Bad Reputation Lyrics
I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past, it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's that I'm gonna do
And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
And I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
And I'm only doin' good
When I'm havin' fun
And I don't have to please no one
And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
And I don't really care if ya think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
And I'm never gonna care 'bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
Pedal, boys!
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
The world's in trouble, there's no communication
And everyone can say what they want to say
It never gets better anyway
So why should I care 'bout a bad reputation anyway
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're living in the past, it's a new generation
And I only feel good when I got no pain
An' that's how I'm gonna stay
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not
Not me, not me
You're living in the past, it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's that I'm gonna do
And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
And I'm only doin' good
When I'm havin' fun
And I don't have to please no one
And I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
I've never been afraid of any deviation
And I don't really care if ya think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
And I'm never gonna care 'bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not me
The world's in trouble, there's no communication
And everyone can say what they want to say
It never gets better anyway
So why should I care 'bout a bad reputation anyway
Oh no, not me
You're living in the past, it's a new generation
And I only feel good when I got no pain
An' that's how I'm gonna stay
An' I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
Oh no, not
Not me, not me

fuck what other people think, it doesnt matter thats what this song means to me
I love freaks and geeks awesome show . I absolutely love this song and the fact that it just says not to give a damn about what anyone thinks and just live your life.
Ha! i love this song xD even if I am not a girl, i know both me and my girlfriend talks like cats (you know, miaw, stuff xD) when we are together, and even in public at times. seriously, my "reputation" is; gay, sizzy, girl, something along those lines, but hey, a guy can act like he wants can't he? xD love the meaning of this song, why care what the hell people think about you, they aren't going to tell me how to be. Might be bad to have an attitude like this, since you often get quite a bit of enemies or at least people who don't like you >.
Total girl power. "And I don't really care if you think I'm strange, I ain't gonna change, and I'm never gonna care about my bad reputation." Totally me! Although my girl power is like the way it was used in "Ten Things I Hate About You". I have a similar philosophy to Kat in that way-"I am me. Deal with it."
This really is a great song... why didn't it make it onto the 10 Things I Hate About You Soundtrack? It was in the movie, at the beginning. For that matter, so was "One Week" by the Barenaked Ladies, which isn't as good of a song, but still, that soundtrack was good, though short, and could have benefitted from the addition of both songs.
I have loved this song since it was on Freaks and Geeks. I think it's one of the best by Joan Jett. I totally know about it, people shouldn't care what other people think about them or what they do or look like. They don't care and are proud of it.
freaks and geeks theme song, thumbs up.
it was also used in Shrek
it was also used in Shrek
no one should "give a damn 'bout their reputations"! who cares what other people think? it's what you, and only you, think of yourself that matters.
i love this song. it makes me feel good about being an outcast.
Yeah Freaks and Geeks rocks, this is such a good song for that show!
