One thing I will give them credit for is the beat. Nothing too ground breaking, but your toes will tap as you try to stomach Alfalfa, I mean Potz, or whatever dumb name the singer goes by. And what's with the Van Halen guitar? Are you serious? Santana had Carlos. Sublime had Brad. The Wailers had Bob Marley. You get the theme here? They obviously don't. Pick it up at a $.99 used bin near you and save the postage for a...
