Born Ruffians came out with Red, Yellow, and Blue in 2008, and one of our favorite songs off the album is "Badonkadonkey". They juxtapose a goofy, almost overly simplistic sound with lyrics that are a bit on the darker side, which creates the option of listening to it just for fun. Unfortunately their second album, Say It, was produced by someone else, the producer for Modest Mouse I believe. It's more polished, and the boyish garage-band sound is completely absent, which let's be honest, sucks.
More importantly, this song is filled with nostalgia for anyone who has gotten sick and tired of their girlfriend. Senior year, anyone? But seriously how does Luke Lalonde have such insights into all our high school experiences? ----
"And if you get squished I'll find another you,
And if you get squashed I'll find another you,
It won't be hard to find another one like you,
Another you, another you"
