Magic!, "Rude" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)
Skammentary: Absolutely pop & perhaps only incidentally reggae, "Rude" still has an undeniably SKApril-appropriate rhythm, in addition to be wicked catchy. Self-styled purists who don't like it, if there are any out there, can piss off.
"Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes, 'cause I need to know.
You say I'll never get your blessin' 'til the day I die,
'Tough luck, my friend, 'cause the answer's still no.'
"Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human, too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway…"
Magic!, "Rude" is this SKApril's winner for shortest entry, judge by length of band name & song title, beating out the previous leader—Potshot, "Radio"—which was just ahead of Pushover, "Pitiful." Counting the exclamation point in Magic!, which we must, just as we do the exclamation point in The Aquabats!, Magic!, "Rude" has ten characters. There are ten characters alone in a single word—afternoons—in our longest entry: The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Sunday Afternoons On Wisdom Ave."
