It's a semi-phonetic version of"303," the area code of Boulder, Colorado, which is where these two crunk busters happen to be from.

Disgrace to the city, which is quite nice. I grew up there.

Thats okay, your state was the birthing ground for my step dad (who's amazing) and me (I'm alright). either way we kind of of even it out.

Ohio appoligizes for Hit The Lights. Even though if you were forced to listen to one of those bands that one would cause the least amount of pain, we're still sorry.

I remember when I first found 3OH3!, before they got huge on Warped, I thought they were a joke band from SNL or something.

Oh my, is this a proof of how shitty the comments has become on here or what?

I mean, look at these fucking bands, the headliners hit song has the chorus:
Don't ever trust a ho/Never trust a ho/Don't trust me.

Come on guys, this was hilarity waiting to happen and you totally dropped the ball.

I feel it must be said again:
Colorado apologizes for 3OH!3.

I always knew I hated 3OH!3, but I could at least stand them until about this time last year, when the fakest, douchiest bitch I've ever known tried to tell me how great they were and was sooooo pumped to go see them in Boulder.

If they just made beats it might be ok, but they went and added lyrics and confirmed how fucking shitty they were.

The same day I wrote this, 3OH!3 brought out the ball during the opening of the Nuggets game that night. I was forced to LOL and shoot myself in the thigh.
