I was feeling that fast ska groove, made me want to break out the whole rude boy ensemble and hit the dance floor. Used to do ska and swing in high school, then both East and West Coast swing and Lindy Hop in my 20s. For your next ska song you should check out Madness - One Step Beyond. It's the gateway to ska for a ton of people.
Sublime are goated , rip Bradley . Their music never seems to get old for me . May I recommend the next ska song , 'Total hate 95' by No Doubt featuring Bradley Nowell also . Fun fact Bradley's part of this song was an off the top of his head one take .
DANG....................SUBLIME TOO...............another of my all time favorite bands................ bradley had music in his bones and everything he did was gold.................
Sublimes rhythm section definitely had some jazz roots. The bass player, Eric and drummer, Bud grew up in the same neighborhood. Eric grew up with a father who was a jazz drummer and thats who taught Bud to play drums.
Except they only have 1 or 2 songs that are totally original. This song much of the melody/rhythm is based on The Specials, It's Up To You, Specials (1979) Bradly was very good at musical collage and had a wealth of knowledge about reggae but they weren't writing a lot of music. For the record I love sample based music and "musical collage" and consider it just as valid as other forms of music. But most don't know how much Sublime borrowed from others.
5:33 - "Welcome to the Circus of Ska, three rings and seventy years of musical Madness! Under the big top we have the Island Getaway that has a Way of Getting us to Dance - the 50's roots in Jamaica! Jamaican me crazy! Be sure to try out the Carnival Ride - The Windrush! Caribbean away a load of passengers, we give thanks to Lords Woodbine, Kitchener, and Beginner! Try some of our Skinhead Sweets and enjoy the S.H.A.R.P. special if you say today's magic phrase: 'SkinHeads Aren't Racist P-..." Oh, and remember, the NP gets No Play! For you 80s Punks, check out the Punko Pops! And remember you get 90% off all 90's revival merchandise!"
this song and a few others remind me too much of moving out of Cali as a kid when my parents got divorced. I remember being in motels on the car trip to the east coast listening to the greatest hits of Sublime, Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Metallica's S&M. I can't hear anything off those albums without the memories of that time.
If you like ska songs with trombone solos, look up Pilfers and Bim Skala Bim. Both bands feature Vinnie Nobile who has this signature growly tone in his playing. The scofflaws with Buford O'Sullivan and the toasters have had a series of great trombonists.
You should do a reaction to Manchester Orchestra! Both of their recent albums are absolutely amazing end to end. They're a great example of a softer music group that have an amazing understanding of flow and dynamics. Not to mention how strong Andy Hull's song writing is.
Please check out RX Bandits, a ska punk band similar to Sublime from the same era but with more of a prog/technical aspect! Early stuff is straight ska punk and their latest album takes ska into the cosmos with prog and melodies like I've never heard before. "Only for the Night" and "Ruby Cumulous" are the two songs I would use to sum up the band. They don't have very many music videos but "And the Battle Begun" is a good one! P.S. I'm seeing these guys twice this June and I couldn't be more hyped!!
you should react to mac miller!!!! "2009" is super meaningful and the instrumentation is incredible. also "my favorite part" with ariana grande is awesome but I strongly recommend the live version of this one. love your videos!!!!
I used to listen to Metallica while watching old people dance to live polka on a local tv channel. It went amazingly well. I suspect this would as well.
VooDoo Glow Skulls, the Suicide Machines, Reel Big Fish, Operation Ivy, Rancid, Five Iron Frenzy. I feel your journey into Ska won't be complete if you don't check out some of these bands.

Sublime has really cemented itself as a legendary band, especially in Southern California. Probably in parts to the lead singers untimely death
3:53 - I love that you're just digging the song and not balking at the lyrics, it's refreshing AF.
The trombone solo quotes Rhapsody in Blue, and so does the sax in their song What Happened.

Maybe because 75 percent of it was originally recorded by other artists. As in the borrowed a lot.
Grew up to sublime, 311, and reel big fish. That’s what introduced me to ska music
Always used to love this song
DANG....................SUBLIME TOO...............another of my all time favorite bands................
bradley had music in his bones and everything he did was gold.................
Sublime always takes me back to high school on sports trips on the bus.
Ahhh the Rhapsody in Blue lick!
Love Sublime. Takes me back to my high school days.
Awesome great music. 👍 great show

Sublime had a really good grasp of music and weren't overcomplicated, just a great beat.

For a horn player on this song the key changes are pretty tough...also rhapsody in blue
Respect Breddrin from California
In case you havent seen, Silk Sonic has published a cover of Con Funk Shun's Loves Train - Its awesome!
Howie is picking some great songs to introduce you to!
i love rhapsody in blue, which is the little riff you referenced.

Saw red, little district, same in the end, freeway time just few by sublime rip Bradley
I'll never get over how bad it must sound to people when i drive by blasting this song and singing along with it

You should try something from CAKE... if you're not already familiar. Even so, it may make a good teaching opportunity. Incredible band.
I love the jinjer shirt
Eugene gave it to me

Another very similar band from SoCal is The Dirty Heads who were actually discovered by Sublime.
Is it fair to compare ska to polka?
Love your channel, David! ✌🏻❤️🎼
Totally fair!
I used to listen to Metallica while watching old people dance to live polka on a local tv channel. It went amazingly well. I suspect this would as well.
just wonder if you have ever played ska..reggae..that circus attempt was interesting
VooDoo Glow Skulls, the Suicide Machines, Reel Big Fish, Operation Ivy, Rancid, Five Iron Frenzy.
I feel your journey into Ska won't be complete if you don't check out some of these bands.

Can't go wrong with Rebelution, Slightly Stoopid, or Fishbone - appreciate the content!
