The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril XV

The Hippos, "Lost It" from Heads Are Gonna Roll (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: The SKApril "All-Stars" are those bands that have contributed a song to every SKApril, dating back to 2011. The Hippos are the second All-Star band to enjoy this SKApril's limelight, which is a bit of a surprise, as seemingly every year I think, "This is the year The Hippos drop out." The Hippos released only three albums before breaking up, & only two of those (one & a half) were ska-punk albums. Yet here they are again. Huzzah!
"I can't believe a word she says to me,
It brings me closer to insanity,
Why can't she just understand?
The things she says could kill a man.

"I can't believe what she said,
It went straight to my head,
I'm lacking inspiration,
Where's my inspiration? (My inspiration)

"I had it, and I lost it,
Now you got to help me get it back again!
I had it, and I lost it,
Now you got to help me get it back again!…"
