ska and punk ran in Gwen's vein... after that they changed a lot and no doubt became an unrecognizable... good times with no doubt in the 90s, who played alongside sublime etc at same stage. She still a legend for generations.
True, but on the positive/realist side of things - nobody is the same person they were at 18-21 when they reach 30s, 40s, 50s, etc. I think it's totally natural that this happens for tons of bands and artists as they grow (beyond label interventions and just had decision making/money-hungriness) sometimes I don't care for the newer stuff but I respect the growth journey and know that those classic albums are still there forever to go back and enjoy ya know?
@@moodyinformed She chilled out with age, which was smart. How seriously would you take a 35-45 year old Gwen talking about the "skins" she hangs out with? She had this phase, her rock star phase and then her pop star era. She deserves it: she was a legit "cool" local hipster back in the day. More than you can say about most pop stars. Only other one I can think of is Madonna (who was somewhat deep in the NYC punk scene in the 70s). She's cool, let her be her.
There next album was a little more 80s post punk influenced with a lot of studio experimentation but there music was always a blend. The following album was heavily Dance Hall influenced I think unrecognizable is a bit of a stretch. The influence is always there.
I've been a No Doubt Fan since I was a little girl. I always loved Gwen's style and the music. She was one if the guys in a way but also had a girly side too. But I honestly never have heard this song. It poped up on Mt stuff because I had No Doubt playing. But I absolutely love it🤘🖤🎄🇮🇳💯
That describes gen x girls to the t... Badass cool anti establishment strong women who won't hesitate to kick guys in the 🍒 if they ask for it but don't lose touch with their feminine side... That's what it means to be a strong woman... Strong in her own way NOT a woman just trying to be a man 2.0 it's just swapping genders like rey, captain Marvel, Wanda, she hulk, that new Marvel series about a native American woman, etc who represent ALL millenial and gen z women... Gen x women RULE 🤘 PUNK ROCK FOREVER BABY
They all made lots of money. They are all excellent musicians and made magic together, but Gwen’s charisma and lyrics are what sold it. Otherwise we wouldn’t know No Doubt, and they’d be just another great jam band. Gwen didn’t sell out for money. She wanted to be a mother and try other things. She can control her schedule for her kids now. Very few bands last with the original members. It’s a hard gig with competing egos, creative differences, and personal obstacles. Even the Beatles only lasted 10 years. It doesn’t make them or their music any less iconic. Just appreciate the magic that was made.
@D Williams She covered On my radio in high scool at a talent show, No Doubt were part of the US ska scene before they hit the mainstream in mid 90's and even after that their music contained (although) small elements of ska and reggae.....a real ska band? Nah....but you cant deny that they were a part of that scene and their love for the music.
No doubt got sold out, they started back in 1986 I think, they really helped move the 3rd wave ska movement back then (like operation Ivy) , I miss the old gwen before she went B.A.N.A.N.A 🤣. I still love her even here newest no dought album. I just miss her more of the ska element old gwen. Makes you feel young forever. Love ya gwen, keep on dancing 🌠🌟💛✌️🤟😇😈👽
They used to play this song at my job, nothing is better than hearing a good ol' fashion "Jingle Bell Rock" followed by Oi To The World. Made my day everytime haha
OMG....Beautiful Gwen totally rocked the Semi Indian attire and the bindi on her forehead, the Indian jewellery... I think Gwen would look amazingly beautiful in anything she wears or does.... Love from yes, India. 😄👌👏👏😍
Meenakshi Banjan B She dated Tony Kanal, and in an interview, she mentioned that his family was Indian and his mother often gifted her bindis. East Indian culture is beautiful and she had mentioned that she loved it ❤️ A friend of mine is East Indian and when his wife was pregnant they had a celebration like baby shower. They had an outfit and sari for me to wear, choices , all from India. It was beautiful and an honor to be part of! I was even given jewelry to wear - and it was fun. The family enjoyed seeing that other cultures enjoyed theirs .
@@TheJenn75 Awwwww.... I get it now. Thank you very much for the update. Every culture has its own beauty, richness, an interesting story behind it etc....
I LOVE listening to No Doubt. They are a fun band with a great variety of musical arrangements and combinations of styles from album to album. No Doubt is a jump jazz, skank dance, classic vaudville, and popping music band from song to song. They change styles depending on the song.
Gwen Stefani looks a bit like Charlize Therone in this video. Looking foward to the new album.
When I saw her in Concert at the Rock Steady Tour…. Her vocals sounded just like the Record. Her Tone was 👌🎯💯👏🏽👏🏽🎶🎶 However, I wished I saw her in the Tragic Kingdom Tour, Return of Saturn. I was 18 when I saw her. I Looked up to her when I was 16, in 2000’s.
People are so rude , she wanted to experiment with a different genre, so what? This is a natural part of progression as an artist to experiment. Were you really expecting her to still act like a grungy ska teenager for the rest of her life?
Exactly!! A true artist always experiments with different sounds, people will always yap... if she stayed doing ska stuff they’d say oh she can’t do anything else! You can never make people happy
I got so many good memories with this version of gwen and the music back from the 90s. Sublime, Pennywise, Offspring, Me First, Lagwagon and the list goes on and on. God damn i miss those days.

