Wheatus - Wannabe Gangstar Lyrics

why they went with this version for the video? Album version is 100 times better

They're like a poor mans Smashmouth

Oof now I see why they only had the one song

Anyone else here because of the movie The New Guy (2002)?

Singer reminds me of Stevie T

I don't think it's too bad tbh

Just here for the hook

'Mac and Me' was better than this

Whenever people tell you that music used to be better back in the day show them this

Wheatus is that special kind of terrible from the 90’s, that’s pure gold

This might be one of the worst songs I've ever heard. Who gave them the funding for this video?

Best video ever, dude.

Is it wrong g that I want to bang the backup singers from Wheatus?

...is a question that answers itself

Still Hurts

why is everyone hating on this song ?

wearing sunglasses inside the house dumb video, terribly lame instrumentals, rap interlude beyond unlistenable, .... there's that

What the actual hell. I don’t ever wanna see this or remember this ever again.

The alien is now part of Los Aztecas. He maybe knew César

They have more than one song?

Ladies and Gentlemen... the shittest band ever...

Hahaha this is funny

The song sorta sucks but I remember this playing during a really long road trip and yeah

Why is he strumming his acoustic so hard

This isn't the version of Wannabe Gangster I used to listen to...it was a million times better.

I wonder how Bruce feels about being associated with this now...

This comment section is about 89% hating on them and 11% Teenage Dirtbag references

Anyone listens to this in 2019?😂

I am right now and I am from Commack. I don't why they made this video. This isn't the original mix from their album. This sounds terrible and completely different

ouch! i hurt my expectations after seeing teenage dirtbag!

why is the msutic different from the album?

I do like the extra energy in the chorus compared to the album version.

teenage dertbag only good song of his.

6th grade me had these lyrics down pat

Awesome remix 🙂

Rofl I’m from that town

Name one música nome da primeira música 🇧🇷

The hell?

day screaming at the end XD

this isnt the wheatus i remembee

This is horrible

How the hell did they get Bruce Dickinson for this?

which one is the illegal alien hahaha?

This is one of my favorite horrible bands

Ouch this video is awful. The album version is SO much better!

Bruce ❤

if e.t went compton

It's making fun of commack, a town in Long Island where all the "tuff" white kids in the early 2000s would act as if they were gang members, blasting 50 cent and wearing oversized pants.

Or every white city in general

is 50 cent not good enough for the great band wheatus

Brendan Amoruso 50 Cent wasn't even known when this song was released

terrible...

What. The. Fuck. Is this shit.

Guess What Futuristic Video. And Now Listen WE ARE IN THE FUCKING FUTURE ALREADY!!! 2017 BABY!!!

Could've been a decent song, but man, that hook... Just no.

this is a fucked version of wannabe gangster. where's the original?

Listen to the album version of this song!

cuzam yusta tin age

Holy shit teenage dirtbag was awesome but this is hideous lmao wow

Yea man.. Better go back to Commack ....

Almost the same song as teenage dirtbag.

Rap sounds like Beastie Boys

Alright

GTA🤡🤑🤣😅😎🇹🇯🇺🇸🏉🏰

lmaoooooooo wth is this?

Bruce coming in an owning it lol. Also these guys defo werent one hit wonders. They had three hits, so they did well

what is fashion?

okay so i have the cd and the cd version is so much better. love the band but i absolutely hate this version of the song.

Now I know why you have only one hit...

Why is bruce dickinson here?

Idk but I know in "Teenage Dirtbag" they mentioned Iron Maiden. Pretty cool that Bruce ended up in the video actually.

@mihirmaiden18
Ofc! Didn't think of that

the original was much better

So creepy. Looks like ET when he came out of his mother. Also, since when is Wheatus gangsters.

this is horrible

hahahhaahah this is just bad

If E.T. landed in East L.A....

Is the lead singer Jeff from American Dad???

Filthy Frank's vid just like this

et gone bad

why did they remake their own song? the original is much superior.

meric316 I disagree

This needs or get meme'd.

Caralho é muito ruim essa banda pqp kkk's

oh so the alien from filthy franks vid really did make it

this version if the song is really weird the album version is so much better,that whole album is great but this is just weird the tune doesn't make sense with the song

bb ghv b0 0

This is such trash. No wonder they were a one hit wonder.

They became a one hit wonder because of the dispute they had with Sony with their second album. This song was on the same album as Teenage Dirtbag.

Joel Wayne your mean my friend Is in it

Guess you only heard this and Teenage Dirtbag? They are a very good band. I would like you to listen to some other songs they did, like The London Sun, I am what I am, The Truth I Tell Myself, Randall, Freak on etc.

The New Guy brought me here.

TEENAGE DIRTBANG , BABY

Im confused...

this band is horrible

yet you sit and watch videos of them lol

Wait Jamie Kennedy is that you? You wanna be gangstar...

the alien gangster looks a bit like E.T

The rap in this song is supposed to be bad, because he's supposed to be a "Wannabe Gangster".

OG ET XD

Album version is a trillion times better

no ,it isn't. This version is better. The album version is monotone

This has to be the worst video in existence.

Jeremy Wells nah

I interviewed Brendan for my student radio station many years ago. He said he saw this video and thought "Well... I suppose I had a nice career."

Even worse than Bomfunk MCs "Freestyler".

And they know it. I'm here because I saw Wheatus live tonight, and Brendan (quite proudly) introduced this song as having the 'worst video ever'.

@Diamonds 782000 what ru some kind of gayaholelic

I loved Teenage Dirtbag but this one sounds like one of those songs an artist shoots out just to make money and has ran out of ideas. -_-

Bruce makes this song decent.

terrible

He doesn't get near as much recognition as Eminem but he is a good rapper

I actually like this as much as Teenage Dirtbag, I don't see what's rong with It honestly? The vocals and lyrics are pretty on point.

Its the hook

I DO like the lyrics and the verses, but the chorus is completely vanilla, cookie cutter late 90's alt-pop a la Sugar Ray and Vertical Horizon. It sounds like teenie bopper mall music and doesn't flow with the rest of the song at all. But everything else I dig.

@Revidescent84 that hook cringe worthy and those white people looking like buttermilk

@Stewie Griffin
Lol. Eh, I've heard worse. If we're judging on a sliding scale of overall musical whiteness, with 1 being ODB and 10 being Kenny G, I'd give this a 7.5. Just because kids who listened to this in the 90s shopped at Abercrombie, but they all had a copy of 'The Chronic' or 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' for just enough street cred. XD

the song is okay but the video is real funny! :)

ahh love this so much <3

cant believe these guys are opening for busted this year
