Release of A Hangover You Don’t Deserve

A Hangover You Don’t Deserve was released on September 14, 2004, and has become the band’s only Top 40 album. Sales of the album were driven in large part by the radio airplay of the single ” 1985 “, a song written by Mitch Allan of SR-71 and covered by Bowling For Soup with his permission. Bowling for Soup did make some modifications to the lyrics to better fit their style with Mitch Allan , lead vocalist of SR-71, contributed backing vocals to the song and appeared in the music video. “1985” became Bowling for Soup’s biggest hit in the U.S., reaching No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 . A second single from A Hangover You Don’t Deserve , ” Almost “, charted on the UK Singles Chart , No. 46 on the U.S. Top 100, and No. 23 on U.S. Pop 100. ” Ohio “, better known as “Come Back to Texas”, was released as a radio single in the U.S., but was not as popular as “1985” or “Almost”, reaching only No. 59 on the U.S. Pop 100.
