The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Less Than Jake, "Pete Jackson Is Getting Married" from Borders & Boundaries (T.L.A.M.)

Skammentary: It is my honor to be a groomsman in a C.R.H.P. brother's wedding this afternoon, to the sister of one of my closest childhood friends. After this lone springtime wedding, I have a raft of nuptials to attend in the late summer, so I'd be none too surprised if "Pete Jackson Is Getting Married" was the R.B.D.S.O.T.D. a few more times in the Year of Our Lord 2014.

"I can see it all right now:
His mom and dad, so proud of their son and his newfound wife,
And I wonder if after all these years,
Will his dad still give him a pep talk for his wedding night?

"I can smell his cousin's Polo
Mixed with his grandpa's Old Spice,
The Swedish meatballs look so tempting
That his two fat aunts might even fight.

"And his uncles have all gone drinking
Highballs and Hamm's Light in the parking lot,
While the rest of this relatives
Are busy just tearing this Mansville Elks lodge.

"I can smell his cousin's Polo
Mixed with his grandpa's Old Spice,
The mashed potatoes look so tasty
That his two fat aunts might even fight.

"And on that day what else could I say?
I'd say, Here's to you staying drunk,
Here's to all your good luck,
You're gonna need it!"
