About Chick Magnet

"Chick Magnet" is an MxPx single released in 1996. It was released for the album Life in General, but there is a live, acoustic version on Move to Bremerton, a demo version on Let It Happen, a live version on At the Show, and a remastered version on Ten Years and Running, making it the most-released MxPx song. The song is easily recognizable from its vocal bass solo, which was featured as the background music of the official MxPx website during the late 1990s and early 2000s when the site's appearance was a garage. The "Dude, you a mad chick magnet," line from the intro of the song is taken from the movie Mallrats and is spoken by the character Jay. The song is played during a scene in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. The CD single has two b-sides, a cover of the old jazz song "Blue Moon" and an early version of "Educated Guess", which would later become the sixth track of the album "The Ever Passing Moment".

Well he's a chick magnet  if ya know what I mean 
The way the girlies just go to him 
Well ya should've seen 
the guy yeah  he's got style and it's plain to see 
Smooth shoes and cool tattoos 
Hair pomped as tight as can be 
He ain't got a girlfriend 
No one to sing this song to 
He's gotta settle down 
If he meets that special girl soon 
He knows just what to do 
When it comes to the girls 
He writes them poetry 
And he picks them flowers 
He knows just what to say 
When it comes to the ladies 
Knows how to make a girl smile 
How to drive a girl crazy
