The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day!

The Aquabats!, "The Thing on the Bass Amp!" from The Aquabats! vs. The Floating Eye of Death! and Other Amazing Adventures, Vol. 1 (Captain Thumbs Up!)

Skammentary:
"As the legend goes of the mystery house,
The old man in his basement chained
A monster in the cabinet,
A creature of habit,
Incredibly inevitable,
Incredibly strange!

"Ever since the day, just like a parade,
When the odd man moved to town,
The people started losing track
Of important things they'd known,
And folks 'round here lost the will
To get things done at all,
Ask someone what went wrong,
They'll say it's not their fault!

"So when you're feeling might low,
Not just a little, but a lot,
You realize you're all messed up,
But don't feel bad,
A voice inside your head says
It's not your fault!

"The thing!
That climbs into your head at night,
The thing!
With selfish teeth and greedy eyes,
The thing!
That helps you escape your mistake,
The thing!
There's something else that you can blame:
The thing in the bass amp!…"
