in a perfect world NOFX would put out an all ska/reggae album. Or a compilation of all their ska/reggae songs on to one record. Call it the, "Gettin High on the Down Low" EP. damn i'm fucking stoned.
Hahah, this song is so true. I remember the last time I went there to visit relatives in the countryside two years ago. No running water; it had to be pumped, ants were crawling through the sugar container, people were allowed to carry machetes with them wherever they went, a lot of people there are ignorant fundamentalists and bigoted, the list goes on. If you ever go there, make sure you stick to the resorts lol
I'm part jamaican. Been there also, of course. Sadly, most of this shit is true. If you go... don't leave the resort. You'll like it better that way. :)
marie bozz no hes serious, Im part Jamaican too. My grandfathers gardener was chopped into tiny pieces and put all over the garden because he didnt know where the safe was, 3 of his neighbors have been executed by gangs, one of my cousins has been kidnapped, my aunt has had 6 cars stolen at gun point and 3 dogs shot.... Jamaicas alright.
NoFX #1 under rated song....New Orleans is alright if you like hurricanes...Coke is alright, if you like paranoia, Rehab is alright, if you are a quitter...
Jamaica easy top 5 of most racist places ive been together with Hungary, Russia, South Africa....my mate and me been going to all kinds of festivals once, twice a year for along time now. He is Indonesian, easy to see he's not white..im Dutch typically white covered in tattoos, half face fucked up bc bike crash, overweight, beard... ...we dont always fit in, that can create some problems, but that just adds to the adventure. But in Hungary (Metal festival) and Jamaica (Reggae festival) we really were worried for our safety ..... .to be fair 24 hours a day for days with mostly hippies around (Moon parties) is exhausting to , loved the drugs tho.
I kinda feel like there actually REAL problems in this world and worrying about what other people do, sexually, is a huge waste of time. I also dont get why religious people worry about it so much, if one believes in god, it seems to me like it would be between a gay person and god what that person did in their life. I have been called a homophobe before because i have expressed the view that i just dont give a shit about homosexuals. I cant be for or against something i dont care about.
@@joeroberts2156 yeah Kolonialism is still real just in Form of trading treadies in which the elite of poor countries sell their civilians lives,, food and other resources just for to fatten there own tummies. But we all are in it and supporting it just by buying tropical fruits, out of season produce, cheap meat and canned goods. Only if we invest in local or national produce we can help those ppl whoms lively hood we are wasting away for cheap.
You wouldn't piss them off.. I love reggae and this song is so true. Jamaica's alright but people there are geez like.. Less than 5% of jamaican people are rastafarians though :)
New York's alright If you wanna get pushed In front of the subway New York's alright If you like tuberculosis New York's alright If you like art and jazz New York's alright If you're a homosexual
Jamaica's alright, ooou ooou ooou Jamaica's alright, ahhh ahhh ahhh Jamaica's alright, (middle of a knife fight) Jamaica's alright Jamaica's alright, if you wanna get in the middle of a knife fight Jamaica's alright, if you wanna get AIDS or dysentery Jamaica's alright, if you wanna be mugged or murdered Jamaica's alright, if you're a misogynist, or a homophobe Jamaica's alright Jamaica's alright, if you only like one kind of music Jamaica's alright, if you like kiwi, bananas and spiders Jamaica's alright, if you wanna buy drugs from your hotel room Jamaica's alright, if you want your hand lopped off by a machete Jamaica's alright Jamaica's alright Jamaica's alright Jamaica's alright Jamaica's alright (Everybody now) Jamaica's alright, ooou ooou ooou Jamaica's alright, ahhh ahhh ahhh Jamaica's alright (Jamaica's alright) Thanks to joE for these lyrics Thanks to punkindrublic for correcting these lyrics Good music!!
Why? It's fact. The band booked a trip to Jamaica and wrote the song based off their experience there and sadly its still true today. Jamaicas alright if you can afford the resort. That being said I don't like Fat Mike so I'd do the same
Honestly I hate constant knowledge of hell badd the world's getting in all the economic and political circumstances I just sometimes like to feel myself and listen to a good punk rock song so I listened to this for a good haha time
I have been there twice both times I went to some sketchy areas where the cabbie told us to duck down in the cab, so we don't draw attention to us white guys
Wow, way to completely misinterpret everything I said. I made it perfectly clear that those lyrics are allegedly negative attributes of Jamaica (according to this song). I simply said that buying your drugs from a hotel room (one of the lines) is not negative. To answer your question: no, I don't enjoy getting in knife fights and getting my hand chopped off while listening to reggae, but I wouldn't mind having access to ganja right in my hotel room!
i cant get this shit outa my head the last two days wierd this is the only 7" of the month left for sale on fatwreck if this was the least favorite the must be wonderful
@camioazion Just because I'm white doesn't mean that I discriminate. My best friend is Mexican. Born in Mexico. Another one of my friends is black as night. You came to this video and talked some shit...what kind of response do you expect?
in 1994 i liked 311...i was 13!....when i started to listen to their actual lyrics i realized they are pretty boys and they make music for girls. heres a task: as 5 girls and 5 boys if they love 311...id put my house on it that the girls scream "omg i love peanut and nick hexum" and the boys would as you if you were gay.....ps 311 talk has no place in nofx land

I love the way they recorded this tune. And I love when fatmike makes fun of countries--its hilarious.

i would like to buy drugs from my hotel room
Ya gonna get ripped off. Have you listened the these lyrics? source--Me.
Vaca in FL we do that...
Wish i could from my bedroom 😅
Totally awesome song that highlights The Talent in the band. I love that tasteful blues guitar solo.
sounds like they didn't have the best of times in Jamaica...
This is the truth about Jamaica tho
Damhnaic true story, the shores are all tourist attractive and clean, inland is a fucking hole
Maybe, they didnt play there tooooo
Neither did The Clash, to judge by Safe European Home...

