Stranger Than Fishin Lyrics

Got a no string guitar, got a sunn beta head
I’m a rock N roll star
I ain’t no musician some things are stranger than fishin

Got a beat on a drum no how to sing outta key
Got some illegal drugs
I ain’t no musician some things are stranger than fishin

I know what I I’m weight out another gram
Some of us have all the luck
No matter how much we fucking suck

Am i blind or i see the connection to Graffin's song "Stranger Than Fiction" ? If yeah then YTF would nofx go that apeshit on BR ?

Hopefully i'm just a dumb fuck who saw the wrong connection. Fortunately chances are i am.

I don't think there's a connection beyond the title. The NOFX song just seems to explore how easy it is to be a punk band.

Err?

This is a "parody" of Stranger than Fiction, much like Surfer is a reference to Bad Religion's Suffer. I do, however, think that they're singing about themselves so I don't see how they're going apeshit on Graffin and co.

seeherpee is exactly right. NOFX love to pun on Bad Religion stuff...this is not meant to be taken as a shot. The two bands have long been friends...or at least friendly. When i saw NOFX about 6 months ago they stated, "We are by far the best band to ever play in this city....wait...has Bad Religion played here???....okay we're the 2nd best band then."

Yeah, I think here Mike is going about how a lot of schooled musicians never get anywhere while people like himself -an amateur musician who can barely sing and plays only simple stuff on his instrument- are getting to make a living off of music.
