I listened this one for hours when I barely understand english. It is awesome listening it now and the lyrics are so much fun ... man this is pure gold
This band and Mighty Mighty Bosstones are by far my favorite Ska bands. The sudden rhythm changes from fast to slow, then incoming horn section with reggae styled rhythm guitar behind the horns makes it appealing to me and I'm not sure why. It just puts me in a good mood.
@@poppyalmanzar3234 Yeah, NOFX. Eat the Meek. Perfect example of a ska band that can be totally reggae if they wanted to. Better than Jake is another band like these who I've just been introduced to. "The Art of Selling Yourself Short".
Still remember when these guys came to my home town. They refused to play outside in a light rain. The crowd grew angry. They spray painted "Real Big F*****s" on the side of their bus. Good times.

Penny boards aren't bad.. I don't have one don't care to.. but if you are just cruising it's a classic and great for transportation.. can get more speed and turn faster based on bigger wheels and short wheel base. Not everyone who skates has to take stairs and rails..

This is actually a really sad song when you pay attention to the lyrics. Especially the last verse: "Baby don't you sign that paper tonight she said but i cant work in fast food all my life" His girl basically tells him not to sign the contract because she knew the record company would ruin his passion for music and he could find another way to be successful but he dismisses what she says because he doesnt want to work at a dead end job his entire life (possibly because he loves his girl and wants to provide a good future for her which explains why he constantly mentions theyre gonna give him alot of money and has to reassure himself that everything will be alright)
Had a dream last night that i was at a festival and met these mofos. They played this song first and added verses that painfully explained everything. Twas lit af but still kinda sad
I think the lyrics could be better. The instruments definitely sound better than the lyrics in this song. It would have been better as an instrumental than what they came up with.
I’ve been a huge fan of RBF for like 2 decades, and watching this now I realize I don’t think I’ve ever seen it! I kinda swore this song off for years bc it was their popular song, but I realized that was stupid when I got older, it’s just a damn good song. I’ll never understand how they didn’t have other hits, especially off cheer up.
I finally got to see these guys live back in July at Warped. I've not had that much fun at a show in a long time. Aaron is hilarious, and the energy was insane.
Met these guys in germany at a show like 20 years ago. They were cool af and all signed my heineken hoody I was wearing. I was like damn now I cant wear it anymore so they gave me a free one from the merch booth. Still got it and will never forget how nice they were.

Because of that, when I hear this song it reminds me of Alexi Lalas

Thanks to Funhaus, me and 44 other people know about Reel Big Fish now!

daniel hardy thats interesting but have you heard that reggae actually came after ska?
Corey Ryan thank you Bruce
Corey Ryan dude wow me to wtf
daniel hardy there are 3 waves of ska, sublime kinda kicked off the 3rd wave then we saw bands like RBF,LTJ,e.t.c.

Same, but im pretty sure it's still ironically.
I discovered Funhaus because of reel big fish

Same
That’s where I got the song from
Same here, what a track, dont know how a kids game has this song but otherwise Ill probably never find this gem
FIFA 00.
Yea
I actually heard this while shopping in Walgreens yesterday. I almost started dancing in the aisle.
Lulu F. Next Time Dance.Thank you
I will dance with you if I hear it.
I danced in shop n save all the time! but they sold out and sold all of their stores to Schnucks and they don't play good music. Oh the irony

I am over-filled with joy at the amount of Funhaus references. Not to mention, song adds to that enjoyment greatly.
Reel Big Fish most popular song being about selling out is just amazing. It's honestly peak 90's: The Decade when rebellion became comodity
“Everyone knows my name!!! It’s Aaron Barrett!”
Came for the Funhaus, stayed for the Darren Barrett.
