Dammit

"Dammit" is a song by American pop punk band Blink-182. It was the first single released from the band's second album Dude Ranch. The song was written by bassist Mark Hoppus concerning a fictional breakup with his girlfriend. Sung entirely by Hoppus in the studio recording, guitarist Tom DeLonge usually sings the chorus in live performances. Released shortly after the release of Dude Ranch, "Dammit" became Blink-182's first hit single, reaching number 11 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart. Giving the band a glimpse of mainstream popularity, the success of the single paved the way for the massive success of Blink 182’s next album, Enema of the State. The song remains one of the band's most popular tracks as on June 2013, it was voted in at no. 19 in Triple J's hottest 100 songs of the past 20 years and no. 68 in its all time list in 2009. An alternate version of the song can be found on the Can't Hardly Wait soundtrack, the Hit Machine 20 compilation album, and the band's Greatest Hits album, which features a drumroll right after the opening notes along with louder instrumentals. Sometimes in live performances, Mark Hoppus sings choruses to popular songs from the 1990s such as TLC's "No Scrubs", "Forgot About Dre", and Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby".
