Format, The - Dog Problems Lyrics

It has been 14 years and this is still my go to depression song.

2020 here! Still a great song!

Anyone else here reminiscing after The Format's most recent social media emergence? Would really like to get these guys together again, at least for one more live show.

2:52 bohemian rhapsody reference?

oobi falls into a deep depression

does anyone know this song because of their zune

FUN is ok but the Format is the bomb!

Sounds like American version of Freddy Mercury

I come from the future, is 2018 and this song is still amazing.

the gsoat

this is sad

Man I can't believe I forgot about these guys! This song got me through some rough times. One of the few sad songs that gives you a boost at the end and reminds you to keep going

La música esta buena pero el vídeo clip no se ve bien con esas manos
que les costaba usar unas marionetas o aunque sea con unas medias se hubiera visto mucho mejor

Unreleased Reprise querían ser original? Jaja

catch bad luck.

*SO GLAD I FONALLY FOUND THIS SONG* got it from zune

I love it so much!!!

This is such a great song that tells a story. Very unique.

When you're 24 years old and Oobi seems like a great music video

Well, it might be a little more entertaining for Levon now?

Reminds me of 2009 so much. A friend told me about them and loved it then and love it now. Thanks Dean.

I forgot how much I loved this song.

I just love his voice so much 😩😍

8 years since i listen this song , hace a lit of feelins , pretty.

I love Nate on a whole new level. I did not know about this!

I donno who you other 99,000 are, but the other 800,071 were probably plays by me :/

I'm probably a go 80,000 of those 99,000

+The CountryGamer good

Only one unfortunately.

My cousin was the one who told him that his girlfriend was cheating on him.... WITH HIS BEST FRIEND... While he was on tour!

It puts the entire song into perspective.

Lane Shockley really?

Lane Shockley how do u know tho

kinda jealous ur cousin knows nate. correction, SUPER jealous

I thought they went to deer valley high school?

This video is literally me as a person ....words can't describe how much I identify with this

+Lovelin Sin (Lovelitchi) i feel the same way you are not alone.....

you dumb

So I guess your a hand then

I bet when she slept with that other guy she gave him a handjob...

Sigh...too soon man...too soon.

That's dark.

i saw them live in 2005 it was amazing

anyone else find out about this song from their first Zune?

+Eric Head Omg, yeah! I saw this as one of the default videos they had on the Zune.

I use to watch this 'cause I didn't know how to download any videos or songs on the Zune yet. xD

I was a kid then and now I finally found it and can enjoy it again! It's a sad story for a hand-puppet song.

oh yeah, zunes were a thing...

I found out my sisters boyfriend who found them on zune

2:55 reminds me of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen

That was the point ha. They did that on purpose.

God I hadn't been hearing the song for 7 years

Haha the Nate hand with the hat! So great.

This is one of the saddest songs I know.

headlights by nate reuss and eminem

Kevin O'Connell stop being a bitch.

Kevin O'Connell ʙʀᴜʜ ʏᴏᴜ'ʟʟ ᴅʀᴏᴘ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴀᴛ ᴇʟʟɪᴏᴛᴛ sᴍɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇɴ

Is it strange that this doesn't make me sad but she doesn't get it does?

AWESOMENESS

@Georgia Udall

This video is so clever.

すごく好きな歌です。どなたか歌詞を日本語に訳してもらえませんか？
ちょっとだけでもいいです。よろしくお願いします。

That was pretty incredible

this is sooooo lipsinked 

All new to me. Glad I found, subscribed. Great sound.

Man, this song is so good but it makes me so sad. Unfortunately, most of us have been there.

Haha, 8 years and I hadn't seen the official video so far. This is brilliant!

damn 7 years 

one of my favorite songs and videos....awesome.

like this if your listening to this song in 2014!

beginnng of 2016 !

2016 going onto 2017; let's keep it going...

3/4 of 2018 already passed! keep it going..

Not sure if I like FUN. or THE FORMAT better. Aim and Ignite and Dog Problems were both fantastic albums.

Aim and Ignite and Dog Problems!<3
They're my favorite of the two bands, too!

The Format hands down. See that's a metaphor, no wait a similie.... It's actually an idiom and double entendra that led to a pun that explains why The Format is like butter to the ears... Which is an actual similie. Which bring me to my point... Nate Reuss has an angelic voice... a metaphor.... But The Format's melancholy just wieghed a ton on the heart.... That last one was a stretch but Hyperbole all the same.... See what I just did? This reply could keep going in circles... OK, Ok, I'll stop now.

I like both but cmon the format is deff by far a way better band!!

