The Offspring es una banda estadounidense de punk rock que ha dejado una marca imborrable en la escena musical desde su formación en Garden Grove, California, en 1984. Los miembros fundadores, Dexter Holland (vocalista y guitarrista) y Greg K. (bajista), formaron el grupo inicialmente bajo el nombre de Manic Subsidal antes de adoptar el nombre que les llevaría a la fama.
En sus primeros años, la alineación de la banda experimentó varios cambios, pero la llegada del guitarrista Noodles (Kevin Wasserman) y el baterista Ron Welty en 1987 consolidó el núcleo clásico de la banda. Entre 1989 y 1991, The Offspring lanzó sus primeras grabaciones independientes, incluyendo su álbum debut homónimo, que brindó un destello de lo que estaba por venir.
El verdadero éxito para The Offspring llegó en 1994 con el lanzamiento de su álbum Smash.

Temas como "Come Out and Play", "Self Esteem" y "Gotta Get Away" se convirtieron en himnos del punk de los 90.

Cruising California Song Lyrics
Cruising California by Offspring Hey ho, let's go
(Go go go! ) turn up the beat, yeah
(Oh oh oh! ) I wanna feel it
(California) don't you wish that you could come
Cause we're never going home till the summer's all gone
Summer time, living's easy
Cruising, bumping, my huntington beach
Cause the sun will shine
We have a good time
They all line up for a bump and grind
And the girl that you want is directly out in front
And she's waving her caboose at you
You sneeze achoo
She calls you out and boom!
I know you heard that bass bumpin' in my trunk
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk, bum-bumpin' in my trunk (oh yeah)
I know you heard that bass bumpin' in my trunk (uh huh)
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (uh huh), bum-bumpin' in my trunk (let's go)
(Go go go! ) turn up the beat, yeah
(Oh oh oh! ) I wanna feel it
(California) don't you wish that you could come
Cause we're never going home till the summer's all gone
The sun goes down, the friepit's leep
It's another summer night here in the oc
Well I know a baller but I do have an impala
And I might say 'hey' but I'll never say 'holla'
The girl with the glass and a g-string just like a floss
Well she's waving her caboose at you
I bet you do
She calls you out (uh huh)
I know you heard that bass bumpin' in my trunk (uh huh)
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (uh huh), bum-bumpin' in my trunk (bump that truck)
I know you heard that bass bumpin' in my trunk (uh huh)
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (uh huh) bum-bumpin' in my trunk (let's go)
(Go go go! ) turn up the beat, yeah
(Oh oh oh! ) I wanna feel it
(California) don't you wish that you could come
With the radio on, plays it all summer long
(Go go go! ) you're all I'm breakin'
(Oh oh oh! ) my friends are drinkin'
(California) don't you wish that you could come
Cause we're never going home till the summer's all gone
(California)
(California)
I know you heard that bass bumpin' in my trunk (uh huh)
Bum-bumpin' in my trunk (uh huh), bum-bumpin' in my trunk (hey ho, let's
Go)
(Go go go! ) turn up the beat, yeah
(Oh oh oh! ) I wanna feel it
(California) don't you wish that you could come
With the radio on, plays it all summer long
(Go go go! ) you're all I'm breakin'
(Oh oh oh! ) my friends are drinkin'
(California) don't you wish that you could come
Cause we're never going home till the summer's all gone
(California) don't you wish that you could come
Cause we're never going home till the summer's all gone
