Favorite Sublime Song
 

Early in the morning, risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone

I got a dalmation, and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother fucking riot
Life is (too short), so love the one you got
Cause you might get runover or you might get shot

Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Never start no static I just get it off my chest
Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it all to charity
Love is what I got
It's within my reach

And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you, you'll finally get what you deserve
Try and test that you're bound to get served
Love's what I got
Don't start a riot
You'll feel it when the dance gets hot

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that

(That's) why I don't cry when my dog runs away
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot
Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock
Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same
Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane
Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin', is what I got, I got I got I got I...got

[Note: There is another version of this song with 2 following lines reordered in the 2nd verse:

"Never start no static I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest"]

ALL OF THEM!

I love them all and will listen to all of them today!;)

my favorite is "let's go get stoned"

if i was a roach on a tree, tell me would you smoke me? lol

although all of 40 oz. to freedom makes me the happiest girl in the world... i LOVE sublime

Santeria.

as bad as the message is... I love the song "date rape." Very fun to sing when 3 sheets to wind at a bar... not that I know that. :p

Summertime, hands down!

Santeria and Same in the End

No question about it.
 

I know it's just the first line, but I mark the beginning of most summer days (usually starting in May or whenever the weather here is consistently glorious enough) by cranking this song up on the way to work. It just makes things seem a little more carefree and relaxed than they really are!

Sublime - Doin' Time - Second Hand Smoke

Summertime and the livin's easy
Bradley's on the microphone with Ras-MG
All the people in the dance will agree that
we're well qualified to represent the LBC

Me and Louie we're gunna run to the party and
dance till the rhythm it gets harder

Ba da ba bye bye
Ba da ba bye bye

Me and my girl we got this relationship
I love her so bad but she treats me like shhh
All locked down like a penitentiary
She spreads her lovin all over
and when she gets home
there's none left for me

Summertime and the livin's easy
Bradley's on the microphone with Ras-MG
All the people in the dance will agree that we're
well qualified to represent the LBC

Me and Louie we're gunna run to the party
and dance till the rhythm it gets
harder

Ba da ba bye bye
Ba da ba bye bye
Ba da ba bye bye
Ba da ba bye bye

So take this veil from off my eyes
My burning sun will some day rise
And what am I gunna be doin for a wife
I said I'm gunna play with myself
Show them now we've come off the shelf

Summertime and the livin's easy
Bradley's on the microphone with Ras-MG
All the people in the dance will agree that we're
well qualified to represent the LBC

Me and Louie we're gunna run to the party
and dance till the rhythm it gets harder

Evil
Evil
Tension
Tension
Hold her
Water

Evil come to tell you that she's evil
most definitely
Evil, horny scandalous and evil
most definitely

The tension is growing hotter
I'd like to hold her head underwater

Summertime and the livin's easy
Bradley's on the microphone with Ras-MG
All the people in the dance will agree that we're
well qualified to represent the LBC

Me and Louie everybody run to the party
and dance till the rhythm it gets harder

Is This not the Greatest thread ever or what.

Hands down, my favorite sublime song....errrrr chapters favorite sublime song is....

Rivers of Babylon.

You get 3 guys in chapter playin that song on the guitar, and 60 guys knowin the words to it. Hell yeah it sounds so tight.


heres the rank

oh for christ sakes. everything from 40 ounces to freedom.

and for the record. though i am as high as a kite right now, why is it that my spelling is better than when I am not high?


PS...I told you I"d come on greekchat after I lit one up. hahahaha hell yea I'm a loser. peace the F!

on my way here, 'what i got' was on the radio. i love that song

Jailhouse, cause when I was a youth in 1983 (age 2), those were the best days of my life...well, beats the hell out of working

I think y'all took my favorite songs already. I don't know how many times I've been in a room where everyone got stoned and drunk to various Sublime songs. Smoke Two Joints and Summertime, the BOB MARLEY's Rivers of Babylon cover are by far my favorites though.

I was truly blessed to see Sublime live 3 times before Bradley died and the group disbanded. :)

"What I Got" is just my song. I swear it is on every mix tape I make.

