The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAfter Party!

The Aquabats!, "C.D. Repo Man!" from The Return of the Aquabats! (Captain Thumbs Up!)

Skammentary!: The lyrics of this song must be completely incomprehensible to those who've grown up with downloadable/streaming music era.
"When C.D. Repo Man, that guy is on a roll,
He'll jump through windows to get back what the suckers stole,
He looks tame, but you know he will attack,
He does his job to get your C.D.s back!

"C.D. Repo Man!
He can go where I can't go,
C.D. Repo Man!
He'll infiltrate your stereo,
C.D. Repo Man!
He'll creep up around your back,
C.D. Repo Man!
He'll get your CDs back!

"When your possessions are gone
And something is wrong,
There is action to take.
Don't call him unless you're really ticked
Because there is no escape.
He wears a suit, it looks like he's strapped,
Don't mess with him or you'll get smacked,
Don't steal my CDs,
That don't make no sense,
Because the Repo Man is always intense!…

(Sidekick) "'Wow, that was intense!'
(C.D. Repo Man) "'Repo Man's always intense. Come on, let's go get a drink!'"
