Bonus! Song o' the Day: From the SKArchives

Saturday, 24 April 2021
The Soulutions, "Do Right" from the The Aquabats! and Horchata Records Present… Rice Capades Music Sampler, Vol. 1 compilation (Rude Boy Captain Thumbs Up!)

Skammentary: "Do Right" is a paean to romanic love &, despite the R.B.D.S.O.T.D.'s annual festival of "Anti-Valentine's" songs & delight in the cynicism toward romance in third-wave ska-punk, we are here for it.
"Be good,
Do right,
Be kind to that beautiful girl.
Hold her close,
Tell her why
You want to be a part of her world.
Don't be scared
To be fair,
Try to laugh about your worries and cares.
Give a laugh,
Give a smile,
Don't be cruel to that beautiful girl…

"And if things aren't right,
Don't hold on to her.
And if she loves some other guy,
Watch what you say to her,
Remember that you love her and—

"Be good,
Do right,
Be kind to that beautiful girl…

"Be good,
Do right,
Be kind to the most beautiful girl in the world."
As beautiful as the multi-instrumentalist Elise Trouw is (above), she's not the beautiful girl I'm thinking of as I listen to "Do Right."
