Music Appreciation
Released on June 8, 1993 as a single from the album "Saturation," Urge Overkill's Sister Havana is a standout track with a cool guitar riff that represents the band's unique sound that combines elements of punk, glam, and garage rock. The song's lyrics tell the story of a man who is infatuated with a woman named Havana.
The music video, which was directed by Paul Andresen and George Dougherty, features the band driving and playing in various locations around Little Havana, Miami. There is even a scene of them riding in the Everglades.
In an interview, band member Eddie "King" Roeser implied that the song may have had an unintentional political statement, "In hindsight, you can see it as Urge's first foray into geopolitics. The protagonist, Urge, or the US, is trying to woo the woman, who could be Cuba."
