"What's My Age Again?" is one of Blink-182's most famous hits. It was their breakthrough song in Australia and the United Kingdom, and reached the top 20 in 1999. It reached the top 10 in the charts when it was re-released in 2000, following the release of "All the Small Things". The song is featured on the MCA Records release Enema of the State.
Tom DeLonge said of the title, "The song originally was called "Peter Pan Complex" but the label didn’t want us to call it that because they thought people wouldn’t get it. It was one of those things that, later, we got pissed about because we felt we should have left it called that."[citation needed]
The song was played also in the series "Two Guys and a Girl" (second episode of season 3).
Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine covered this song on his 2000 debut album "Lounge Against the Machine".

[edit] Music video
The music video (released in 1999) was directed by Marcos Siega and involves the band running through the streets naked; they run through television shows, do some dances, and attract a lot of attention. The band members were in fact, naked. except when Mark runs past the young girl. (he's wearing Speedos. It was comically censored throughout the video (The Fox sitcom, That '70s Show uses the same technique in some scenes). Porn star Janine Lindemulder is featured in the video.
[edit] Trivia
- During live shows, Mark often changed the lyrics from "What's my age, again?" to "Where's my asian friend?".
- Tom Delonge also tells the crowd at live shows that the next song is "really hard to play" and, jokingly, not to listen to him or to shut up so he can play. Most notably, in their live album The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!).
