Bonus! Song o' the Day: This Day in SKApril History

Operation AXIOM: Thursday, 14 April 2011
The Hippos, "Don't Worry" from Forget the World (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: One idea I had to fête this eleventh SKApril, this start of the second decade of SKApril, was to feature daily SKApril R.B.D.S.O.T.D. from years past. This would serve the twofold function of celebrating the rich history of SKApril & highlighting some great songs that, due to the rules of SKApril, haven't been highlighted in years. As you can see, that hasn't happened yet. Maybe I'll continue doing so for the remainder of this SKApril, maybe I'll wait until next year's SKApril XII, maybe I'll forget the whole thing as soon as I publish this. We shall see.
"So, you know that everybody's going to
The ska shows when it used to be just you,
You feel betrayed, alone, left out,
All your favorite bands have all sold out.

"Don't worry,
I, I still love you,
Don't worry,
I, I still love you.

"Now you see them on M.T.V.,
No way they're gonna remember little old me,
What's become of your ska scene?
All the bands want money, all the bands are mean.

"Don't worry,
I, I still love you,
Don't worry,
I, I still love you.

"So please come to the show tonight,
I promise everything is gonna be alright,
Boys are gonna go start a pit,
But all you wanna do is dance, you're sick of this punk bit.

"Don't worry,
I, I still love you,
Don't worry,
I, I still love you.
