Screeching Weasel es una banda de punk rock formada en Chicago, Illinois, en el año 1986 por Ben Weasel y John Jughead. La banda, tras varias rupturas, anunció en 2004 su retirada después de lanzar 11 álbumes de estudio en su carrera.
Se les considera los precursores del punk pop que volvió a gozar del auge a comienzos de la década de los 90, especialmente en California. Algunas bandas que protagonizaron ese auge como Green Day y blink-182, y otras como The All-American Rejects, citan a Screeching entre sus influencias principales.

A(pm) That thing you're listening to is called a compact disc D(pm) A(pm) It's a method of conveying sound, it's square outside, inside it's round A(pm) That thing you're listening to is a digitally accurate D(pm) A(pm) Reading of the numbers that make up different sounds in fact E It's the most technologically advanced F#D Sound reproduction known to man A E (w/ slides up from D#) At least in the commercially viable sense A(pm) That thing you're listening to is called a compact disc D(pm) A(pm) Every subtle nuance of a tune is made available to you A(pm) That thing you're listening to is a high-tech dream come true D(pm) A(pm) Technically it works with laser beams yet you can learn to use it easily EF# Throw your scratched, dusty records in the trash DA It's time to move out of the past E (w/ slides up from D#) In the profit analysis sense

A That thing you're listening to is called a waste of time DA An inferior and overpriced product of an underactive mind A That thing you're listening to is a multi-flawed industry scam D Devoid of any thought or heart at all A It's the antithesis of rock and roll E But no one cares that a record sounds better F#DA Cause you just can't buy them so it just doesn't matter at all E (w/ slides up from D#) And that's common sense
