"Is This It" played an important role shifting the popular music sound in the early 2000s to a guitar rock sound that drew from the past while incorporating modern style as well.

Upcoming New Strokes Album

In 2010 members of The Strokes have mentioned that they are working on material for a new album and indicated they intend to release a new Strokes album soon.

A bit of humor.

Here is a little joke, playing on the sexual desires of inanimate objects, or something like that.

If you've ever wondered what might be on the mind of a bag of chips while around a battery, perhaps the chips were feeling a little frisky and the battery looked like it might be up to the task, well it might go something like this.


What did the bag of chips say to the battery?






If your EverReady I'm FritoLay!

Do you have the time?

You could ask Sublime.

They might say "Do I have?"

"I'll tell you 'What I got' so I will."

What I Got - Lyrics

What I Got
By: Sublime



Early in the mornin'
Risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette
And I'll strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason
Reason things went wrong.
Got to find the reason why my money's all gone.

I got a dalmation
I can still get high.
I can play the guitar like a mother fucking riot.

{{Guitar Solo}}

Life is too short so love the one you got
Cause you might get run over or you might get shot.
Never had to battle with my bulletproof vest.
Never start static I get it off my chest.
Take a small example, a tip from me,
Take all of your money and give it all to charity.
Love's what I got, within my reach
The Sublime style still straight from Long Beach
It comes back to you you're gonna get what you deserve.
Try and test that, you're bound to get served.
Love's what I got, don't start a riot,
You feel it when the dance gets hot, hot.

Lovin',
is what I got,
I said remember that.

Lovin',
is what I got,
I said remember that.

Why I don't cry when my dog runs away.
I don't get angry at the bills i have to pay.
I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot,
Hits that bottle and goes right to the rock.
Fuck it or fight it, it's all the same.
Livin' with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane.
Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me.

Lovin',
is what I got,
I said remember that.

Lovin',
is what I got,
I said remember that.

Lovin',
is what I got,
I said remember that.

Lovin',
is what I got,
I said remember that.
Lovin',
is what I got,
I said remember that.

Lovin',
is what I got,
I said remember that.

Lovin',
is what I got,
I said remember that.

Lovin',
is what I got,
I said remember that.

Comparisons

Some people have pointed out that the tune to "What I Got" is very similar to the tune of the Beatles song "Lady Madonna," this is not known to be intentional on the part of Sublime, the songs it seems just have similar melodies.
