Song of the Day 6/14: The Offspring, “Come Out and Play”

More commonly known as “Keep ‘Em Separated,” this tune became a rock radio classic soon after its 1994 release. Dexter Holland, lead singer of the LA-based punk-pop group, wrote it in response to gang violence, but the chorus fits today’s police riots just as well. The song paved the way for the band’s “Smash” LP to sell 16 million units, the best-selling indie-label release ever.
