The single is available through Concord Records and arrives with an official video released by the band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new recording retains the vocals, central riff and chorus of the original song while replacing much of its punk foundation with electronic percussion and elements associated with contemporary Latin music. It connects two eras separated by nearly three decades: The Offspring\u2019s international breakthrough during MTV\u2019s commercial peak and the current rise of producers crossing electronic music, hip-hop and Mexican sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"The Offspring - Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) (8onthebeat Mix)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j_lnNr55mdk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"The Offspring - Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) (8onthebeat Mix)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j_lnNr55mdk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">\u201cPretty Fly (For a White Guy)\u201d was released on November 9, 1998, eight days before Americana. Written by Dexter Holland and produced by Dave Jerden, the song satirized a white teenager who adopts hip-hop poses, language and cultural codes to construct an identity he does not understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Its music video transformed that premise into a caricature played by Guy Cohen, who drives through a neighborhood while attempting to attract attention through exaggerated gestures, conspicuous clothing and confidence completely disconnected from the way everyone else sees him. Heavy MTV rotation helped turn the track into one of The Offspring\u2019s biggest international hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The single reached number one in countries including Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden. In the United States, it peaked at number three on Billboard\u2019s Alternative Airplay chart and helped Americana expand substantially upon the audience The Offspring had reached with Smash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Released in 1998, Americana sold more than 10 million copies and produced several other essential songs in the band\u2019s catalog, including \u201cWhy Don\u2019t You Get a Job?,\u201d \u201cThe Kids Aren\u2019t Alright\u201d and \u201cShe\u2019s Got Issues.\u201d The album also featured \u201cPretty Fly (Reprise),\u201d a short mariachi rendition hidden after \u201cPay the Man\u201d on the original CD edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Born in California\u2019s San Fernando Valley, 8onthebeat has built a sound that crosses EDM, hip-hop and Latin music. OCHO has worked with artists including Deorro and DannyLux and has performed within the Insomniac circuit, the company behind festivals such as Electric Daisy Carnival. His Mexican-American identity also occupies a central place on pOCHO, his first full-length album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65642\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-770x963.png 770w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-10x12.png 10w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-293x367.png 293w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-390x488.png 390w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-819x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65642\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-770x963.png 770w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-10x12.png 10w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-293x367.png 293w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100-390x488.png 390w, https:\/\/summainferno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-100.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Offspring lanz\u00f3 \u201cPretty Fly (For a White Guy) (8onthebeat Mix)\u201d, una reinterpretaci\u00f3n de su \u00e9xito de 1998 realizada junto con el productor mexicano-estadounidense 8onthebeat, tambi\u00e9n conocido como OCHO.
