The Daria theme song, “You’re Standing on My Neck,” is an iconic and edgy tune that perfectly embodies the show’s sarcastic and rebellious spirit. Created by Glenn Eichler and Susie Lewis, Daria first aired on March 3, 1997, in the USA as a spin-off from Beavis and Butt-Head.
The catchy theme song, with its bold lyrics and alternative rock sound, served as the perfect introduction to the misadventures of the show’s deadpan protagonist, Daria Morgendorffer. With five seasons and 65 episodes, the series resonated with audiences for its sharp wit, relatable characters, and witty commentary on teenage life.
On June 25, 2001, Daria aired its final episode, leaving behind a lasting legacy and a theme song that continues to evoke nostalgia for its dedicated fanbase.
Daria Theme Song Lyrics
La la la la la
This is my stop
Got to get off
I may go pop
Excuse me, Excuse me
I’ve got to be direct
La la la
If I’m off, please correct
La la la
You’re standing on my neck
Daria Lyrics (Long Version)
la la la la la
This is my stuff
Got to get off
I might go pop
Excuse me, Excuse me
I’ve got to be direct
la la la
If I’m off, please correct
la la la
You’re standing on my neck
Look right through me
Say I’m gloomy
Well so sue me
Excuse me, excuse me
I’ve got to be direct
la la la
Its like a big train wreck
la la la
Your standing on my neck
la la la
Your standing on my neck
la la la
Your standing
Nothing is like I planned it
So funny I cant stand it
Wish I was made of granit
I must be on another planet
la la la la la
la la la la la
This is my stuff
I’ve got to get off
I might go pop
Excuse me, excuse me
I’ve got to be direct
la la la
If I’m off please correct
la la la
Your standing on my neck
la la la
You standing on my neck
la la la
Your standing on my neck
