bq. "Before you started tokin',You used to have a brainBut you don't get even the simplest of thing.I can draw a picture, Or even use my hands, I try to explain but you just don't understand.bq. Man you're really losin' it, And you've really done a lot of junk now. But you keep abusin' it,What in the world happened to you?"--??"What Happened To You?"?? by Offspring==============================================I remember I got the album Smash with gift cards from my birthday. Come Out And Play was the only single out. Self Esteam was the first song I ever learned how to play on a bass guitar. Self Esteam was one of those few songs that I said "This should be a single", and it becomes one. Like Rancid's "...And Out Come The Wolves", I didn't think too much of the album at first, but as years go by and after many full repeated listenings of the album, I realize that every track is great. It's hard to pick favorites, but Self Esteam, What Happened To You? and So Alone are probably favs."What Happened To You?" has streightforward lyrics and they ring true to me. And musically the ska riffs and the punk "hey!" mix so well. One day some ska band should cover this song, maybe thow in some horns. But I can't imagine anyone elses singing it though.
