Cover art for Croakies and Boatshoes lyrics by Between the Buried and Me

My roommate just heard me say the name of this song, and explained to me that Croakies is a company that makes oars, and boatshoes are shoes you wear when rowing. I guess they're making fun of the fact that crew is a pretty preppy sport.

actually a croaky is a strap you put on your sunglasses so they can hang around your neck. I go to a prodomenantly preppy school and most of the frat kids and ritch douchebags wear them on their sunglasses, aswell as boatshoes on their feet, even if they dont do crew.

So wait, you're saying that the "cool" kids wear straps on their sunglasses??? That must be the most uncool thing you can do! Why do they rich kids wear them?
