Blink 182 - Dammit

Blink 182 - "Dammit" is the first single by Blink-182 from their second album Dude Ranch. It was the song which gave them their first mainstream success, peaking at #11 on the Billboard Modern Rock Track Chart. It was sung by Mark Hoppus in the studio recording, but Tom DeLonge would usually sing the chorus in live performances. The song concerns a fictional breakup between the writer and his girlfriend, and was supposedly written in five minutes, on a broken guitar.

An alternate version of the song can be found on the Can't Hardly Wait soundtrack, Hit Machine 20 and the Greatest Hits album, which features a drumroll right after the opening notes along with louder instrumentals.

Music video by blink-182 performing

Dammit
with Darren Doane [Video Director], Ken Daurio [Video Director], Darren Doane [Video Producer] shows the band members going to see a movie, where the co-singer, Mark Hoppus, sees his ex-girlfriend with another guy. Mark, devastated, throws his popcorn into the air and Tom and Scott stand around acting like nothing happened. When the band enters the theater, Mark's ex-girlfriend sits in front of him, so Mark tries to talk to her. She shoos Mark and so he starts doing annoying things to distract them from the movie. This includes, putting his feet up on their seats, getting up and spilling popcorn on them, and falling in between them trying to get candy from Tom. He then tries to put his arm around his ex-girlfriend, and the other guy chases Mark out of the theater and they start to have a cartoon like fight, while Tom and Scott just stand in the background drinking their soda. The video ends with Hoppus and the boyfriend fighting and the girlfriend walking away with a theater employee, played by Rick DeVoe (Blink-182's manager).
