie from Overland Park, KsI love MSI!
  • Eleanore from Miami, FlMSI is a really good band,
    but most of their songs are so artificial.
    Like, where's the emotion?
    it's all about his penis and being bisexual.
    I love MSI, but they aren't a really good lyrical band
  • Tina from L.a., Caawesome song... love it when he says i never noticed ur so amazing.... because i feel as if people are constantly taken for granted...
  • Danny from San Bernardino, CaThis Song, Like Most Of MSIs Songs, Is About Jimmys Struggles In Life And In The Music Biz. All This Songs Needs Is Jimmy Talking About How Gay/Stupid/Small Penis He Is, How Dumb We Are For Listening To Him And Making Fun Of Other Artists/Celebs/Music. It Would Be A Complete MSI Song Then.
