Authority Song - Jimmy Eat World - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Jimmy Eat World's artistry is punk-pop personified, from their snappy, dynamic production to their anthemic, sing-along choruses that simultaneously feel universal and unique. Released in 2001 as part of the band's fourth studio album Bleed American, the meta-rock "Authority Song" comes hurtling through with an unbridled energy that makes several references to other pieces of music. Written by James Christopher Adkins, Richard E Burch, Thomas Darrell Linton, and Zachary Michael Lind, "Authority Song" includes nods to John Cougar Mellencamp ("Put my last quarter on / I'll play "Authority Song") and The Jesus and Mary Chain ("The DJ never has it / J.A.M.C. "Automatic") as they delve into themes pertaining to self-reliance, perseverance, and authenticity. Bleed American also spawned one of Jimmy Eat World's biggest and best-known hits: "The Middle," which was released as a single in June 2001.
