Bonus! Song o' the Day: SKAugust


MU330, "Stagnant Water" from MU330 (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary: MU330 was always kind of dark. That's not a criticism, darkness is a part of life, part of this exile. Most other ska bands greet darkness with snark not to deny it, but to help endure it.
"Wouldn't it be nice if we could stay the same way,
Forget about what happened the other day,
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water.

"It'd be great if I could laugh it all away,
All debts cancelled so easy,
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water.

"I swam upstream all spring,
I shot my wife, spread my seed,
I died the next day,
Died the next day,
I'm still glad it ended that way,
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water.

"You could be queen and I'd be your king,
You'd be innocent and I'd be trusting,
I'd hold on and I'd believe you,
And I'd forget about who touched you.

Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water,
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water,
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water."
