The song "Calico (Emo Rocksteady Cover)" by Glass Beach and Skatune Network revolves around the story of a stray cat that enters the protagonist's backyard. The lyrics describe the actions of the protagonist, who finds the cat and picks it up from the ground, cradling it in their arms. They affectionately kiss the cat on the head and tell it that it is a lucky boy or little calico. The repeated phrase "You're not gonna leave him alone" suggests that the protagonist is determined to provide care and love for the stray cat, ensuring that it will not be abandoned or neglected. The song showcases a blend of emo and rocksteady genres, combining emotional lyrics with a rhythmic music style. The cover version by Skatune Network brings a ska twist to the original song by Glass Beach.
