Sublime - April 29, 1992 (Rodney King riots)
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-LB94Kwlws)

because you know, today is April 29

[DipDipDive]

It's about comin' up and stayin' on top
And screamin' 1-8-7 on a motherfuckin' cop

[Whatitis]

But if you look at the streets, it wasn't about Rodney King
It's this fucked-up situation and these fucked-up police

Some kids went in the store with their mother...
I saw her when she came out she was gettin' some pampers.

What a great song. A true history lesson. Gives me chills and takes me back 17 years with the first bassline. Not bad for a "frat band." Fuck you haters.

TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA
CLEEEEEEVELAAAAAND, OOOHIOOOO

National Guard,
Smoke from all around...

that's a kickass video

The fact that Brad Nowell gets the date wrong in the first line of the song (he says "April 26th, 1992") is kind of a sad indicator of just how twisted he was when they made the album. Great tune regardless.
