Blink-182: The Party Song Meaning

The Party Song Lyrics

Do you want to come to a party
My friends picked me up in their truck at 11:30
This thing's at a frat house but people are cool there
Well I did if I followed but I never dreamed there
Would be someone there who would catch my attention
I...

   I think it means that a lot of people aren't who they appear to be. He thought she was the one because she seemed like someone who would be a lot of fun to be with and after getting to know her he realised that she is, in fact, fake. She wasn't who she looked like on the outside and ultimately she was a whore looking to get some. I think that in the long run it's saying don't be fooled by appearences.

   About a dude that goes to a party, not looking for a girl (!) hence the lyrics- 'I wasnt out searching for love or affection'. However, there is a girl there with, as someone said before stereotypical beauty; green eyes, long blonde hair. He thought she would maybe be fun and be the one but he discovers that she is a whore trying to hard for sex etc.

   I think that The Party Song is talking about a going to a party. He finds a girl with green eyes and long blonde hair. He thought that she was a really cool person and might be the one, but she was fake. She was trying too hard.

   I think this song is actually more about girls 'trying to hard' to be something of a sex symbol and trying to be sexier than they are.

   This song is about a guy who goes to a party looking for a girl he can have fun with. Like real fun, not just sex fun. Then he sees this girl sparks his interest, blonde haired green eyed stereotypical beauty. Turns out that she's just a whore and she tries too hard to impress him that she turns out to be one huge turn off.
   
   Hmm. Sounds like my ex best friend.

   I think this song is about going to a party but not looking for sex but instead looking for someone to have a relationship. So he meets a girl who he thinks is the one, but he finds out all she wants is sex and she is trying really hard to get someone to have sex, but he doesn't have sex and he never calls her back.

   "Some girls try to hard." That is the whole song meaning.
