The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Sunday Afternoons on Wisdom Ave" from The Magic of Youth (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: In "Sunday Afternoons on Wisdom Ave," "Ave," normally an abbreviation of avenue, is treated as a word in its own right, & rhymed with "have."

"A modest triple decker in a section that was working class,
Not a lot of company, but we would go there after Mass.
Lace curtains in the window that had been there since the last great war,
There were on the first one and the Mulligans lived on the second floor.

"Sunday driving in the big sedan,
Soup and sandwich on the T.V. stand,
Glad to be there, it was nice to have,
Sunday afternoons on Wisdom Ave.…"
