T.S.O.L. - Code Blue | Reaction 

Huge shout out to Jack Grisham of TSOL. Thank you for sharing our reaction.

I love how punk still shocks people almost 50 years after it's birth.

I like the fact that when he said punk he knew he needed to pay attention to the lyrics.

I remember cracking up when I first heard this song over 30 years ago. When I saw them live about 20 years ago Jack Grisham, the singer, let me sing part of this song on stage. Some of the most fun I have ever had at a show!

Here from Jack’s post on FB. Lmaoooo this is punk rock baby 🤘🏼

Everyone come to this video with a grin, knowing what is coming. This song was written when they were I'm like high-school. It's tongue and cheek. But don't give on T.S.O.L. -- listen to Abolish Government/Silent Majority. No tricks, all treats. Straight forward political punk. They are awesome live.

This song is meant to shock & it’s done it’s job for over 40 years!! Y’all should check out the rest of the record!

One of the best of albums from 1981

JACK is proud! Now we have two new TSOL fans for life! Buy the dance with me album now!

Your reactions went exactly how I expected…he was laughing at the absurdity and she was offended by the crassness. Perfect! I subscribed to your channel because of that honesty! This 1981 album, Dance with Me, by TSOL was the first record I ever bought with my own money back in ’84, I had just turned 13 yrs old. The musicianship of this band (Ron Emory is possibly the best guitarist from the 80’s era of punk) and the quality of the recording of this record allow it to hold up to this day. Code Blue itself is a whatever silly shock song, but like others have said in these comments, there are amazing songs on this record, the title track itself being my fav.

y'all are adorable. I love how game he was and how diplomatic she was.

True sounds of liberty

Punk rock is MEANT to offend. It did it’s job

dying! Saw TSOL open for the Damned a few Halloweens ago! Great show!

Gotta love TSOL. The shock value alone on this song made the reaction worth a watch. Great dudes though. I showed up early to their gigs once when they toured in my area, and help them load gear in...so they put me n the guest list! 10/10 would see them again. And like others are saying please explore more of their catalogue for deeper meaning in the songs lol

This year I started work at a new company. The boss is kinda a laid back dude, really into music, collects CDs and vinyl, listens to lots of different stuff, mostly 80's synthpop, but won't shy away from the occasional metal, rap, rock, whatever. He invites us to bring our music in to play at work. One coworker brought The Stranglers and the Talking Heads, so there was a nice vibe for some new wave goin' on. This one time I brought "Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols". Not the heaviest and most brutal of albums, right? Also kind of an entry point to punk, great production and great riffs, a great album. So he puts it on, goes about his business, and then halfway through he turns it off saying he was just shocked and couldn't focus at work. Like, seriously, The Sex Pistols made him unable to proceed with his day. This 40+ year old album shook this dude to his core, and we're talking about living in a world where heavier music (both musically and lyrically) is the norm. It's not even about the lyrics either, I live in Poland and my boss doesn't speak good English. It's just something about the band, the combination of these particular elements, that made him unseasy. Another time I brought "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" by the Dead Kennedys. He didn't stop it halfway, but also appeared uneasy, like he couldn't comprehend what he just heard. Usually after playing our personal albums that we bring to work, we have casual conversations about whether we liked them or not, etc. This time - dead silence, and he just switched over to the radio. So yeah, even after all those years there are still some people who are baffled and bamboozled when they hear good ol' punk.

😹😹😹 This is hilarious But I highly suggest you listen to the rest of this album!! Don’t judge off one song, this band has been around since the 80s and still continue to make new albums and have amazing live shows! Also make sure to look up the short story film to this song, Code Blue A Love Story

This is a perfect real-life example of that "there are two types of people" meme XD

The whole point of the song is that the high school girls were such a pain, that he’d rather go f a corpse, not that he’s into grave robbing for action!

Few things in this world are perfect and "Code Blue" is one of them.

