"Wrong Way" is a song from Sublime's self-titled third album which fits squarely within the punk rock-inspired third wave ska movement of the 1990s.
The lyrical content of the song refers to the life of a girl, named Annie, who was forced into prostitution by her family of "seven horny brothers" and her "drunk ass dad." She is soon rescued from a life of prostitution by the narrator of the song. A video was made soon after the band's lead singer, Bradley Nowell, died.
The songs lyrics, though likely a coincidence, bear a small resemblance to the film Natural Born Killers, and several aspects of the video seem to reinforce this, such as the "psychological backdrop" used in the car scenes.
The song was featured in the video game Aggressive Inline.
Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine did a Lounge style version of this on his 2000 album called, "Lounge Against the Machine".
