Oh, yeah. Dicex DJs, let's get it. Dicex DJ. Now, this girl is sitting in a bar in downtown hell. Right away, this is going to be harder than most songs for us to dissect because, like, he runs through some shit real quick here. So, like, your mind's got to be kind of, like, falling up. So stay with this here.

Oh, okay. He's telling us about a girl he knows how to drink an hour ago. One drink. All right. We've got to keep track of the drinks here for the song. Let's keep it. So that's one drink. Sitting in the corner by herself in a bar in downtown hell.

Now, what is she doing in downtown hell? Why does she think that she needs to go out in downtown hell? Is this an actual town that like she just doesn't enjoy or maybe is it just like hell's kitchen? Why would they call it town hell? Is it hell's kitchen in New York? I think they're talking about like actual hell, like devil's hell. But like even then, if you're, why would you go out in hell? Why would you just stay in your apartment?

Maybe that's why she's sitting alone. She's like, everybody here sucks, dude. It's fucking hell. I already know what's going to happen. if I try to talk to anybody. The singer knows her apparently. Okay. Well, he's telling his story.

I feel like the entire song is him recanting a story of an experience, right? Okay. But he knows a girl. She's sitting in a bar, downtown hell. Continue. She heard a noise that she looked through the door, and saw a man you never seen before. Light skin, light blue eyes,

a double chin and a plastic smile. I heard a noise she never heard before. Then she looks through the door. It's an old man with light blue eyes, a double chin, and a plastic. plastic smile. Now, just from the description alone, this man sounds a bit obese. You're obese? What? You're an obese? I get a little bit of a cheesy vibe. Plastic smile.

I don't know where you're getting that vibe from. I don't know, but the double chin, I guess, is throwing me for a loop. Why? A double chin. I don't know. But when I hear double chin, I'm thinking like, you're obese. Oh, yeah, a little bit. Okay. Her heart was racing as he walked in the door and dig it in the PC next to her at the bar. Her heart was racing just because he took a seat next to her. What's wrong with this girl? I guess she's in hell, so somebody's going to walk through the door.

She's a little worried. She's probably been a good one. He's got a little thing gone. She only has one drink, though. Only one drink. Where the fuck else is going on, though? I always wondered to this part. Did he just start the conversation out?

Like, hey, my brand new car is parked right outside. I just like to go for a ride Like was that his entry Or was that his intro The middle of like Like they've been conversing for a little bit And he's like yeah I have to you know my two kids

And I have a dog I have a new car outside actually Would you like to go for a ride? Like it was a leader in the conversation I feel like if there was previous conversation It would have at least been referred to So yeah I think it was He literally sat the extra

And he's like yo I just went right into it Car yeah Car Yeah Wait a minute I have to think he said that's fine May I please buy you a drink

Her response was was, wait a minute, I have to think. Why would she verbalize that response? You know, like, wait a minute, I have to think. As I discussed earlier, I think she probably on a good one. But she only had one drink. Yeah, but one drink. She's on a good one, though.

Oh. Yeah. Okay. One drink turned into three or four, and there nothing got into his car. And they drove away someplace from far. So what you're saying is she's only had five drinks at this point, which five drinks

How do we jump from one to five One drink to do it to three or four And then what I got it to It was three or four You're helping me hear the words Like because I'm

Oh okay He goes through them quickly They bought one drink She already had one before that So that's two Yeah So automatically add one Matt the shit out for me

Justin Automatically add one To whatever we say So one To do the three or four Yeah Plus one Plus the first

So she said five drinks Good call Yeah Five drinks at this point But they don't say How many hours They don't say How long they've been there

Now, if this isn't a half hour's time, she's blasted. Yeah. Right? But if this isn't over like a five-hour experience, she should be, okay, coherent. I don't know if you're going on a brand-new car ride with a stranger that you just met. But then again, you're in downtown hell. I don't know what you're... You started in downtown hell.

So, like, if you can take a ride anywhere else, probably a jump-up, you know? They went into his car, and they drove away someplace real far. Why were they going so far? I don't know. Let's find out. She's going into a new car with a stranger. Why are they going place real far? Sounds sketchy.

It should just been like... Is it the name of the song, date, right? Yeah, it is. All right. I feel like it's going in a bad direction. Now, babe, the time has come. How'd you like to have a little fun? And she said, if we could only please be hard.

