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

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "The Horse Shoe and the Rabbit's Foot" from The Magic of Youth (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary:
"The horseshoe and the rabbit's foot:
As luck would have it we were put,
Right through the wringer recently,
Which took a decent piece of me.
I know that in all likelihood
That it's most likely gone for good,
And I for one am good with that,
So currently that's where we're at…

"The houndstooth and the herringbone:
We couldn't have but should have known,
The wringer rang it right on out,
I wonder what's it all about.
The story's changed so drastically
There's got to be a way that we
Could try to listen and receive,
Accept, acknowledge, and believe…

"The sharkskin and the tortoiseshell:
As luck would have it all is well,
That ends like this did any way,
We said all that we hat to say,
And can't diminish or dismiss
There's something to be said for this,
Or nothing left that should be said,
Let's leave it alone instead,
I think the conversation's dead…"
