That’s an amazing album. I was just listening to it today.
Header got cut off for me; full quote for anyone else it happened to.
DeVoe sat in the control room and quietly listened to the recordings, and pressed the band at the end on why there was no "Blink-182 good-time summer anthem [thing]". DeLonge and Hoppus were furious, remarking, "You want a fucking single? I'll write you the cheesiest, catchiest, throwaway fucking summertime single you've ever heard!"[1][5] Hoppus went home and wrote "The Rock Show" in ten minutes, and DeLonge similarly wrote "First Date", which became the most successful singles from the record and future live staples.[4]
Damn, I was hoping the actual quote was "I'll write you the cheesies"
“… cheddar, Swiss, munster, brie…”