@Tim Bishop you hurt my brain

I listened to the format cause my sis was obsessed with them and even got to see them but I now regret not getting into them but I'm also a Supporter of Fun now. Love the band so much <3

The moment I swore Nate was slightly insane

YES! I got a zune in fifth grade, and this was one of 3 videos that came with it, but that thing broke down before I could even put music on it... this song has been stuck in my head for 8 years and I finally found it ;w; <3

Kora Marinov ME TOO OMG ME TOO I LOVE NOSTALGIA

At least I'm not the only one

I found it through my Spotify recommended and immediately recognized nates voice cause this was years after some night haha.

3:53, anyone else see the band aid in his wrist? haha

oh, pain in my throat. got it

This is perfect.

Obsessed

Nate explained in an interview that in a way it's both. He's trying to spell "because," but he ends up putting an extra C in and spelling his ex's name, and then, "I never finish phrases I misspell," is meant to explain that connection. He's a genius.

"And I hate what I've become"- The first single
"When I said I hate what I've become, I lied I hated who I was."- Dog problems 3

Doubt it.

So many feels.

2:24, dude that's dangerous!!!

Way prefer The Format to Fun. The lyrics are more quirky and jazzy. Love it.

No, you've got it wrong. I'll put the important letters in capitals.
B is for believing you'll always be here for me, E is for everything, even if we see it through. C,C's for seeing through you, you are a fake, which brings me to A.....

Look at the letters in capitals. Haha, there's nothing in the because part.

NATE <3

Is this song about someone named becca? I don't get the spell-out part... lol

"This is referring to the previous verse where he tries to spell “because” but he ends up spelling “Becca” instead. Becca is implied to be the name of his ex. Whenever he tries to write “because”, he ends up writing his ex’s name instead, causing him to break down." - https://genius.com/14503226

Real talk, they're equal. People don't like the sound of the new music, or they like how The Format was underground and they're being hipsters about it... Nate Ruess' awesome lyrics haven't changed. Just the sound, and to some The Format would win because they're more acoustic than Fun. and some vice versa, but it's sort of unfair to compare the two considering only the sound (which is still awesome in its own ways) has changed.

To be honest, I have to thank Panic! At the Disco for this. When their song, C'mon, came out, I really liked Nate's voice, and then I started listening to more and more of fun. Wanting more, I looked him up and now here I am on what is currently one of my favorite songs only finding out about it 7 years after it came out.

This is such a cool song and such an awesome music video. Nate Ruess is awesome.

Nate Ruess is a genius. His lyrics in all of his songs aren't cliche and extremely creative and emotional, especially the ones in Be Calm, my personal favorite.

NATE RUESS IS A GOD.

My cats hate this song.

Best thing ever

I think we're twins :P
Except I jsut recently - sadly - became more interested in The Format. Honestly, I've listened to this song at least 10 times tonight. ❤

Im a humongous FUNatic and i just happened to click on this.... Cool.... Odd.... But cool.

I really felt connected to this hand (who I named Andy).

I am a fun. fan and wanted to check Nate's previous band. Fun song but the video is strange.

I'm a huge fun. fan, and I always look up songs from their old bands. I just feel like I'm betraying fun. somehow...

THAT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strange but... A good song! :)

The end is perfect! *lifts hat* "woo!" C:

I dont think someone can really say which band is better officially. Since they both are different styles of music. I havent heard enough of format to say what i like better, but ithink both are fantastic because nate ruess is in both of them :3

@Below thats exactly how it was with me. :)

Basically the story of my life. I had known about fun. when they came out with "We Are Young", "Some Nights", and "Carry On", and I thought they were really good. I never really paid much attention to how good they were, though, until I was wandering around YouTube and came across "Walking the Dog", at which point I then listened to all of fun.'s songs. I was Googling Nate Ruess, and found he was in a band called The Format before fun. and too fell in love with this band. Nate is pure genius.

But real talk, the format is better isn't it?

That was the cutest music video ever and I sure as hell hope that was Nate's hand XD

I love Nate Ruess

Fun. or The Format, I still appreciate his musics. Nothing better than that. :)

i like fun. better

this gives shivers!

haha, i never realized people'd probably be enthusiasts of one over the other...

i never got the chance to see The Format, but i saw fun. at Bonnaroo last year...

simply put, these guys are fantastic musicians, and my force of opinion says, YOUR TASTE IN MUSIC IS PERFECT!

all of ours are.

ME TOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Our Lord JESUS CHRIST is the Light of the world. Whoever follows Him will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. Follow JESUS CHRIST and you will be saved !

Something I noticed:
"If you can try to fix what I've undone, because I hate what I've become" The First Single, 2003
"When I say I hate what I've become, I lied, I hated who I was" This song, 2006
Sorry if this was an obvious reference, I just wanted to point it out

Cool song and Good video

I wonder if that's Nate's hand or not

im a fan of both! whats the problem?

the quote "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" comes to mind

Wo i found fun. then i found The Format then i found Nevergonnascore . Why didnt i listen to these amazing people when i was a todller?!?!? im 13 now

2:15 is it bad that this makes me cry every time?