After that, "40 oz. to Freedom" and "Boss DJ."

You still make mix tapes? Awwwww that's so cute. :D Mwahahahaha.

I have to admit I prefer them to CDs . . . there is something so much cuter about the tape format.

BUT considering the last time I bought a CD (I admit it, I am one of those evil music-stealers) it's pretty much easier to go with the mix CD format than with the tape.

Agreed. "what I Got" is a great song.

hahaha date rape....

HE WAS BUTTRAPED, BY A LARGE INMATE!



or how about...

a cigarette. rest between her lips, but i'm starin at her tits! its the wrongggg way...



ahhh how cuold I forget another chapter favorite " caress me down"

"I'm more hornier than Ron Jeremy!" ahaha

Jailhouse! Can't fight against the youth!

Every time i go to the pool hall I always play jailhouse on the jukebox its so awesome...

BADFISH!


When you grab a hold of me Tell
me that I'll never be set free
I'm a parasite,
creep and crawl I step into the night.
Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too? Are you a badfish too?
Ain't got no money to spend
I know the night will never end
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef


Baby your a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
I swim but wish I never learned
The water's too polluted with germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed
Ain't got no quarrels with god Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef


Ain't got no quarrels with God Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef

"Caress Me Down".....oh yeah :D Love this song!

Can I have two???
 

I completely agree with "Caress Me Down" It's so sex-ay! :p

My other fave is "My Ruca"- I love the bass line!

On the east side that's where I met my ramona
"I wanna go to a party " that's what she said
Lonely that's what I've been
Here's my telephone number call me
..and to a party a "house par ty"
Whole lotta people just rally roun me and love
she send a message of love
she said I love up the way you move I love the way you rap BOP BOP.
Ramona please step back

Now she's my ruca I'm barely waiting for my heina

She moved from Long Beach down to LA
Right now she selling oranges by the freeway
I wanna know, Ramona am I the only one tell me
and she said "Your not the only one, but your the best Bradley", BOP BOP.
And know now I'm waiting for my ruca and I barely pulled up with my heina
I know tonight I'll be behind her, don't fuck around with my heina.

Caress Me Down and Santeria are wonderful!

BUMP

My fave is Santeria. In our greek week a couple or years ago, 3 of our girls did Date Rape as our lip sync song. lol.

My favorite would have to be Garden Grove.

Santeria, Wrong Way.

Dammick, I'm so pissed. Someone ganked my 40 oz to freedom CD at DY bottle auction sophmore year. Sad, but I haven't gotten around to replacing it yet.

I'm one of the biggest sublime geeks on the planet earth, so I'll do a top10 for the kiddies:

10.) Romeo
9.) Garden Grove
8.) Badfish
7.) DJs
6.) Mary/Big Salty Tears
5.) Let's Go Get Stoned
4.) New Realization
3.) Right Back
2.) Greatest Hits
1.) Santeria


I honestly think Santeria is their best song, even though it was arguably their biggest hit - if you ever doubt its importance to Brad and the band, check out a LBDAS show - they end every show w/ the crowd singing Santeria.

Amazing stuff kids.

OMG, this thread makes me happy :-)

My absolute favorite Sublime song is STP...I can listen to that song over and over and over and never get tired of it. My next favorite would prob. be Greatest Hits.

Santeria and Romeo are my two favorites; as was said, Santeria at the end of a LBDAS show is awesome.

Bump


My favourite is "Wrong Way"

DEFINATELY Caress Me Down!

But... has anyone ever heard Sublime's cover of Scarlet Begonias? SO So much better than the Grateful Dead versions with or without Janice Joplin! Its recorded from some live venue somewhere but its excellent - always one of my Most 25 Played on my Ipod, with Caress Me Down and Date Rape.

FYI, although there are many many live versions (most notably on "Stand By Your Van"), there is in fact a full album version on "40oz To Freedom"

Summertime
"Evil.. I've come to tell you that she's evil
Most definitely
Evil
honery, scandalous and evil..
most definitely
The tension.. is getting higher
I've got to hold her head under water"
