"Man Overboard" is a song by Blink-182 from their live CD "". "Man Overboard", however, is a studio recording. It was released as a single in 2000. The words "So sorry, it's over" are repeated throughout the song, a reference to an earlier Blink-182 song, "Untitled," recorded when Raynor was still a part of the band. The song was rarely played in full at concerts, but its second verse and chorus were played at almost every show in their later 2004 tours as part of a medley of some of their older songs. It is rumored to be about how former drummer Scott Raynor was an alcoholic and got kicked out of the band.
