4) Mitchell is punk rock band from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Influenced by classic punk bands like The Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag and The Misfits, Mitchell rose from the ashes of Paul Goodno and Dustin Anderson's 2-man punk/metal band super*room*sedative. Looking for a fuller sound and a way to jam live, Dustin and Paul recruited their old college friend Jay Kincer to play bass. During the initial jam the trio clicked and recorded a cover of the Sex Pistols classic Holidays In The Sun. Feeling good about the track and wanting to jam more the trio began to work on tracks for a full length album. After a few months of writing and jamming, the boys set up shop in Dustin's home studio and laid down the foundation for their debut Small Mouth Bass. Over the next few years the boys would record several more albums and play an aggressive live show schedule around western Michigan building a loyal fan base. Mitchell is a true punk rock band. Nothing fancy, just a case of PBR, some MST3K movies and a stack of amps. Current members are Dustin Anderson: Vox/Guitar, Jay Kincer: Bass/Vox, Paul Goodno: Drums/Vox.

Mitchell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

First you fill your cup and drink it up
Slide to the left the right and giddy up
And keep boozin up until you're feelin right
That's the only way to do the alcoholic slide

Drink up drink up drink up drink up
Get high get high get high get high
Drink up drink up drink up drink up

And get high because we do the alcoholic slide

That's right baby we get piss drunk and we dance
From the left to to the right
And we don't care who's lookin
Just grab a partner and do your thang

All these TikTok dances well I've had it up to here
I'd rather smoke some stems and drink a shitty beer
You see I want to get lit chiquitas want to get turnt
So I suggest you homies listen cause today you're going to learn
So first you grab your wranglers and you put them on real tight
You want to make damn sure your package bulging to the right
And then go the cowboy boots make the girlies go insane
And we don't need no fucking shirt let the belly hang
To top it off you got a cowboy hat and a bottle of jack in your hand
And a solo cup in your other hand you want to fill up again
And the next step is just drink a lot matter of fact get faced
And now you're hella ready for an alcoholic race

First you fill your cup and drink it up
Slide to the left the right and giddy up
And keep boozin up until you're feelin right
That's the only way to do the alcoholic slide

Drink up drink up drink up drink up
Get high get high get high get high
Drink up drink up drink up drink up
And get high because we do the alcoholic slide

Aye no cap this is stupid

Aye aye cowboys don't roll joints they tumble weed
Shut up
