Mr. Smiley
Mustard Plug Lyrics
I remember how it used to be,
and all the things you said to me.
You always taught me right from wrong.
(Wrong from right, right from wrong)
'Til you went on the killing spree,
and killed your family.
Why is this the way things have to be?
Oh Mr. Smiley,
how could it be true,
the things they say that they knew?
I can't believe it! What has happened to you?
I took my time while thinking it through.
Digging through facts, believing in you.
Oh Mr. Smiley. Give me a clue,
why they said it was you,
I can't accept it! Tell me it's not true.
Because you were once so good to me,
oh Mr. Smiley tell me how it could be.
You always had a smile on your face,
I never thought you'd become a criminal case.
Until I saw your face on my TV.
Was it just for entertainment?
Because now you face solitary confinement, in jail.
Why is this the way it has to be? Tell me!
Oh Mr. Smiley, what has happened to you? Tell me it's not true!

my dad showed me this when i was a kid and it became a whole thing for my family. i'm 25 now and i still put this music video on at every party i go to and everybody goes fuckin mental for it. absolute class man. hope yous got a damn good grade on this because it's iconic, a staple in both my childhood and my musical vocabulary.

1 week all together. 1 day to pre-plan, 3 10-12 hour days shooting 3 days to edit....We didn't know they saw it until we went to a show and talked to Dave and gave him some DVDs of it and told him we made it and he was like holy shit that was you guys and we talked to him for awhile about it he was pretty stoked that he got to meet us.

Gotta give thanks to Mustard plug and you dude! Seriously this is a song my brother and I talk about on the phone randomly. I showed him the video years ago and he fell in love with this! He always joked about how I’m Mr.Smiley . He’s been a gang member since I was 12 and he was 13. I always tried to convince him to leave but now he’s in prison facing 50 years to life for defending himself when a rival gang tried to kill him he shot them instead. I wish he would’ve been into punk like me and none of it would have happened and no one would’ve been hurt. Idk why I’m sharing so much but life changes in an instant! However, your video for this song is one of many songs I play over the phone for him so he can escape the hell that is prison. After all of this I think he’s more of a MR.SMILEY than I am.
Well, cheers 🍻

Man. I wish more people had an appreciation for ska music. Over ten years ago I used to skate my way to high school listing to some funky tunes. Long for those days.

@Notorious Jester not gonna lie, fortnite has way more substance than I would have ever imagined but people don't pay close enough attention to it.
Thats actually a perfect analogy.
But in hindsight that was a comment two years ago vs now
Dave Crupel
This is ska?
I always thought this was punk.

Sad to say this, our society isn't fun enough to enjoy ska anynore
