Yearlong Song Challenge, Day 79: Maeve

Prompt: "A song about a divorce"

Selected by Maeve


"Stay Together for the Kids"
blink-182
Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, 2001

This song was released in 2001. Who would have thought that 23 years later, Travis Barker would be an important cast member on a reality TV show about one of the most famous families (like it or not, I feel like this is pretty inarguable)? Actually, here's a sentence about the third season Hulu premiere that would probably be an even more jarring statement in 2001, if not just confusing:

When Travis flies back from his overseas concert tour for the baby shower of his child with Kourtney Kardashian, he brings COVID along with him, but the over-the-top Disney World-themed party still goes on!

This has always been my favorite blink-182 song, but after reading your description of it, I will have to be honest and say that it is now my least favorite blink-182 song.

What a terrible day to have eyes.

Meanwhile, Tom DeLonge and Kylie Jenner have to hide their alien friend, Seti, from the U.S. government by throwing the best President's Day bash ever!

That statement further proves my theory that they always knew Kourtney and Travis had covid and they were always going to have the party. The unhinged Disney adult themed baby shower for their baby named ROCKY. God I love that show.
