Shut Up! - Simple Plan

Simple Plan – “Shut Up!”
Lava Records; 2004
2.1/10

If teen angst were a currency, Simple Plan would be Canada’s largest export. And “Shut Up!” is perhaps their most shrill, sugar-coated contribution to the pop-punk economy: a three-minute tantrum in skinny jeans, flung onto CD like a Hot Topic receipt someone refused to recycle.

Released in 2004, a golden era when every mall had at least one screaming adolescent with gelled hair and an authority complex, “Shut Up!” captures the essence of adolescent rage with all the nuance of a fire alarm taped to a skateboard. It’s not a song—it’s an eye roll set to power chords.

Frontman Pierre Bouvier delivers each line like he’s been grounded for the weekend and just discovered Linkin Park exists. “Don’t tell me who to be!” he cries, in the tone of someone who just got told to take their shoes off in the house. It’s an anthem for misunderstood kids everywhere—by which we mean, mostly kids who got a B in maths and think that counts as oppression.

Musically, it’s the equivalent of punching drywall after being asked to do the dishes. The guitars chug dutifully, the drums go “boom-boom-tap,” and somewhere in the background, the ghost of Green Day sheds a single tear. There’s an attempt at a bridge that sounds like it was written in the back of a maths book, and it ends—mercifully—with more shouting. It's unclear whether the listener is supposed to feel empowered or just relieved it's over.

Lyrically, it’s as if every line was workshopped in an MSN chat room. “Just shut your mouth / Who do you think you are?” asks Pierre, clearly directing his ire at a very rude parent, teacher, or perhaps the concept of adulthood itself. It’s emotional depth, brought to you by a packet of Sour Skittles and a half-watched episode of Degrassi.

Still, “Shut Up!” did serve a noble purpose: it was the soundtrack to at least a dozen bedroom door slams per suburban household. And in that sense, it’s historically significant—if only to warn future generations of what happens when you give a Fender and a recording budget to five dudes who just really hate being told what to do.

Best Lyric: “There you go / You never ask why” — bold of them to claim introspection in a song called “Shut Up!”
Worst Lyric: “Don’t tell me how to live!” — accidentally sums up the entire album.
File Next To: Broken skateboards, discarded diary entries, and that hoodie you wore every day in Year 10.
RIYL: Thinking the world doesn’t understand you (it probably does, and it’s fine).

This is 1001 Songs That Make You Want to Die, the podcast where we talk about songs so bad. It makes you want to take Lego brand new from a box, put it into the microwave, melt the blocks down until it is molten magma, then take it out and try and follow the instructions and make the thing from the Lego instructions, but it's melting your fingers away while you do it.

06:18.60
Bevo
yeah

06:20.54
gav
It's a strange...

06:20.71
Chibbs
It's what time is Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on? I think it's on at 8 o'clock on 9.

06:45.60
Mad Dog
Yeah, that's all right.

06:46.05
Chibbs
Yeah.

06:46.80
gav
I'm confused about the critique here. You think you know what everyone needs. That's such a weird thing to be mad at someone about.

06:54.13
Chibbs
You're too selfless. Yeah.

06:55.69
gav
Yeah, you're always trying to establish the needs of others, you fuck.

Chibbs
Mother Teresa, you stupid bitch.

07:02.53
gav
yeah Mother Teresa was a stupid bitch.

07:08.03
Bevo
Yeah. all like All I'm reading here is that someone's got very good intentions for the protagonist of the song.

07:13.08
gav
Yeah, that's what I'm reading too.

07:13.62
Chibbs
Yeah, yeah.

07:14.68
gav
is yeah You always take time to criticise me.

07:15.81
Chibbs
You looked cold. i went and got you a

07:17.34
gav
Yeah.

07:19.24
Bevo
Here's how this song could be slightly better.

07:21.79
gav
yeah

07:26.21
Chibbs
You've taken time to criticise me as well.

07:28.47
gav
Yeah, they've taken time out of their day to give you some constructive feedback.

07:28.49
Chibbs
It's like...

07:30.62
Mad Dog
I can tie it.

07:31.37
Bevo
Yeah.

07:31.43
Chibbs
I imagine like he sort of walked to the living room, but she was in there just having like a cup of tea with a friend and she went, ah sorry, sorry, one second. um I don't like your shorts.

07:42.96
gav
LAUGHTER LAUGHTER

07:43.80
Chibbs
Anyway, yeah back to the conversation.

07:45.91
Bevo
Or he's finished his show and he's like, are doing a little meet and greet after the show? But um just before that, I'll just need to talk to the singer from Simple Plan and just give him a few tips on how he could improve.

07:54.83
gav
yeah

07:59.52
Chibbs
um And, you know, it's that's time I'm taking out of my day.

08:04.64
Mad Dog
yeah

08:04.92
gav
yeah yeah spending their time yeah and i respect it

08:05.35
Bevo
Selfless.

08:05.96
Chibbs
Yeah.

08:06.79
Bevo
Selfless, completely selfless.

08:08.95
Chibbs
The pre-chorus goes, no fault.

08:10.84
Bevo
No faults here. Yeah.

08:13.36
Chibbs
It seems like every day i make mistakes. I just can't get it right. It's like I'm the one you love to hate, but not today.

08:23.66
gav
ah so he's fucking it up then he is fucking it up

08:25.88
Bevo
Yeah, well, okay.

