    This has been a song i've been wanting to re-record for quite some time, so here it is! 2 years later, and with way better production, Pure imagination!
    If you dig this, please give a like and subscribe if you aren't, that stuff is what helps my content show up in the algorithm!!!
    Part of why this cover sounds so much better now is because I have had huge support from people like you over on Patreon. If you want to get cool rewards and exclusive access to content, then head on over to www.patreon.com/skatunenetwork
    Not a fan of content? What about sweet merch? I got dope merch that range from S - 3XL that's running short on the skatune network webstore, so check that out at www.skatunenetwork.bigcartel.com
    and Finally, if you wanna hear some original music, i play trombone in We are the union, and we are on all socials @Wearetheunion, we are on all streaming platforms under We Are the Union, and we do play gigs all around, like in Detroit 8/23 with Zebrahead and chicago 8/24 with The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Menzingers, Mustard Plug, Iron Chic, Buck-o-nine, and more!

    There's something about the combo of the horn timbre and the way you subtly add something to the melodies that takes songs and melodies I've never cared for and makes them so good. Interval selection? I have no idea. But I like it.
