Mustard Plug, "Miss Michigan" from Evildoers Beware! (The Last Angry Rude Boy)
Skammentary: I endorse neither the attitude exhibited nor the behaviors recommended by "Miss Michigan," but the loneliness encountered by many a ska kid, coupled with a poor anthropology, an impoverished vision of the human person, lead many to "date Miss Michigan" for years, to the detriment of all their relationships—romantic, platonic, & familial—creating an intensely negative feedback loop & doing substantial harm to our entire society. This downward spiral is in no way limited to the ska subculture, but reflects broader societal trends since the catastrophe of the sexual revolution.
As ever, third-wave ska's response to tragedy & disaster is to pair jaunty melodies with biting sarcasm & pessimistic lyrics.
"I've done it before and I'll do it again!
I've seen the path and I've seen its end!
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
I think I'm better off just dating Miss Michigan!"
