Glad You're Gone - The Mopes

Glad You're Gone - The Mopes
2:50
Accident Waiting To Happen, 1999
Written by the Mopes

Hey!  Recently some loser reaped what he sowed through his speech and actions!  Maybe more chickens will come home to roost.  Maybe, but probably not.  Karma isn't real.  ANYhoo, this gloriously primitive pop-punk song is a proud kiss-off to an old flame.  The narrator is over it, and no more love lingers.  "And now I put thoughts of you behind me / I realize that you were cold and slimy."  Well put, Mopes!  The Mopes were a short-lived band comprised of members of Screeching Weasel, the Queers, and Squirtgun.  Why this retro-surf-punk languishes in semi-obscurity while the extremely similar Green Day took over the world, no one can say.
