“The story I heard is that had to call up the radio stations and ask them to stop playing the song so they could get to the third single,” Leary says. “Santeria” became a huge hit for Sublime, spending over a year on the charts, which ultimately messed with the rest of the self-titled album’s release cycle. It’s a blue-beat reggae song on its surface and a classic country song in essence, something. Gaugh, Sullivan and Leary also discussed Eric Wilson’s bass-playing on the song, as well as how Nowell struggled over the guitar part before an accidental note created the now-iconic solo. Santeria, Sublime’s breakthrough single, served as most people’s introduction to the band. The producer and engineer also praised the Gaugh’s “magic” that he created while playing “Santeria,” while noting that his butt crack was visible throughout the song’s recording. 'Santeria' is a song from the Sublime's third self-titled album, released in 1996. “And ‘Santeria,’ my memory, largely that was it.” “We had all the trappings of a big thing,” Sullivan says We had drum techs, we had guitar techs, so they had all the opportunities to be slow and assembly-based, but what happened was we would just wait for the right moment, when Bradley would feel it, and just go,” Sullivan says. Although the song was released after the death of lead singer Bradley Nowell, 'Santeria' along with 'What I Got' are often considered the band's signature songs. The song was released as a single on January 7, 1997. After nearly burning down the studio in a sauna-related accident, work continued on the song. 'Santeria' is a ballad by American ska punk band Sublime from their third self-titled album (1996). “We were kind of stumped and having trouble working out which arrangement we wanted to work through,” Gaugh says. When Sublime finally entered the studio, they revisited a track they’d recorded for their 1994 indie LP Robbin’ the Hood, the instrumental “ Lincoln Highway Dub.”
