Good Morning!
Today we’re listening to “Nino” by The Linda Lindas
You might recognize the band from their “Racist, Sexist Boy” track that made the rounds late last year. They’ve since opened for bands like Bikini Kill & Jawbreaker. All while still in school.
The kids are alright.
Nino’s subject matter is much lighter. It’s catchy-pop punk song about a cat. Good beat and catchy lyrics. All in under 2 minutes. Get in.
I have a cat
His name’s Nino
He’s a hunter cat
Killer of mice and rats
Nino Nino Nino the savage cat
Killer of mice and rats
Gentlemen by day
Hunter by night
Friendliest cat you’ll meet
Will protect you with all his might
Nino Nino Nino the savage cat
Killer of mice and rats
