"Santeria". I don't know much about the fans this band has so I don't love it or hate it for that. But "Santeria" has a really catchy melody, it's easy for me to sing around the house because it's right in my range, and without knowing most of the lyrics I can just make up stupid shit that fits in well.

Let me tell you about a girl I knowhad a drink about an hour ago.Sitting in a corner by herself in a bar in downtown Hell.She heard a noise and she looked through the door.And saw a man she'd never seen before.Light skin light blue eyes a double chin and a plastic smile.Well her eyebrow raised as he walked through the doorAnd took an empty seat next to her at the bar."My brand new car is parked right outside. How'd ya like to go for a ride?"And she said."Wait a minute I have to think."He said, "That's fine. May I please buy you a drink"One drink turned into 3 or 4 and they left and got into his carand they drove away someplace real far.Now babe the time has come.How'd ya like to have a little fun?And she said." If we could only please be on our way, I will not run."That's when things got out of control.She didn't want to, he had his way.She said, "Let's Go"He said, "No Way!"Come on babe it's your lucky day.Shut your mouth, were gonna do it my way.Come on baby don't be afraid,if it wasn't for date rape I'd never get laid.He finished up and he started the carHe turned around and drove back to the bar.He said."Now baby don't be sad, in my opinion you weren't half-bad."She picked up a rock.,threw it at the car, hit him in the head, now his got a big scar.Come on party people won't you listen to me.Date Rape Stylie.The next day she went to her drawer, looked up her local attorney at law,went to the phone and filed the police report and then she took the guy's ass to court.Well, the day he stood in front of the judge he screamed, " She lies that little slut!"The judge knew that he was full of shit and he gave him 25 yearsAnd now his heart is filled with tears.That night in jail it was getting late.He was butt-raped by a large inmate, and he screamed.But the guards paid no attention to his cries.That's when things got out of control.The moral of the date rape story, it does not pay to be drunk and horny.But that's the way it had to be.They locked him up and threw away the key.Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind,even though he now takes it in the behind.That's the way it had to be.They locked him up and threw away the key.Well, I can't take pity on men of his kind,even though he now takes it in the behind.DATE RAPEShe didn't want to TAKE IT!

They were seriously my favorite band at some point in high school. And they're still huge here in Cali. I think this goes along with the controversial "Hanging out w/ people who don't know anything about anything and are into lame shit" thread, like how so many people whose tastes haven't budged since HS. Like there are seriously so many people in NorCal who listen EXCLUSIVELY to this weird prescribed list of music that includes radio rap, Bay area rap (Mac Dre, Andre Nickatina, hyphy shit) and a couple of acceptable bro-rock bands, of which RHCP and Sublime are the cornerstones. See also the enduring popularity of Pepper and Slightly Stoopid.I read recently on a blog someone describing a trip to his suburban hometown as a place "where tight pants are still weird and Sublime never got old," which is so OTM it hurts, even in Sacramento, which in terms of population is a pretty major urban center.

The singular sound of Sublime, alternately polished and rough and ready, finds stoner rock, rap, punk, and hip-hop funk blended with doses of ska, rock steady, dancehall, and every other pungent flavor of reggae. The result was a beautiful, warts-and-all brand of poetry - a powerful new blend of street sounds and party music. In Nowell, Sublime had an astounding singer and lyricist who created his own edgy but expressive underground vernacular. And in Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh, Sublime was fortunate to have an agile, rock-solid rhythm section that could cover the entire musical waterfront. They were musical counterparts that created their own signature rhythmic foundation, creating the ultimate canvas for Nowell to embellish.[9]

just to clarify, i was not trying to equivocate between the inane shit nowell says about dark subjects and the inane shit speech said about dark subjects, but note that both were '90s-identified post-hiphop hippie good time groups that said inane shit about dark subjects.
And I don't think it's incredibly strange to call out songs that incoherently race bait and have a guy telling a woman who just had an abortion "after I scold U, maybe I can mold u to share your truths with me. To tell U the truth, you made a mistake."

I've never raped anyone at least as far as I can remember. We were at a party a long time ago and we were all talking about how much date rape sucked. This guy was like, "Date rape isn't so bad; if it wasn't for date rape I'd never get laid." Everyone at the party was bummed out about it, but I was cracking up and I wrote a funny song about it.[2]

I saw Fishbone last month and they covered "Date Rape" and I was like "well, it's late, I saw enough of this show to be done now" because ugh it is rough watching somebody sing "Date Rape"

there were a lot of Sublime fans in college but when they played the first album, it was more about Ruca/40 oz/Smoke Two Joints, plus the Dead and Marley covers. I dont remember people playing Date Rape all that much...
I remember a while back wanting to write an exegetical essay about Sublime and "Wrong Way" which I look back now and am glad I didn't...

Yeah, Date Rape is buried so deep in the second side of the tape, sorta at the end with the less vital tracks (the decendants cover, krs-one, thanx) and right after another of the weaker songs on the album (Ebin).