08:26.24
Chibbs
He's a fucker. He's a fucker.

08:27.97
Bevo
So, yes, he does he does need constructive criticism because every day he's making mistakes.

08:28.04
Chibbs
yeah the criticism is is yeah

08:32.88
Bevo
He admits it himself.

08:33.31
Chibbs
Yeah.

08:34.32
gav
Yeah, I just can't get it right.

08:34.31
Chibbs
Yeah. He's putting the remote. He puts the remote in the fridge. he fucking, you know, it's like, yeah.

08:38.58
gav
yeah He pisses in the microwave again.

08:41.16
Chibbs
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

08:42.88
Bevo
Yeah.

08:42.82
Chibbs
Shit his pants.

08:45.11
gav
yeah

08:46.99
Chibbs
Always making mistakes.

08:50.88
Chibbs
It's just like you're fucking 28. Stop shitting yourself.

08:54.90
gav
ah ah

08:56.52
Chibbs
It's not criticism. It's not. Just fucking stop it.

09:00.39
gav
Have you seen that each, um eat the verse and the pre-chorus both are fully annotated? Like someone's highlighted the entirety of the verse and made it one annotation.

09:08.34
Chibbs
What are they saying? What's the annotation?

09:11.28
gav
So the annotation is longer than the entire verse.

09:15.38
Chibbs
that's a shame.

09:16.34
gav
It just says, there is always a person who can never tell you anything positive about whether teacher, peer, and on haters or even friends and family. They just have to put you down so they seem better to others and they have the spotlight.

09:31.31
Chibbs
think that's the right annotation.

09:32.40
gav
That's not a valid annotation.

09:33.32
Chibbs
I don't think that's valid.

09:33.92
gav
No. Yeah,

09:34.36
Chibbs
I don't think they are saying that they're always putting them down. It's just like, you know, from time to time, he's always fucking up and the person is just making some pointers.

09:46.21
Bevo
good intentions. Good. Yeah.

09:48.23
Chibbs
Like, yeah.

09:50.22
Bevo
I'm going to, yeah, let's.

09:50.32
gav
yeah it's...

09:50.45
Chibbs
um If you start to feel pressure building up around the anus, it might be time to go to the bathroom.

09:54.84
Mad Dog
you

09:55.78
gav
yeah

09:58.60
Bevo
Is that the official position of the podcast? Is that the, uh, the singer is wrong. Yeah.

10:04.74
gav
Yeah, the singer's wrong.

10:05.97
Bevo
Yeah.

10:06.35
Chibbs
See, it's wrong. It doesn't seem like it's that.

10:07.31
Bevo
Hmm.

10:08.05
Chibbs
It's not that bad. It wasn't like, um like, Will.i.am in Shut Up by by the Black Eyed Peas.

10:12.97
Bevo
Well, he said himself that he's, yeah, he said himself that he makes mistakes and can't get it right. So it's only fair that someone give him help.

10:18.59
gav
Yeah, yeah.

10:21.87
Chibbs
Correct.

10:22.45
gav
I feel like we've all probably been in a position where you work with someone where you're just like, fuck. Like, how many how many work experience kids did you have, Bevo, where you were just like, oh, fuck, can you just get one thing right today, please?

10:34.12
gav
Like...

10:34.19
Bevo
Yeah. My, my, my position on work experience kids is don't make it harder.

10:35.00
Mad Dog
Yeah.

10:39.49
Bevo
You're here to help me make things easier. So if I'm doing your work and my work, it makes it harder for everybody.

10:46.85
gav
See, you're speaking yeah like a man who's been spurned by many a many a work experience kid.

10:50.93
Mad Dog
yeah

10:52.52
gav
And i I think that this song should resonate.

10:53.87
Bevo
Listen here, kid, we're going to make a bargain bin. We're going make a bargain bin of cheap stuff.

10:56.70
gav
And imagine that kid going home

10:58.43
Bevo
What's what's that? Throw everything in the bin. No.

11:02.11
gav
ah and imagine that kid going home being like, yeah, that Bevo's a real dick.

11:02.92
Bevo
no

11:06.96
gav
He's always criticizing me every day.

11:07.56
Mad Dog

This company's weird. They're making me throw all their stock in the bin.

11:42.38
Chibbs
And then they'd have to go on their lunch break and end up over in my office where I was listening to podcasts about the East Bay rapist.

11:49.79
gav
but ah

11:50.09
Chibbs
Yeah.

11:52.36

12:13.17
Chibbs

Sitting there on my lunch break, eating it like a cold ham sandwich, listening about just the grimmest fucking shit.

Chibbs

12:29.10
gav
And then just having you to walk back in the shop and be like, hey guys, how we doing today? And in my head, it's just like... Cunts getting their toes ripped off with pliers while they're screaming and begging to see their families.

12:37.93
Chibbs
yeah

12:40.25
gav
It's like, fucking hell. And that's just Chibs.

12:44.65
Chibbs
It's a good way to fertilise fate.

Chibs finished that episode and just immediately played another one after it that was just as bad and did that all fucking day.

12:48.36
Chibbs

gav
was going to say, usually we manage to nail it down, but this is so there's just not much in the lyrics.

21:35.45

it

21:38.19
Bevo
yeah it's it's It's Cranky Dad.
