Formed in 1985, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones started playing in Boston clubs in the mid-1980s. After a brief period of inactivity due to the schooling commitments of its members, they reformed and released their album Devil's Night Out on Taang! Records. The Bosstones toured relentlessly throughout the 1990s, playing hundreds of shows a year, releasing albums and spinning off the popular rock radio hit "Someday I Suppose". They were eventually signed to Mercury Records. The band appeared in the movie Clueless. In 1997, the success of their single "The Impression That I Get" and its follow up, "The Rascal King" earned them mainstream recognition. In 2000 they put out their critically acclaimed disk Pay Attention. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones released their last album on Side One Dummy Records. They officially went on hiatus in 2003, citing too much time on the road and desire to branch out and do different things. In 2007, the Bosstones announced that they were reforming. They played their 10th Hometown Throwdown in Boston and released a new album, Medium Rare, which consists of rare B-sides, and 3 new songs, including the single, "Don't Worry Desmond Dekker".

The Daylights
by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Darkness scared the daylights out of me last night
But by the grace of God I had a goal
To make it to the middle of the morning light
And safety saving sanity and soul
Do everything that we want to do
Try everything there is to try
There's nothing out there stopping me or you
Do everything before we die
Sanity worth saving well I'm not so sure
A soul is somewhat suitable to save
Feelings I had felt from falling on the floor
Good God I'm getting ready for the grave
The hour was the witching one when I first felt
The power of the darkness I was in
Triple six gun shooters in the bible belt
Something took me somewhere where I had never been
Do everything that we want to do
Try everything there is to try
There's nothing out there stopping me or you
Do everything before we die
It takes a rude awakening from time to time
Like the one that scared the daylights out of me
To make you take a look and shake you when you should be shook
And take you to the place that you're supposed to be
Do everything that we want to do
Try everything there is to try
There's nothing out there stopping me or you
Do everything before we die
Do everything that we want to do
Try everything there is to try
There's nothing out there stopping me or you
Do everything every thing
Every little thing
Let's do everything before we die.
