    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!