He just pulled over real far, hit this girl with, all right, babe, it's time to have some fun, which... I'm sure this has happened. This is a crazy place to be. Wow. And her ass... I kind of want to I kind of want to hear what she does

This man Should have jumped up a nut And absolutely Committed One of the most heinous acts you could possibly commit Can I just say this? Why was the song Getting playing on the radio? Like regularly

This is crazy It's crazy Yeah I remember hearing this when I was good It was one of those songs that I don't think I realized That was bad She possibly was doing other things Whatever she was doing. Dude, they made it sound so fun right there.

They did. They made it sound, but this is like a terrible situation. This is a terrible story. This is actually one of the first possible situations. This is like the worst. You trust somebody. You get into their car.

You decide to drive from place a real far in their car. They just pull over and say, all right, let's do this now. And you're like, shit. Why do they make it sound so fun? I don't know why this song sounds so,

I don't know why this song sounds so, and happy about this absolutely. It's way too happy for the subject. This is absolutely one of the most heinous crimes you can do that. Even murder. I feel like murder is like, It's right around the corner But then it's like

This is actually In my opinion In my opinion This is possibly worse I mean We're still in the first verse It stays in the head For the other person

For longer Whether it be mad or girl It stays in your head Versus dead I mean yeah I'm sorry But you know what I'm saying Anyway

We're the first verse Let's go back to real quick This is crazy how this song Was made so popular Yeah And so sounds so like I think K-Rox Still plays it like every Tuesday

Come on babe It's your lucky day Shut your mouth We're gonna do my way Come on big Wasn't for day rape I'd never get late All right

That guitar is still Absolutely fucking slays I mean it gets hype You feel like you want to dance to it What a waste of great Instrumentals It's a great Oh my God

The instrumental is Get you hype and going And he's just like Why did they have to make it about this Why did this great song Have to be on that subject? She didn't want to What the fuck

He had his way Oh my gosh She said let's that go. He said no way. Oh my God, dude. It's so bad. Shut your mouth. We're going to do it my way. Get the fuck. If it wasn't four-day rape, I'd never

get laid. That is probably the worst line that's ever been... That's ever been said. Possible songs sung about. I don't know if I was... Just hear that one again. Just hear that last thing again. No, I'm not going to go back to it. I don't want to hear it again, actually. Now that I'm talking deep, this is one of my favorite karaoke songs.

It is. I've watched you do it. I love it. I love singing this song, but as I'm singing it, Oh my God. It's probably the worst song that's ever been written. I mean, I'm legitimately like not happy. Doesn't it make you kind of just be like, wait, probably no. What was going on? Like, why did you actually put this?

Why didn't you help this girl? He knew her. He told me about a girl he knows that they got out the gate. Why did you make it sound so happy? I don't know, man. All right, let's go to the second verse here because do we want to? We can bail out. We can still bail.

She gets her way back. All right. I don't know. I'm right in the, I'm right. As I'm predicting and I know about this song, some good things happened that we're going to like. Finished up, he started the car. He turned around and drove back to the bar.

He said, now, baby, don't be sad. In my opinion. I don't want to do this song anymore. We're done. This is the last part of this. As I know the song, this is the last first part. But he finished up and started the car. Man, that line right there is like, when you start to sit, like, whoa.

This whole shit is really bad, dude. It's just a dark story. It's a dark story. I don't want to make jokes here You can't make jokes Turn around joke back to the bar Baby Yeah

The bad thing's just We just need to get to the end of Now this part I need to get through this song I want to stop for this part Specifically because listen to what she does And I'm going to stop pretty quickly Because I'm amazed at since I was a kid

And listen to a song Which yes I listened to this as a kid Because it was on the radio Yeah She picked up a rock Through to the car Get him in the head to it's got to make a rock What?

She picked up a rock threw it at the car hit him in the head now he's got a big scar now he just said all that in like the two seconds that you just played right kind of she picked the rock through the car

that was great lyric that was a great lyric yeah in my opinion you weren't how bad she beat up a rock through to the car hit him in the head

no it's got a big scar come on part of him she listen to me right right style all right style only in the story if you mastered the song in karaoke you have

nobody else actually knows she just I think they do. Which is important. It's very important story telling. She got the car. No, that's an important part of the story. She put up a rock.