I am 39, heard this when I was 14 (of punk o rama 2) - I thought I was doing something wrong when I listened to this. Opened the door to T.S.O.L - especially change today, black magic is one of my favourites! - I love this can do this still! Leave a grown man speechless laughing without sound, in shock that someone would do this, and his partner who can't listen further - Try again in a few years, sure the shock may have worn off!

priceless!! 😂 the song worked just as planned. she will never ever forget it!

Please, do not judge based on their ONLY shock lyric. Jack's kinda a Christian as am I. Code Blue was meant to offend, like most horror movies.

You said you'd give TSOL another shot so you've earned a subscribe. Jack is one of my all time heroes.

Okay so I ended up finding this because the band shared the video. And while I agree the song is crass (I mean it's 80s punk rock and it's also death rock at the same time, of course it'll be out there) I wouldn't say this song is super representative of the album (even though I do love this song, it's just super over the top). I can highly recommend trying out the other songs, even if it's not a reaction. The triangle is super good, dance with me (the song is great) and silent scream (which honestly is a better pick for a Halloween reaction) to me is a classic Halloween song. Please do check out the rest of the album even if this song wasn't for you

One of the most memorable shows I ever went to was TSOL in LA in 1985. And your reaction about the "Halloween request" is fucking hilarious, man!

First song i ever learned on guitar

You weren't ready for this!

You guys had me laughing my buns off. Saw TSOL in the 80s. Good stuff.

TSOL! The greats of punk rock! That girl doesnt get it at aalllll!!! LOL

The Best Album Ever for a 14 year old. I LOVE THIS GENRE 👍🏼👍🏼

True story, I hooked up with jacks daughter for a while because I use to be best friends with his nephew dylan, whose dad became tsol new lead singer. Trip haha

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA "this is kind of disrespectful"Same thing my gf told me in high school in the 80's when i played it for her.

lol never thought I would see this reaction

TSOL brought me here. I enjoyed this reaction haha 🖤 Subscribed.

Only here cause I was listening to the band and this came up. This is fucking hilarious! You guys were so down at first!😂

Ha! grew up listening to these guys, and your reactions were on par with a lot of people I went to school with back in the late 80's 90's. Good to know these guys still shockin brains, I love it

This song is such a fucking classic I miss real punk rock. TSOL is fucking gold. Your reactions were priceless 🤣

I LOVE this review! I first heard this song in high school, it's definitely over the top but the band is great. I love your channel, you guys have a blast with all the songs you review!

I just found thi searching for a Slowed Revered Edition! Throw back, this reaction was adorable

Such a great song, I love Punk so much. So many good metaphors, you don’t get that anymore with today’s music.

This is one of their most popular songs they play it all the time, it's sarcastic. They have better first impressions like Abolish Government/Silent Majority & WW3.

Y'all are weak. That song is hilarious!

One of my favorite songs by them!

Probably one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long time. She's a trooper.

Up next should be “last caress” by the Misfits!

I subscribed just because of this reaction and the fact that one of your comments in this thread said you would give T.S.O.L. another shot. Come to find out, you guys have been reacting to punk songs for awhile. I can't wait to dive in!

That Was some funny ass shit !!! I grew up screaming this out the car window @ 16. Thanks

"We're going to have to pay attention to the lyrics" >:)

Hahahaha come on!! You have to love some T.S.O.L. Such a great song to ease them into it haha

Luv y'all and your grrrl's reaction to "Code Blue" priceless!

That's Punk fer ya'!😂

Thumbs up... This is fantastic...I bet WAP is much better for a reaction? I was playing this song on my record player in 1981. My mom heard it and says: "what the hell is this, the singer sounds like Elvis".... LOL

I was 13 the first time I heard this song. It changed my life.

I was in a band in early 2000s we use to cover this song. Reactions were amazing

I heard this on a punk-o-rama cd that hit me in the head at warped ‘98 What a cool bass line

great song great band.

