The 10 best Boston references on the new Dropkick Murphys album

Hell yeah.

The line minor threat at taang originally bugged me because I heard it as minor threat ON taang which would have been dead wrong. Tho taang didn't open a retail front until they moved to san Diego I don't think. My best guess is I think ken Casey is, somewhat weirdly, conflating taang and Newbury comics retail fronts.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
