The Offspring (sometimes referred to as simply "Offspring") are a popular and highly influential American rock band from Garden Grove, California formed in 1984. Since its inception, the band's line-up has included Dexter Holland (lead vocals, guitar), Noodles (lead and rhythm guitars, backing vocals) and Greg K. (bass, backing vocals). Their current drummer is Pete Parada, formerly of Face to Face and Saves the Day, who has been with the band since 2007.

Since the release of their 1994 album Smash, which is the best-selling independent label album of all time, The Offspring have achieved commercial success over five albums, with singles such as "Come Out and Play", and "Self Esteem". In addition to Smash, their next three albums, Ixnay on the Hombre, Americana and Conspiracy of One, have each received platinum certification. Longtime drummer Ron Welty left The Offspring in early 2003, and was replaced by Atom Willard. Later that year, the band released their next album, Splinter, to moderate sales and fairly warm reviews. Their next album, titled Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, will be released on June 17, 2008.

To date, The Offspring have released seven studio albums, one compilation, three EPs and three DVD's, selling over 34 million albums worldwide, making them one of the best-selling punk acts of all time. The band is credited, along with fellow California punk bands Green Day and Rancid, with reviving popular interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid-1990s.

Americana is a concept album and the fifth album by The Offspring, released on November 17, 1998 (see 1998 in music), and has sold more than 11 million copies worldwide. This was their most successful album since their 1994 breakthrough Smash.

Americana is also an Enhanced CD and contains the karaoke videos of "Staring at the Sun", "Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)" and "Why Don't You Get a Job?", and the previous MTV music videos from its predecessor, Ixnay on the Hombre. The album's main themes are of unpleasant realities of American life.

"Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)" is a single, released by The Offspring, from their 1998 album Americana. It achieved significant pop and alternative radio play and popularity, peaking at number 53 on the US charts, number 1 on the UK charts and Australian charts. It is arguably The Offspring's most successful song commercially.

Beginning with a sample of the quasi-German nonsense phrase "Gunter glieben glauten globen" from Def Leppard's song "Rock of Ages," chanted as a replacement for the traditional "1, 2, 3, 4" to start the recording, the song ridicules a "wannabe gangsta" (or "wigger") who is immersed in hip-hop culture not because he truly loves it, but because it is trendy, makes him feel tough and makes it seem that he can get all the girls ("and all the girlies say I'm pretty fly - for a white guy").

The song openly mocks the middle-class suburban youths who listen to rap music for this reason.
