Teenage Dirtbag is a hit song by Wheatus, released in 2000. The song is about an awkward teenager and his unrequited love for a popular schoolgirl, inspired by vocalist Brendan B. Browns personal experiences. The song touches on themes of youth alienation and rebellion, and became an anthem for many youths of its time. It was widely popular for its relatable narrative and humorous approach to serious issues.

Her name is Noelle,
I have a dream about her.
She rings my bell.
I got gym class in half an hour.
Oh, how she rocks,
In keds and tube socks,
But she doesn't know who I am,
And she doesn't give a damn about me.

'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
Yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me.


Her boyfriend's a dick
and he brings a gun to school,
And he'd simply kick
My ass if he knew the truth.
He lives on my block
And he drives an Iroc
But he doesn't know who I am,
And he doesn't give a damn about me.

'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
Yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me.

Yeeah, -------- Dirtbag, ----------
No, she doesn't know what she's missing.
Yeeah, -------- Dirtbag, ----------
No, she doesn't know what she's missing.


Man, I feel like mould,
It's prom night and I am lonely.
Lo and behold:
She's walking over to me.
This must be fake,
My lip starts to shake.
How does she know who I am?
And why does she give a damn about?
I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby,
Come with me Friday, don't say maybe.
I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby like you.

Yeeah, -------- Dirtbag, ----------
No, she doesn't know what she's missing.
Yeeah, -------- Dirtbag, ----------
No, she doesn't know what she's mis - sing.
