Family Reunion (song)

"Family Reunion" is a 35 second song by blink-182 consisting mostly of profanity. Clearly inspired by the 10 word version of George Carlin's Seven Words You Can Never Say, the band has been playing the song since their Cheshire Cat days.
The song was recorded in the studio for Short Music for Short People, an album released in 1999 for Fat Wreck Chords and appears on the band's live album, released in 2000, The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show: The Enema Strikes Back. This song is also one of their most played songs on their shows, played on almost every show.
The only words that are not 'profanities' are 'and', 'my', 'too', 'I', 'your', 'dad', 'momma', and the entire last line; although in some circles the words 'fart', 'suck' and 'turd' may only be considered minorly offensive and not actual profanities.
In the live version, the final line is replaced with Tom and Mark saying "I fucked your mom".
