The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day: REGGAEpril

Eric Christian Olsen, "Some Worries" (from Community) via iTunes (The Last Angry Man)

Skammentary: I shall quote myself, from the last time "Some Worries" was the R.B.D.S.O.T.D.

From the album Community: Music from the Original Television Series. Normally carefree Vaughan (played by Eric Christian Olsen), introducing the song:

"It's made me kind of look at the world as, as just not as epic as I thought it was. I've got some situations."

"Some Worries" is refreshingly honest, because the world isn't a beer commercial. We are all confronted with difficulties & disappointments, with failures & fiascoes. Ska kids know this instinctively, ska—the greatest music heard this side o' the choir invisible—being inexplicably unpopular & persistently unfashionable.

"This cool breeze blows a little too cool,
This righteous, tasty bud makes me act like a fool,
Sand on my bottom at the end of the day,
Oh, where's the pretty girl that I just didn't say—

"I got some worries,
Some worries,
I got some worries,
Some worries.

"Take 'em to church, Pierce! (keyboard solo) Pierce on keyboard! Let him know you love!

"I roll with the punches, I flow with the go,
I stop and smell the flowers 'cause the rude boys say so,
I don't read a book by its cover no more,
Leap before you look as she walks out the door.

"I got some worries,
Some worries,
I got some worries,
Just being honest,
Some worries.

"Can I get some cowbell in here?

"I got some worries,
(cowbell keeps the beat)
Some worries,
Put your hands together. Come on, gimme that!
I got some worries,
Some worries."
