The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAfter Party

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Green Bay, Wisconsin" from While We're at It (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary:
"She would not let Green Bay, Wisconsin destroy her,
Gave her two-week notice to her longtime employer,
At Schreiber Foods Incorporated
Where she nearly suffocated.
She drew a war tribe skull with a Sharpie fine point marker,
On the back of her army green Fred Perry parka,
Drove her Vespa motor scooter overnight right through the valley,
To the Lake Geneva motor scooter rally,
Checked into the Chateau Royale Inn,
She had to let the living part of life begin!

"Moving on forward, she rallied and she ran,
Romp the Moonstomp, she did the running man,
Skankin' and a rankin' full stop and full force,
One step with the old 'come on,'
With no apologies, regrets, shame, or remorse.

"She met the guy that plays the bass for The Pietasters,
She had little to no interest, but he chased her,
Scalawags, Scally cap, and Sherman suit,
Inequity and ill repute,
She drank a pint of Guinness Stout and got away,
Got out her matte black pair of Beats by Dre,
Trojan, Blue Beat, and 2Tone,
The Skatalites, 'Guns of Navarone,'
Back to the Chateau Royal Inn,
She had to let the living part of life begin (again!)…

"She would not let Green Bay, Wisconsin destroy her,
She had to let the living part of life begin!
She would not let Green Bay, Wisconsin destroy her,
With no apologies, regrets, shame or remorse."
