| Song |
"S.O.B." is a song by American rock band Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats. It was released as the lead single from their self-titled debut album. The song gained exposure after the band performed it on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show on August 5, 2015.[1]
Content
Rateliff told Rolling Stone that the song is, at heart, a troubled song about drinking your life away after a break-up.[2] He also told BBC that the song is a "joke song" and originally his band didn't plan to record it, but due to positive reception, did so and released it as a single.[3]
Music video
The music video was released on July 15, 2015.[4] It was directed and edited by Greg Barnes, and produced by Melissa Giles. The video depicts Nathaniel Rateliff and his band performing the song in front of an audience of prisoners and is an homage to the end credits scene of the 1980 film The Blues Brothers.
Usage in media
In late May 2016, "S.O.B." was featured on Lipton's iced tea commercials.[5]
