"Date Rape" is a song by American ska punk band Sublime, originally recorded for their 1992 debut album, 40 Oz.
It was first released as a single in 1991,[3] but did not become a hit until four years later, when the Los Angeles radio station KROQ began adding it into their playlists and it quickly became one of their most requested songs.
Nowell and the other members of the band thought of it as one of their worst songs, often being reluctant to play it during live shows when fans screamed out requests for it.
The cover's video was directed by Renee Tod and Josh Fischel (of the band Bargain Music), the latter of which is the director of the Sublime documentary Stories, Tales, Lies & Exaggerations.
[citation needed] "Date Rape" is also featured in the soundtrack for the video game BMX XXX.