She had enough arm strength to pat this car, throw this rock out of the car, go through the window, which was apparently open, hit him in the head to the point where he's got a big scar now. I mean, this is a classic quote. Quick move. Like this. Give her credit on this. And it was a righteous girl. He deserved it. He deserved it way more.

It needed to. It needed to count. Which is going to get. But the simple, I've always been amazing, like, the quickness of this girl's throw. Actually, you're right. Do it up a car. Hit him in the head, and now he's got a big scar. I mean, that's a good throw.

All right. Well, let me go back on what I just said, because it's an important part of the story, and I feel like they just ran through real quick. But they said it as though you're, like, feeling it as their way they're saying. She just made it happen that quickly. Hit him and hit him. This is the most important, and she nailed it. Nailed him.

Crazy. Which is like more evidence for her Because now he's got like the thing. All right, let's listen to the rest of the story. The next day she went to her drawer. Looked up her local. A dirty outlaw. Went to the phone and filed a police report.

And then she took the guy's eyes to fork the ball. Beginning of this always took me for a loop too. I got to be honest with the castle. Because in the beginning she says, the next day she went to her drawer. This woman went through fucking hell, dude. And went through a night. What do I do about this? So I think I finally got the courage in under 24 hours

where some women never get this. And I know I'm in my family because it's happened. And so I'm sorry women, do this. Take your ass into your fucking get a lawyer and take the ass. If you really have it and you know this happened to you, fucking do it. Because this story is terrible and you did not deserve stuff like this. This guy is a complete asshole. He fully had the ability to go in jail and cuss at this one.

The judge knew he was full of shit And he gave him 25 years And now his heart is fit Okay wait Just to be clear His argument in the courthouse was She lied that little slut That was what he said

That was his case That's all he said Did he even hire a lawyer? No, he represented himself Poor choice I gotta say I mean he's been a lot of poor choices At this whole song

Whoever the guy yeah And then the judge was like He knew he was full of shit The guy with the blue eyes And the double chin And that guy came and we were like, you know, he just ran in there. I thought that was going to win.

Judge looked at it like, are you fucking kidding me, dude? Get this guy the fuck out of here. Give him 25 years. I don't even care. Now his heart is filled with tears, which, I mean, what do you think of it? Yeah, you're going to cry in jail. You didn't have a lawyer. Why, you didn't bring a lawyer anyway?

You did this for this girl. Fuck off. You deserve what you're about to get. What night in jail is getting late. He was butt rapes by a large inmate and he screamed. God. Shit, dude. How are they not notice?

bad this song is I've never I've actually watched you do this in karaoke multiple times and I don't think I've ever actually realized like how bad it just keeps getting worse when night in jail was getting late he was butt-rate by enlarged me alarged me and the guard

paid no attention and he screamed the guard was like I don't get a fuck about that man oh my god this song means to just end you want to hear the moral of the story yeah it just needs to end there just the moral of the stories that's when things got out of control the moria does know now takes it

In the behind. Oh my God, dude. This song could have been... That's the way it had to be. It didn't need... I gotta say, it didn't need to be this way. The reason that we know this song today is because it slaps. Dude, like, it's a dope song.

The thing of it? It's such a cool. You don't need... We should remake this song. And make it not about rape. Yeah. I want this song to be about something dope. It's just the kind of song you can't play too much.

You gotta do it. It's kind of crazy, but like... Oh, man. Why does he got to sound so good? The beat is really good for as bad as what it's talking about. It's terrible. The day rape story, it does not pay to be drunk and horny. This guy went way beyond being drunk and horny, okay?

Can we just stop there? Like, even when I was young listening, I was like, he wasn't just drunk and horny. This man came in, didn't even get a drink. Ask the girl immediately, hey, you want to get in my new car? She was like, no. He was like, I'm buying a couple drinks. They bought a couple drinks. And that's way more than being drunk and horny.