1:30 -> that looks on his face almost like saying : wtf is happening? I have a wife and kids & just trying to make a living here. I don't want to involved in this altercation 🤣
I legitimately think No Doubt made this a funner song than the Vandals. The Vandals had too much of a straight forward punk sound. The great bass line in the beginning + the ska instrumentals give this a more joyous, even Christmasy, feel. Higher energy, too.
Of course, No Doubt had a big label paying for studio and time! Also, No Doubt's version was produced by The Vandals' guitarist Warren Fitzgerald so quit diminishing people's work.
I love all of Gwen's music. I know a lot of people arnt a fan of the pop version of gwen but atleast her music is better than some of these other artists.
Peter, I don't believe you are correct. Ska was present and received in the UK music world by the late 60's/early 70's. True, there was a revival in the 80's but it didn't just pop into existence in the UK. Example: “I should have invested in reggae because I never thought the Americans would get on,” stated Lennon. “The Beatles made an attempt at ‘ska’ - the middle - the sole on ‘I Call Your Name’ was ‘ska’ - deliberate and conscious.”

You dumbass this song was by Joe Escalante of the OG SoCal punk rock band the Vandals
He’s one mean hombre
There next album was a little more 80s post punk influenced with a lot of studio experimentation but there music was always a blend. The following album was heavily Dance Hall influenced
I think unrecognizable is a bit of a stretch. The influence is always there.
No doubt was always no doubt… Gwen changed it up when we went solo
This is just perfect: the sound, the message, the directing, the acting, and the editing!
Hearing Gwen singing in a British accent and saying things like "bag of crisps" really warms my heart. ♥️
my warmth is below my heart.
The original is the Vandals singing with a really exaggerated Cockney accent
She isnt singing with an accent lol
I always thought she said “ a nickel bag of crisp” thinking it was some kind of weed slang.
British accent is the shittest version of “English “ language ever , hate it , nobody can understand this shit
Gwen was so punk rock back then. I miss her. 😢
PUNK? Oh please.

