Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Teenage Dirtbag" is Wheatus's signature song, a loser anthem about a metalhead who listens to Iron Maiden that was suitably featured in the 2000 teen rom-com Loser. Wheatus formed in Newport, New York in 1995—steered by Brendan B. Brown and his brother, Pete Brown—and released their debut self-titled album in 2000. "Teenage Dirtbag" was delivered as the LP's first single and the track struck gold in the UK, where it peaked at number two, also becoming a hit in Australia while making itself known in the US largely thanks to various movie and TV appearances. Over two decades after the alternative classic first hit the shelves, "Teenage Dirtbag" was given a zoomer-led new lease of life when it was adopted as a trend on TikTok in 2022, with users uploading teenage photos of themselves backed by a sped-up version of "Teenage Dirtbag." In October 2023, Wheatus gave "Teenage Dirtbag" a festive makeover and released the track "Christmas Dirtbag."
