Slightly Stoopid Songs Ranked
Slightly Stoopid is an American band based in the Ocean Beach neighborhood of San Diego, California, who describe their music as “a fusion of folk, rock, reggae and blues with hip-hop, funk, metal and punk.” As a band, they have released thirteen albums (four live), with their ninth studio album entitled Everyday Life, Everyday People on July 13, 2018. The band was originally signed by Bradley Nowell from the band Sublime to his label Skunk Records while still in high school. In 1994, Slightly Stoopid was formed in Ocean Beach, California by Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald, both childhood friends, as well as high school friend and drummer Adam Bausch. Sublime front man Bradley Nowell was staying with Doughty’s nurse mother and doctor boyfriend in their drug rehabilitation program when he stumbled across the band. After waking up one morning, he overheard the band practicing in the garage and was impressed, asking them to perform in Long Beach, California at the Foot Hill Tavern. Nowell shortly after signed them to his label Skunk Records while the members were still attending high school. In 1996 the band released their first studio album, the punk-tinged Slightly $toopid (featuring a guest appearance by Nowell on the song “Prophet” – later covered by Sublime and released on their box set, Everything Under the Sun) and 1998’s surf-inspired The Longest Barrel Ride. Here are all of Slightly Stoopid songs ranked.

10. Don’t Care (Closer to the Sun, 2005)
“This song’s vocal melody and chords combination reminds me of some old african chants. Great vibes coming from this jam! Can’t help but to dance to this track! Kyle killin it on the bass and beautiful lyrics!”
9. Wiseman (Everything You Need, 2003)
“I think the meaning of this song is that the man that thinks hes a fool is wiser than a man who doesn’t. The real fool is the one who thinks he controls is destiny. By thinking he is in control he doesn’t practice any humility in his life and relies only upon himself. The man that knows he doesn’t have all the answers to life is the much wiser person. Knowledge is really knowing that you don’t know!!!!!! If you believe you have all the answers like the man who doesn’t feel hes a fool you have a big ego and it makes you to cool for yourself. “
8. Collie Man (Everything You Need, 2003)
“To me, the Collie Man in this song is life itself; fate is like an iffy dealer, sometimes it has good bud, sometimes bad, he says he only wants the collie man to come by with sensi herb, meaning both literally herb and metaphorically happiness as he wants life to bring him peace, he hasn’t been lately, and he just wants someone to come through with that happiness he’s been looking for.”

6. This Joint (Closer to the Sun, 2005)
“The bass line on this song is sick…and even though I have no idea what the lead singer is saying, he’s got a great reggae voice. One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”

4. Somebody (Closer to the Sun, 2005)
“This song, whoa. It’s amazing. He says “And if you’re thinking that you need someone new You’ll have to wait and see because you know you need somebody” meaning okay, yeah you want somebody different. But find them before you leave the one you have. And talking about if your mother only knew part, is saying that your opinions are based on real things, and sometimes parents honestly just can’t understand.”
3. Prophet (Acoustic Roots: Live & Direct, 2004)
“If Bradley were alive today he would be proud of slightly stoopid and be proud of how far they have come as a band. The music SS continues to make and the vibes they bring along with that music is something to cherish always!”
2. Mellow Mood (Everything You Need, 2003)
“This is such pure music. Music that can make you feel actually high has some real emotion behind it. I cannot stand today’s popular music after being exposed to this.”
1. Closer to the Sun (Closer to the Sun, 2005)
“Put on this song whenever I feel low and need some perspective. Great to toke with this in the background to help you make sense of it all. Life is a long, strange trip, folks! Enjoy the ride because we are only here for a brief moment in the wind…”
