My Top 1000 Songs #994: Ugly

[I've been writing up my Top 1000 songs on a daily basis--you can see them all in descending order by hitting the All My Favorite Songs tag.]

Fishbone's 1985 self-titled debut EP is one of those consummate college records. The sort of thing you'd play on the college station, hear constantly at parties... and then pretty much never listen to again after graduation, but it's always in the back of your head somewhere. "Ugly" sees the funk/ska party band fully amped up, and if you didn't spend countless drunken nights shouting "U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi, you're just ugly..." well, I don't know how you've made it through life.