If you liked this song, you should check out the original by The Vandals.
Probably my favorite No Doubt song, tied with Tragic Kingdom (the song)
One of the most '90s-sounding songs ever. (I absolutely love it)
Too bad it was made by a punk band lol
randyx007 Why?
randyx007 wtf
@@randyx007 its ska not punk
It’s a vandals cover.
Gwen's vocals and Tony's bassline breathed new life into the song!
I like both versions, I heard this one first: ua-cam.com/video/NfaExCKmA5c/v-deo.html
It's a fitting tribute but The Vandals version is far superior
The bass in this song is superb
I have been listening to this version non-stop. The music sounds lit, with layers of rock and ska-punk. By the way, 0:27 Gwen looked so stunning.
She has one of the best voices of the female rock singers. Jesus christ, what a woman.
I love current Gwen, but damn do I miss 90s Gwen. She is still an idol to me.
She’s gone a bit bunkers lettering her kid trans themselves up like some weirdo fashion accessory
@@YouT00ber nah, we dont do transphobia here
Same. I miss her with her band mates. Ska music was so fun. I still support the guys when they did that side project band with Davey Havok.
@@Badusername2000 🤣 "nah" 🤝
This video was definitely shot in 90's Tragic Kingdom days not Rock Steady 2000's... very cool to see them, hadn't ever seen this video before.
1997
+Jane Of All Trades Trapped in a Box days.
trapped in a box was from the first album. this was after tragic kingdom, their 3rd album.
It was in 1997.
Yep 97. I saw them that year. I remember it well ❤️
Terrific stuff. There's more to No Doubt than people think.
This is a cover of an old skinhead song by the Vandals.
I love this so much :). Tony Kanal is next level.
They did a good job keeping the feel of the original
Wish Gwen stayed like this. But I guess nothing can last forever 😔
I will always love and respect you all! What an amazing band!
Listening to No Doubt on repeat to prepare for their comeback at #Coachella 😎
How could I have missed THIS back then? So great!
Still sounds fucking brilliant oi.
This is not Oi. You need a lesson
I can't believe I never heard this song before, let alone seen the video.
I finally get to listen to this during the Christmas season. Good times.
I love her singing and style but the band has always played so tight they always held their own
It's too bad she dropped all of them when she started making $$$$
They all made lots of money. They are all excellent musicians and made magic together, but Gwen’s charisma and lyrics are what sold it. Otherwise we wouldn’t know No Doubt, and they’d be just another great jam band.
Gwen didn’t sell out for money. She wanted to be a mother and try other things. She can control her schedule for her kids now.
Very few bands last with the original members. It’s a hard gig with competing egos, creative differences, and personal obstacles. Even the Beatles only lasted 10 years. It doesn’t make them or their music any less iconic. Just appreciate the magic that was made.
Love's the way! Can't wait til everyone finds out to always love even people who are hated on.
God's for real. He's love.
Great to see another example of the fact that they were a ska band before anything else. LOVE SKA!

I shared this song from No Doubt to broadcast it on Radio Saint Affrique FM. Thanx a lot, long living to Rock 'n Roll, you're the welcomes.
Vandals wrote it and shared it with their tour mates No Doubt. Their guitar player produced No Doubt's version and we're stoked to share it.
Seen the vandals play it live. So much fun.
I only knew about the vandals version until right now.
which song? im just now finding this collection.
Drunk driving kills. Please...stay sober on the road! The life you save might just be your own!
Sadly 90’s will never come back 😔😔😔
Her singing "nick a bag of crisps" always cracks me up!
Those are the lyrics to the original version by The Vandals.
No doubt got sold out, they started back in 1986 I think, they really helped move the 3rd wave ska movement back then (like operation Ivy) , I miss the old gwen before she went B.A.N.A.N.A 🤣.

I love the visuals of this version. I wish The Vandals had made a video when they released the song.
I listen to the Vandals every year on Christmas, never knew this cover existed.
The only Christmas song I will never get tired of!
What about fairytale of New York?
damn right!
A Gun for Christmas
Xmas 2021!!!!
Check out Psychostick. They do some badass holiday songs and Helix doing Jingle Bell Rock is pretty good too
They can do anything , awesome band, everything they create
They didn't "create" this, it's a Vandals cover
The horns, bells and reggae feel just takes it to that level of INCREDIBLE!
No Doubt was and still being one of the most amazing bands int the whole world definitely!!! c:

Ska punk...
Punk ska is the best
OI!!! to the world and everybody wins!!!
Haris Tiro ska punk is the lowest form of punk, only a handful of bands can do it right, other than that it should remain dead
@@mennims Skunk?
Still have to watch this from time to time. One of my favorite "Christmas" songs
Great song. she's beautiful
My 10yr old daughter's fav version after the Vandals one. OI
A classic No Doubter Christmas Day tradition just like Six Feet Under on Birthdays.🎵🎄✌

