Adventures of Pete and Pete "Waiting for October" by Polaris 

As a kid, I recorded this song on VHS at the end of Pete & Pete episodes and then dubbed the fragments together to try to recreate the whole song. It was tricky because the Nickelodeon host would always start talking over the song at a different place. "Next stay tuned for My Brother and Me..." I was glad when the cereal box cassette came out and even gladder when the whole soundtrack was released years later.. These songs mean the world to me. I need to catch Polaris live!

Pete and Pete has to be the best kids show ever made. It still holds up to this day for being a 30 year old show.

Watching Pete and Pete, listening to this jam and I’m taken back to a better time. The 90’s were a great time to be growing up!

Mid September I always think of this song

This show is magic.

Great time to have been a kid!! I miss the 90’s! ❤️💯

My sons born in October ..just showed him the Halloweenie episode and he loves it..this song had a was different meaning in 2020

Probably the best Polaris song. Sweet melodies, killer harmonies, that guitar sounds so jangly and perfect.

This is probably the most 90s alt rock song of all time. When heroin won't cut it and I'm fed up with Smashing Pumpkins and REM, I mainline Polaris. Just let that subtle guitar riff scratch your mind and you are good to go... to October. Next up, Summerbaby, or even better, the Pete & Pete Theme Song. I love the fact that this is a quasi fictional band that produced a real album for the show and really toured. Awesome.

Halloweenie is my favorite Pete and Pete episode and this song is so awesome in every way, I never thought I'd ever feel nostalgia for the 90's but I guess there were some goods things about that time.

Waiting for October myself. I'm tired of this hot summer weather.

of all the examples of "peak" 90's culture that couldn't exist again (all the ubiquitous angst, existential crisis, innuendo and cigarettes) the lyrics in this bittersweet ditty are so charismatically mumbled, no one thinks twice about the "daddy's taking off his belt" line being in a kids show haha... fun, nostalgic video, good job 👍🏻

Such an underrated band, miss this show so much.

90s were amazing 🥲

"heh heh, I'm cool, I'm one of the 7 who disliked a Pete and Pete music video" - said NO ONE EVER

Awesome video of an awesome song, with perfect clips from an episode that coincidentally is both one of the best Halloween specials I have ever seen in my life, and one of the best general episodes of one of the greatest shows Nickelodeon has ever made.

Ready as hell for spring, but I'm also waiting for October :) as an east coaster, holy hell this is an amazing month around here. Then it goes to shit with seasonal depression in November, but at least we get that dream of a month before.

Oversize black turtleneck, Petunia tattoo on the forearm, Red plaid hunting cap + red wig = Lil Pete Wrigley Halloween Costume. Now all you have to do is wait for October.

Such a nostalgia dose!

This was one big hit off the nostalgia bong; I think I might pass out.

fall always makes me feel all nostalgic and warm inside..

Great edit

I dont think I was suppose to stay awake this many hours, but this video is so pretty...

"And that's when human history will die. … 'Cause it all ends in 1999 and commences on the 28th." Happy 20th anniversary of the death of human history!

Any Pete and Pete fans know that the movie Snow Day was originally written to be the finale of the Pete and Pete story? However by the time they had the project greenlit, Mike and Danny aged out of their roles, so they had to rewrite the script to be a stand alone movie. The creators, Chris and Will, said this was the biggest regret of their careers.

MORE Please!

brightened by day. thanks!

If anyone from Nick Reboot is watching this right now, then RIP Nick Reboot 2012-2015

This is so amazing 😍

Awesome video. I was in high school when P and P was on but still loved it but I never saw Halloweenie until two days ago ! I am a Halloween freak and think Halloweenie is the best Halloween episode ever ! Tonmorow I will be boardibg my windows to keep zombies out. Oct is finally here !

It's October!

£🎯£ @ the end , "what'd ya expect , Mr Tasty ?!?!!"

Happy Halloween!

11 days left.

Krebscouts for life!

Polaris may be as fake as it wants, this band is what got me into friggin' Punk Rock.

Damn. Good editing. Seriously.

Goin' my way, Halloweenie!? 🎃

The theme of this song has nothing to do with Halloween but really more about nuclear war. Just carefully listen and comprehend the lyrics and notice the explosion at the very end. Great song though!

All four of the Pumpkin Eters disliked this.

Curiously, I've never seen the series but I still freaking love the soundtrack

Great song, great show, great video.

October 2020. Waiting for October.

I'm waiting for October, November, and December.

If you told us back then that our future would suck this bad, we wouldn't have believed you... maybe a toxic wasteland or a bombed out desert, sure, but this?!

La veía en los 90,s estaba matona
