The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day: SKApril!

Johnny Socko, "Tortugas" from Full Trucker Effect (T.L.A.M.)

Skammentary: The lyrics of "Tortugas" are a mixture of English & Spanish, but not in a terribly culturally sensitive, prissy way: Today's R.B.D.S.O.T.D. is a heart-warming tale of underage college students walking to the liquor store because they cannot find their car keys. The eponymous Tortugas being a brand of malt liquor which they wish to purchase. I woke us this morning with "Tortugas" running through my head, which means I woke up this morning with a smile on my face.

"Keys ain't nowhere, so
amigos decided to caminar,
To walk a half mile for sweet malt liquor doesn't seem too far,
That's when
problemas y dolores de la noche began
La policias were destined to ruin a happy plan…"