I've heard them and seen them when I was in my early teens. I'm 35 now... i still remember and miss those days..love it

I remember in high school when my best friend showed me this song in our statistics class and I laughed my ass off 🤣🤣🤣

I'm 55 years old from Australia .. . .. TSOL was my inspiration to play in stage bands

Found this vid through a Fat Wreck Chords post. If anything, it’s def gonna draw a diverse crowd to this RU-vid channel! Lol #PunkFuckingRock

Big shout out to JACK.....True Sounds of Liberty........Legends....I never miss a show.....🎤🎸🔥👊🙏

I haven't heard this in forever!! My first TSOL album was Dance With Me. Has this song on it. Great album!! I can suggest another Halloween punk band. Misfits. Or Samhain

Punk is Life!!!

Used to love this song when I was like 13. It was on the Punk O Rama Vol 2 CD. The song was already 15 years old by the time I found it as a kid... Glad to see its still making a splash lol

Their album Beneath The Shadows has zero offensive material and a lot of great melodic songs.

!!! I was listening to this album this morning! Then The Cramps. Then The Gits. Y'all are fun.

Yeah, it takes a lot to get through CODE BLUE. Try Flowers By The Door also by T.S.O.L., off of the album Change Today. The lead singer is different also. It is my favorite T.S.O.L. song

You guys have to check out the rest of this album. This song was just some dark humor.

So that means we are going to have to pay attention to the lyrics.

I played this at a construction site once. The guy I was working with was like “WHAT IS THIS? THIS IS WARPED” also I’m still interested in seeing a Leftover Crack Reaction xD

You are the only reactors who have heard them. One of my favorite albums. Did Tasha blush?

Hahaha. You chose a great song for a reaction

Lol loved the reaction....

I loved this since age 9. Necromancy lmao

Smart man. Didnt even defend the song even though he wanted to. Ha ha ha ha ha. TSOL are the shit dude!

I can totally understand your wife's problem with this track its a stomach turner . Although keeping mind the original target demographic was the alianted males sophmoric from 13 years to 25 years in Orange County CA home of Ultra Violent punk rock no chick's liked this song .

Great song ... I had that album in the 80s Yalls reaction made me laugh

this was the funniest shit ever 😆 great video 👍🏽

The song is 40 years old. And it still rocks. It is probably the most famous song of tsol. He has also written a couple of books. And he made a short film based on this song. He is very talented.

Best reaction ever!!!!

It was the early eighties all over again with my mom beating on my bedroom door… “No one is fucking the dead in THIS house!!”🤣🤣

Keep in mind, it's 40 years old. Back when drinking and driving was no big deal 🤯

1:21 is PRICELESS

I love True Sound, seen them a couple times in the Siouxer & it was great every time. Slayer does a cover of superficial love. & for whatever reason I now wanna listen to The Humpers.

I like punk rock for its frankness. and Tsol is a good example. Abolish Government, this is your life, his album change today in particular...

Going to see TSOL in concert tomorrow night!!! They’ll be playing this song 🥰🖤

It's a joke song. The dead don't get offended. That's the point.

True Sounds Of Liberty

I vaguely remember a TSOL song i used to hear back in the 80's. I really wish i knew the name of it. I do remember just a little bit of the lyrics because they really hit home for me as a teenager. Anyway, the only part of the lyric i remember is something about daddy selling the farm to buy a bottle? Maybe somebody here can help me out with that? Thanks either way.

Always good to see new people discovering TSOL!

TRUE SOUNDS OF LIBERTY

Aw... poor baby. The song is 50 years old.

TSOL were actually part of a sub-genre of punk known as "Death Rock," which was essentially the American version of Gothic rock. Other bands in the genre included 45 Grave and Christian Death.

Music has layers, and if this shocks you, it worked.

This reaction is priceless

TRUE SOUNDS OF LIBERTY

LUL girl welcome to punk rock. This was written to shock and offend.

Think of this song as an X-rated version of Nobody Likes Me, Everybody Hates Me, I Think I'll Go Out & Eat Worms.

Yeah those last 10 seconds were extra disrespectful lmao
