"Boys of Summer" was originally a song by Don Henley (The Eagles). The Ataris re-did it, and the two versions sound very similar (although I like the Ataris' version better).

Answer: "Your Boyfriend Sucks"

This is also from "Blue Skies, Broken Hearts, Next Twelve Exits". This is one of my favorites- a song to sing when you want a girl that's already taken by someone who treats her poorly and she doesn't realize it.

20. "--- --- again today. The flowers that I gave to you have withered all away."

From Quiz "Blue Skies" for all Ataris fans
