Notes In 1995, Date Rape became the first single to flood the radio nationwide.  This coming 3 years after the release of 40 Oz. and 7 years after the song was written.  The song shot like a rocket to the top of the charts and became one of the driving factors behind Sublime's rise in popularity.  The band could never figure out why suddenly after so long the song became super popular.

Porn star Ron Jeremy plays two roles in the video for Date Rape -- the Judge that sentences the rapist (played by Korn Doggy Dog's own Z-man) to prison, and the "large inmate" in the clink.

 

Let me tell you about a girl I know
Had a drink about a hour ago
Sitting in a corner by herself
In a bar in downtown L

She heard a noise and she looked through the door
And saw a man she'd never seen before
Light skin, light blue eyes
A double chin and a plastic smile

Well
Her heart raced as he walked through the door
And took an empty seat next to her at the bar
"My brand new car is parked right outside.
How'd ya like to go for a ride?"

And she said
"Wait a minute I have to think."
He said, "That's fine. May I please buy you a drink?"
One drink turned into three or four
And they left and got into his car
And drove away someplace real far

Now babe the time has come
How'd ya like to have a little fun?
And she said,
"If we could only please be on our way
I will not run."

That's when things got out of control
She didn't want to
He had his way
She said, "Let's Go"
He said, "No Way!

Come on babe it's your lucky day.
Shut your mouth, were gonna do it my way.
Come on, baby don't be afraid,
If it wasn't for date rape I'd never get laid."

He finished up and he started the car
He turned around and drove back to the bar
He said, "Now baby don't be sad.
In my opinion you weren't half bad."
She picked up a rock, threw it at the car,
Hit him in the head, now he's got a big scar
Come on party people won't you listen to me
Date rape stylee

The next day she went to her drawer
Looked up her local attorney at law
Went to the phone and filed a police report
And then she took the guy's ass to court

Well
The day he stood in front of the judge
He screamed,
"She lies -- that little slut!"
The judge knew that he was full of shit
And he gave him twenty-five years
And now his heart is filled with tears

One night in jail it was getting late
He was butt raped by a large inmate
And he screamed
But the guards paid no attention to his cries

That's when things got out of control
The moral of the date rape story
It does not pay to be drunk and horny

But that's the way it had to be
They locked him up and threw away the key
Well I can't take pity on men of his kind
Even though he now takes it in the behind

But that's the way it had to be
They locked him up and threw away the key
Well I can't take pity on men of his kind
Even though he now takes it in the behind