There's likely never been a hotter woman than mid 90s Gwen
@MaddoxJamesLongoria Tomei sure, whoever that other woman is, you can have to yourself
Gwens look in the video is South Indian bride + punk rocker + a fisher woman. Only she could have pulled this off with that grace
I got so many good memories with this version of gwen and the music back from the 90s. Sublime, Pennywise, Offspring, Me First, Lagwagon and the list goes on and on. God damn i miss those days.
AllMightyMaze.... LAGWAGON!!! My favorite punk band OF ALL TIME!!!
I listened to a lot of mxpx and tooth and nail records bands.
🤘😎
I love it how Gwen looks like she had a Chelsea haircut. She would have been a very stylish Skinhead Girl. ❤️
This never gets old 🥰 I love you No Doubt
This is how you play instruments.. Band out of this world
I know this is a “Christmas” song but I can listen to this anytime of year
This band is so cool...
I love the Vandals and all but I like this cover better
Wow. Great to see these early tracks on here.
the best xmas song ever
OI! From Brazil! We are all the same! No prejudice! Skins and Punks forever!
Back in the days when music videos were on the level like school projects but still it's the message that counts
My new favorite No Doubt song/video.
No Doubt are the only people who can make a Christmas song sound summery.
This is a cover of a Vandals song
There friends of the Vandal's and borrowed there song
One of the very rare good/punk songs that they made
Always a Christmas girl 🎄❤️
im in love and obsessed with this band omg

@@jeffclarke6219 Its not better at all.
What about the kinks father Christmas?
Jeff Clarke I have, I know it’s the original and it’s good, but I prefer the ska style of No Doubt :)
This is their best song by far
Haji was a punk just like any other boy
And he never had no trouble till he started up his Oi band
Safe in the garage or singing in the tub
Till Haji went too far and he plugged in at the pub
'Twas a cold Christmas eve when Trevor and the skins
Popped in for a pint and to nick a bag of crisps
Trevor liked the music but not the unity
He unwound Haji's turban and he knocked him to his knees
If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what he'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins"
Haji was a bloody mess, he ran out through the crowd
He said "We'll meet again we are bloody but not unbowed"
Trevor called his bluff and told him where to meet
Christmas Day on the roof down at 20 Oxford Street
If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what he'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins"
On the roof with the nun chucks Trevor broke a lot of bones
But Haji had a sword like that guy in Indiana Jones
Police sirens wailing, a bloody dying man
Haji was alone and abandoned by his band
Trevor was there fading and still so full of hate
When the skins left him there and went down the fire escape
(Oi, Oi)
And then Haji saw the north star shining more then ever
So he made a tourniquet from his turban saving Trevor
They repelled down the roof with the rest of the turban
And went back to the pub where they bought each other bourbon
If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what he'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins"
If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what he'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins"
(Oi, Oi)
Thanks for the lyrics, that was really sad. Bloody arses
i always got a bit of a brit punk rock vibe from this one :)
it's a cover of a vandals song, a punk band.

Nah, Vandals version is a timeless classic. This is just record label pap.
Ok, sorry, but seeing how cute she is at the end with Tony melts my heart…. 🥺
I love all of Gwen's music. I know a lot of people arnt a fan of the pop version of gwen but atleast her music is better than some of these other artists.

i miss this.
Great music by the band, silly video, fun times, but Gwen was so PERFECT she overshadows everything. :)

Word.
Peter, I don't believe you are correct. Ska was present and received in the UK music world by the late 60's/early 70's. True, there was a revival in the 80's but it didn't just pop into existence in the UK.
Example: “I should have invested in reggae because I never thought the Americans would get on,” stated Lennon. “The Beatles made an attempt at ‘ska’ - the middle - the sole on ‘I Call Your Name’ was ‘ska’ - deliberate and conscious.”
We miss you Gwen 😔
