I don't see the Less Than Jake version from the first Good Burger movie, but this remix is legit really good too, so I don't mind picking this one in its place. I miss the golden age of weird TV. Obviously when Good Burger came out I didn't know who Less Than Jake was, so when I started getting in to ska with Less Than Jake in my early teenage years, imagine the delight and joy I experienced to find out that it was them! I love how this sketch comedy show I watched when I was very young went on to have a movie and that movie has a key connection to my musical tastes.

And before someone comes at me with "Melanie, what do you think of the line 'She's a dude' since you are a trans woman?," I want to say the context of dude's meaning is fluid and I can safely say that the term dude here is all inclusive. "We're ALL dudes, hey!" I've said "dude" my whole life and very rarely has the context ever been "person who identifies as a boy." Dude can be gender neutral. Dude can also be very gendered, no doubt. Context matters. How someone receives it matters, regardless of intent or context. If that line makes you uncomfortable: I fucking get it. You're not wrong. Everyone has their own views on it, and I only speak for me. My goal is to only call people what they are comfortable being called, full stop.
