10 Songs Proven To Make You Happy

10. The Rock Show - Blink 182

For an entire generations of '00s kids, Blink-182's music is the encapsulation of childhood. No matter what song you throw on, any one of the band's cuts immediately triggers emotions of going back to middle school and not worrying about anything other than getting into trouble with your buddies. "The Rock Show" may be the purest expression of this care-free attitude, but the origins of it are a lot more frustrating than you might think.

As the band neared completion on their latest album, the record company told them that they didn't hear a single. Pissed at the big wigs, Mark Hoppus wrote "The Rock Show" to be one of the most generic songs he could possibly write, with lyrics revolving around a girl he met at a concert. Little did he know that this little parody of a pop rock song would come to bite him in the ass.

Over the years, "The Rock Show" has become one of the band's go-to songs, which continues to spark a frenzy in every single crowd that the band plays too. It might have had a frustrating birthing period, but "The Rock Show" has stuck around as the one song that can turn any hardened adult back into the snot-nosed punk they always were.
