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".

That Bug Bit Me
by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
That bug bit me,
I'll admit
Stunned, it took a while to hit
But when it hit me,
I was bit
Shit, I came clean with it
No match, who am I
No match, who am I, so why try to deny it
Just a regular guy, who won't even try it
The bug's been around
Since time began
It's bitten bigger
Badder bastards than the one I am
It can cripple
And it can paralyze
When I felt it's tooth
I told the truth to my surprise
I saw the bug and I gotta say
Ah I tried to get away
I tried to run,
I tried to fight
But the bug was there to bite
No match, who am I?
Must respect the insect, it injects and infects
If i may interject, I love the effects
The bug's been around since time began
It's bitten bigger
Badder bastards than the one I am
It can cripple
And it can paralyze When I felt its tooth
I told the truth to my surprise
