we play this song in marching band, it's like the Robertsdale football team thing song. good to know the lyrics, lol. this song is fun to play. go saxaphones!
Excellent job on transcribing this song! Out of all the rock I've listened to this song is one of the hardest to understand.
What I don't understand is how the FBI conducted a 2 year investigation and couldn't find an obscenity when the drummer clearly yells "fuck!" at 0:58. Even I can hear that one!
