Song Summary: An assessment of ones present adult state in contrast with the stability of youth, and the yearning for more constant and regular sustenance, specifically "Pizza Day".

Standard Aquabats song. No big deal. Except the ending tangent Bat Commander goes on:

Link to where it starts in the song...

The best day of the week... says Michael Jackson of Encino, California.

When he's not at his little theme park he's eatin pizza with the kids.

Oh boy, moon walkers back!

Have a slice buddy!

Take off your glove first, you'll enjoy it more.

So we have a song, entitled "Pizza Day", focusing on the loss of the stability of youth and a desire to return, followed by a rant about an alleged child molestor.

Let's look at who's behind the song a bit...

Christian Richards Jacobs (born January 11, 1972) is an American musician, television producer, voice actor and former child actor. He is perhaps most recognized as the co-creator of the award-winning Nick Jr. children's television series Yo Gabba Gabba!, on which he additionally serves as a writer, director, composer and voice actor.

Jacobs was born in Rexburg, Idaho in 1972, the second of five children. Following his family's relocation to Los Angeles in 1976, Jacobs and his siblings, namely his older sister Rachel and younger brother Parker, began working as child actors.

A little light reading...

"Most of my childhood was spent going on auditions for commercials and TV shows. I didn't have an after-school, practice-with-the-team-for-state-championship childhood," he says. Every once in a while—much as on his TV show—the Fountain Valley resident and father of four will break a conversation and illustrate a point by acting out scenarios with himself animatedly. "I'd get home from school, and my parents would drive me to auditions. That's how we paid the bills: The kids were actors, and the parents were managers. . . . My childhood was pretty focused on the entertainment industry."

"The competition as an adult actor is different from when you're a kid. People are cutthroat to get a job as an adult. It became disgusting to me, and I didn't want to act professionally anymore. So I started a band."

While never becoming a breakout star, Jacobs was happy with acting. "I accepted that as long as I could keep working," he says. But as he got older and started auditioning for adult roles on soap operas and teen schlock such as Beverly Hills, 90210, he got fed up. "The competition as an adult actor is different from when you're a kid. People are cutthroat to get a job as an adult. It became disgusting to me, and I didn't want to act professionally anymore. So I started a band."

He laughs. "But it was never meant to be something serious."

So now we have someone who's a former child actor, happy with the industry despite undoubtedly being at least proximately exposed to hollywood's dark side (his parents being his "managers" and all), decides to start a kid-oriented ska band insted. Here's a song about missing the "Pizza Day" it sounds like he never really had in the first place, followed by a rant about an alleged child molestor.

Creepy, to say the least, and as a long-time Aquabats fan this connection makes even me a little queasy, but there needs to be a substantial connection or else it's all just conjecture.

Blink-182 and the Aquabats toured extensively.

Travis Barker was a drummer for the aquabats until leaving for Blink-182.

Even Fox Mulder wouldn't want to believe.

Delonge and short of it: Song about "Pizza Day" with a Podesta connection. More shit for the shit pile.