It's weird how most tropical places are more ruthless than big cities. Paradise isn't really paradise when you can't leave the resort.
It's not weird it's cos the CIA, yanks and euros fuck over black and brown countries

Italia alright if you like mafia (i'm italian lol)
Lago di Garda is alright if you like mosquito bites.
LMAO
Brasil alright!
Is it? Should I go?
Thought this would be like Fear's New York's Alright If You Like Saxophones. Turns out it was way off...
EvanLouKy it most definitely was inspired by it in concept, just not in sound, I mean look at what they did with straight edge.
Just lookup "LGBT rights in Jamaica" on Wikipedia....
lol
right, may not be "the most" but certainly it is on the top ones... =)
why do we have to accept a choice..?? i thought we had a RIGHT too..
of course, you have the RIGHT of NOT being gay if you dont want to =)
look it up while your ther, bud. maybe ask a local.
Bully's fears are of being bullied themselves or not being accepted. That or they enjoy the feeling of being dominant over other people...
i always think of nofx as bad religion's cocky little brother
Always i hear when i smoke gass
Oh yeah, giant spiders are nature's reminder that we are, in fact, just a bunch of little girls.
xD soo true
Bingo
You wouldn't piss them off.. I love reggae and this song is so true. Jamaica's alright but people there are geez like.. Less than 5% of jamaican people are rastafarians though :)
lol, nofx always making me smile.
This is not a strong endorsement of Jamaica.
I see what ur sayin
most brillant song ever written, yo.

Agreed

@Gurrier Hahahahahhahhahahaaaa!!!! Why didn't I think of that before you posted it. Class!!
I like this song, but it reminds me why I chucked that beer at fat mikes face when I saw them in Toronto.
+marie bozz because you're unable to accept fact?
Was it red stripe 😂
Why? It's fact. The band booked a trip to Jamaica and wrote the song based off their experience there and sadly its still true today. Jamaicas alright if you can afford the resort. That being said I don't like Fat Mike so I'd do the same

Good song, but you don´t fight ignorance with more ignorance and there is a lot of ignorance in this song
Brilliant! Making fun of Fears "New York's allright", anti-gay Reggae and of homophobes in general in just one song.
Indonesia is better, it's all here ... he .. he .. he ..
loves and hate with indo, pff
Acutally i hate indo
I have been there twice both times I went to some sketchy areas where the cabbie told us to duck down in the cab, so we don't draw attention to us white guys
I mean I carry a machete wherever I go, but it's mostly to fend off the traffic on the turnpike.
just realised this song is 4:20 minutes long.
game zhark yeah, but this song isn't about weed...
+MrMesarec and its actually 4:24...
*****
4 seconds of silence don't count
game zhark but it does
***** great response

Right there beside ya Buddie
Mexico's alright if you like cartels.
haha, have nofx been to jamaica?
anyway, it's a funny song with a good groove.
yeah they have. This song was literally written based on their experiences after going to Jamaica LMAO!
great song
i guess they don't really digg it there.
Pass the buck mentality, hey you got 62 people to give you attention. So you have that going for you, which is nice.

or you could just put all their ska/reggae tunes on one cd and pretend they put it out.
not everybody in jamaica is homophobe...
NOFX will always be my no.1 band🙌2023
I've been to Florida a few times. To be honest, not a huge fan of the place. Not to offend anyone from Florida.
I´m mexican and you´re right.
SANTUY
Finally got a bobsled team
@chizzerz i like both....but i prefer NOFX.
can you list them all for me bud?
Any reason the video is about 4:20?
Perhaps the U.S. can learn from the Jamacians.
Hmm I’m beginning to think Jamaica is in fact not alright
What is wrong exactly with buying drugs from your hotel room?
Punk and Reggea ....like WEED and alcohol ......dope
Cleber you are alright dude
@MrKaiKov Thanks for stating the obvious there chief.
new yorks alright if you like saxaphones
fast man at world in here
I didn't realize that Jamaican was a race now.
They played ska years before Anarchy Camp..
in 1994 i liked 311...i was 13!....when i started to listen to their actual lyrics i realized they are pretty boys and they make music for girls. heres a task: as 5 girls and 5 boys if they love 311...id put my house on it that the girls scream "omg i love peanut and nick hexum" and the boys would as you if you were gay.....ps 311 talk has no place in nofx land
You still sound like a 13 year old. We're splitting up music into "girl's" and "boy's" music now? What's next, colors? Grow the fuck up.
such a great song. :)
This is AMERICA.......you can say what u want.
2 people don't have a subwoofer and thought there was no sound
