Bonus! Song o' the Day: SKAugust

The Hippos, "Don't Worry" from Forget the World (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: I freely admit, without any shame, that throughout the first week of SKAugust the fiftieth anniversary of Apollo 15 was at the forefront of my mind. But now that that anniversary has passed, let the skanking begin in earnest!
"So, you know that everybody's going to
The ska shows when it used to be just you,
You feel betrayed, alone, left out,
All your favorite bands have all sold out.

"Don't worry,
I, I still love you,
Don't worry,
I, I still love you.

"Now you see them on M.T.V.,
No way they're gonna remember little old me,
What's become of your ska scene?
All the bands want money, all the bands are mean.

"Don't worry,
I, I still love you,
Don't worry,
I, I still love you.

"So please come to the show tonight,
I promise everything is gonna be alright,
Boys are gonna go start a pit,
But all you wanna do is dance, you're sick of this punk bit.

"Don't worry,
I, I still love you,
Don't worry,
I, I still love you."