This is a man that was absolutely going on a mission to do something that night and accomplished it and went to jail for it and got date raped or raped the rest of the next 25 years. They get all graphic on the other end. It's so much unnecessary detail. This was on the radio. So much unnecessary detail. Let's hear the moral story one more time. Immediately I'm sad that our listening audience has been cheated on the opportunity. opportunity to watch Justin do his

flapping it was sort of like a flapping wings drum dance while that song was playing it cheats it cheats the actual experience of the song because watching Justin get it to the song as it plays it's a great part of the experience the moral of the story the actual song as we've discussed

is absolutely depressing to talk about it's so bad we're going to go all angles with our dissecting by the way we're the dissecting DJs we don't we don't discriminate against songs so we're going to go into it, talk about it, and if we offend you, we didn't mean to. But you know what? We have to uncover

every stone. We have to uncover every stone. We got to flip every sandwich. We got to scour the entire island. Oh, I don't know what that was. Is that real big fish? Mighty, mighty. Mighty, mighty

bosstones, yeah. That was during that weird mid-90s scoffad that, like, when everybody got in all that. But that is it. We have dealt with one of many We've got to do it Sublime, date rape

I feel like we need to Do you ever want to hear me do karaoke? No, no, no, we need to leave this on a more like gracious tone Instead of just yelling about it That is it, deep rape Let's just, I don't know Let's just move on more like

Yeah, I don't know Anybody that's going to do that Is it watch out for those fucking guys You gotta be a damn weird Nice, yeah, be careful I mean That's a crazy song I can't believe they actually put on

popular radio. I can't believe they made that shit. I feel like that was a time period song. Like you wouldn't hear that shit now. Yeah, that'd be a hard. Like nobody, nobody would. You know what it was? They were doing that the same exact time

the NWA was coming out like with fuck the police and shit. Yeah. And they were able to slip in like under the radar. Yeah. Why would they make it about that? Hey, so with that said, ladies, Joe, Castle and I are actually going to get the instrumental of this song.

Okay. And we're going to create our own better. better song. Are we? Yes. We're going to figure this out because we can't be

having that good of a beat. Oh yeah, you're right. That's what we're going to do in the next that's the 2020 goal of ours.

We're going to knock it out. Somebody, sometime this year. It's just going to sound like the remake of day rape though. That song was already day rape forever to everybody. I know.

They fucked up. They fucked up. They've come up with it. Smart cats out. I think we can do it. I think we're smart enough. All right. All right.

All right. We got to figure out how many slaps this one gets, though. All right. Well, if I got to be honest, if you're thinking it as a dance song, if you're thinking as, you know, put it any kind of a general song here, it's not that good.

It's a great beat. But what it has to say, it's just depressing. So I'm going to go ahead and give it. Two and a late three. Two and a delayed three. Is that a new rating? Yeah, absolutely. Every time.

A delayed. Oh, shit. All right. I love reading. So it's three. So it's so versatile. That's amazing. I can fuck with that.

So yeah, two, delayed three. Claps for that song. All right, people are going to hate me on this one. I'm going to give it. A clap and a snap? A little bit of a delayed snap even at that. Delayed snap. I don't know.

Terrible song, though. Let me explain, honestly. Okay, I would say when the song originally comes out and you just take it for a piece of music, it's around a three and a half snap range. It's a great song, it's a fun beat. It definitely gets people moving. It's the reason that people were actually willing to put this

absurd. It's probably about a four then. Let me explain. That's why people were actually willing to put this insane piece of music on the radio in the first place because it slapsed. Let's not mess around on that. However, the fact that

the entire subject is about date rape, it takes it down at least two slaps for me. On top of that, the fact that it's been one of those songs that I don't know if anybody else to listen to K-Rock has seen this, but they've got about a 50 song base that you hear on repeat for years. And what K Rock does when they do that is they basically played all those

songs out. So they're just like a playout tube. So this one has that kind of played out stench a little bit, you know? So on that, it takes a doubt about another snap. So K Rock dropped it a snap for you? Dropped it a snap. The date rape thing dropped at about two slaps. And that's how we end up with a one slap and a delayed snap for me, you know? I'm sorry, sublime. Look, hey, I love the bed. I grew up listening to that album with the back tattoo thing that everybody else had in the 90s. At least they did around where I was from. I don't know.

You came up in a different area. I don't know if it was like that way. No, they did that too. Okay. Yeah, everybody had that album in the 90s. We all listened to it on end, which is another reason maybe all I kind of got played out. All of my favorite albums that I used to listen to when I was a kid are, you know,

a little bit played out. Let's be honest. So, yeah, it's got a little bit of that going on. But yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Bradley, no. Rest in peace. But why did you make a song about Day Rape, bro? Terrible.

could have easily avoided that. All right, well, enough talking about such a terrible subject. We gotta cleanse our stuff a little bit after that, I feel like, you know? We gotta, and the only way to do that is, I think, to throw on another jam. I agree. Are you ready? Next!
