The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril XII!

M.C. Lars featuring The M.C. Bat Commander & Suburban Legends, "This Gigantic Robot Kills" from the This Gigantic Robot Kills single (Captain Thumbs Up!)

Skammentary!:
"Billy built a robot in his parents' garage
Because he had a list of problems that he needed to solve.
He said, 'I'm sick of The Hills. Laguna Beach is fake and whack,
'Let's party like it's Ninety-six and bring the horn section back!'

"Back before Gwen Stefani started rappin' with Pharrell,
Gas was one fifteen and Goldfinger could sell.
When reality T.V. wasn't scripted or contrived,
The brass was fat and bumpin' and the beats were all played live.

"See, Billy was obsessed with third-wave ska:
The Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, he'd seen them all.
He longed for a time when even Bill Clinton played the sax
On the White House lawn and kids wore shades and checkered slacks…

"He brought the Nineties back and then he freed Tibet,
If you can't find his jam on Napster than the Warehouse has cassettes…

"'Ska is not dead!'"
