Bowling For Soup Drunk Enough To Dance CD

"Girl All The Bad Guys Want" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.

With Marvelous 3's Butch Walker at the production helm and a firm tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, Bowling For Soup once again separates itself from the pop-punk masses by way of DRUNK ENOUGH TO DANCE, the band's third full-length outing. Leaning more towards Rivers Cuomo's geek-punk sans the dark overtones versus the smart-ass bluster of Sum 41, BFS plays perennial runner-up in the game of love. Going cheeky versus bitter in addressing their romantic shortcomings, these Texans conjure up ear candy like "She's Got A Boyfriend," harmony-soaked post-break-up anthem "Life After Lisa," and chugging "Girl All The Bad Guys Want." Other highlights include Blink-182-ish manna like the pogo-ready "Cold Shower Tuesdays," the galloping insistence of "The Last Rock Show," and quick shuffling story-song "Running From Your Dad." Thanks to Walker's work and a quick wit, Bowling For Soup throws a strike with DRUNK ENOUGH TO DANCE.
