Ok here's the deal, my sister used to have this mix tape some years ago that i would listen to every now and then, and it has a song on it that had to do with some guy gettin angry and a shotgun, and i remember it was pretty sweet, but i can't remember much of anything else about it.

i know this isn't much to go on, but if anyone knows the song i'm talkin about, any input would be appreciated.

From what i remember, it was third wave ska, and i'm thinkin the guy in the song was called Shotgun somethin, maybe "Shotgun Johnny" or somethin of the sort

Yeah i know its not much to go on, but i thought i would give it a shot and se if anyone knew what i was talkin about. My sister did remeber a line from the song: "Shotgun Jimmy runnin around, shotgun Jimmy shootin up the town." and at the end of the song it repeats "shotgun" alot at the end of the song.

It could be "shotgun Jimmy" by the Insteps, which was on the compilation "Ska: the third wave".

I think MonsieurBiz is right. That song has nearly identical lyrics to the ones your sister remembered:
"Shotgun Jimmy always runnin' around..."
