I have zero empirical evidence for this, but I just know the world would be a better place if more people listened to their ska music each day.
Absolutely!!!
Even ska breakup songs are happy!!!
Get Izzo on it.
I'll back that theory!
I can't say you are wrong.
Ska is great, it's so inclusive and upbeat. 3rd wave ska was such a short lived moment in the late 90s but what a time to be alive lol
You have just entered into the rad world of SKA
They have listened to a couple of songs by Madness (early 80s British ska, although some of their songs are more purely ska than others).
@@Steve_StowersI’ve basically been begging them to listen to ska for a few years now. lol
There’s so much great ska!!!
SKA started way before MMBT's in the 1950s in a little known country called Jamaica. This is third wave.
@@Steve_StowersThey reacted to No Doubt as well.
Yes but
no one touches on the subject matter? Aids was a major concern at the time. Hes scared to get tested but doesn't want to ":Knock on Wood" if avoids it and positive
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Someday I Suppose
Real Big Fish - Sellout
No Doubt - Spiderwebs
All good choices... love them all. There are some great ska covers too... Reel Big Fish doing "Take on Me", Save Ferris doing "Come on Eileen"...
Oh yeah, forgot about Someday I Suppose, another banger!
The Specials - Ghost Town, A Message To You Rudy, many many more.
Brian Setzer Orchestra - Jump Jive 'n Wail
Sublime, Madness, Interrupters. So many bands have rocked the Ska Punk scene with quality music.
No Doubt Trapped In a Box is what I play and absolutely NOBODY has heard that song. Their first self-titled album is one of their best and terribly underrated albums.
Yaaayyy!!!
SKA!!!
This album is amazing!
The title song, Let’s Face It, has powerful, important, lyrics.
And it’s just a great song!!!
Right!?
I’ve been begging for ska for feels like years.
Other amazing 90’s ska bands:
The Planet Smashers
The Slackers
The Pietasters
Reel Big Fish
…and there are so many more.
Ska is a hugely vast genre that almost nobody knows about.
Vast in quantity as well as style.
Everything form the Skatalites original 60’s ska sound, to 70’s/80’s 2Tone, and the 90’s “3rd Wave”, to new ska music being made every day.
I just love ska sooooo much!!!
SKA baby, SKA!!!! The 90s witnessed the 3rd coming of SKA. This time around it made it big! It went full mainstream. It was the official music of every Pub in existence at the time! It was also huge in the Latin world. Many Spanish SKA bands! It was everywhere! Even No Doubt was primarily a SKA band. It's just pure fun and party music!
Nineties Ska is just some of the most feel good music of the decade.
Hello 90’s, hello to my 20’s, hello to living above a liquor store on Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach, hello to alcohol, weed, the surf waking me up in the morning, working at a record store. Hello Mighty Mighty Bosstones. That’s the impression that I got.
Grest memories my dude
Hello to living in Boston taking classes at Berklee with Bossyones horn players circa late 80's.
If you like this, check out The Squirrel Nut Zippers and The Brian Setzer Orchestra.
My favorite of the nineties swing bands is BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY.
Long live the Voodoo Daddy.
Saw Brian Setzer Orchestra live and it was INCREDIBLE - one of the most fun concerts I've ever seen.
“….in the afterlife, you’ll make a serious strife, now u make the scene all day, but in heaven there’ll be hell to pay…” 😈😈😈
And The Specials version of Pressure Drop!
I’m glad people recommended these bands! All of their sounds are top shelf vibs!
Fishbone is something else to check out along the same lines
YES!!! I 💖SKA!!!! It didn't have nearly enough time in the sun. The Bosstones are awesome! So glad you got to this!
"It makes you feel good."
Welcome to Third Wave Ska. Ska, in general, was a dancehall genre. It's purpose is to make you wanna move.
"The horns sound like something you would hear on an island."
Yeah. Ska was originally from Jamaica. It was a blend of music popular on the island, and the R&B, Jazz, Soul, and Rock being broadcast from the US. Then, it jumped across to England with Jamaican immigrants where working class kids got together regardless of race and started playing a variation of it blended with a bit of the rock and punk popular at the time. That's Second Wave/Two Tone. The checkerboard pattern associated with Ska comes from this era where it was intended as a symbol of racial unity. Then It hopped back across the pond to the US where more punk was added (specifically Skate Punk), and that's Third Wave.
Big bad voodoo daddy is another band along the lines of the mighty mighty bosstones.
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is swing not Ska Punk. Nothing like the Bosstones.
They both wear suits and have horns if that what you mean.
I've been asking for BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY for a while. Not ska. Part of the nineties swing revival.
Try. BVD's. Mr Pinstripe Suit.
@anthonysteinberg4853 Why not actual swing?
Cab Calloway, Louis Jordan, Fats Waller etc
@@anthonysteinberg4853 As with any Swing Revival recommendations, I would always strongly recommend Royal Crown Revue. Zip Gun Bop, or Barflies at the Beach are my favourites.
@@peterbrazukas7771 Hell yeah! RCR was always a blast live! Still have my cd signed by the whole band. haha!
As a fellow New Englander, I spent many nights in many bars bopping to these guys. A delightful fusion of Madness and The Specials. Not bad for a band from Boston, MA. 😊
Also a fellow New Englander. Boston has the best bands, period. 🥰
Same 😊
I love how you mentioned the dancer! There's a guy in that band that literally all he does is dance! No instrument, no singing, just skanking! If you're unfamiliar, that's the type of dance he's doing.
His name is Ben Carr.
It was his birthday a few days ago.
He became part of the band when he wasn’t old enough to get into a bar with his friends, the band…so he became part of the band as their dancer/hype man.
I saw them in (I believe) '96 at Rockfest in Atlanta - along with The Offspring, Live, Sugar Ray, Third Eye Blind, Everlast, etc.. Outdoor concert. Afternoon. June. Georgia. Dude danced nonstop through the whole set. (In that suit).
@@hawksoobLike Bez in the Happy Mondays. He was there for the vibe 😊
@@hawksoob sounds like an awesome festival.
Ska baby!!!!
Please check out Fishbone!! They are a ska rock funk band that have been around since the late 70’s and still tour. They need all the attention they can get. They really took off in the nineties. The songs Sunless Saturday or everyday sunshine are amazing. But honestly you could pick any song and it would be amazing!!!
Great suggestion ❤😊❤
Totally agree, except you can never really understand Fishbone unless you hear about 10 songs! Start with Party at Ground Zero, go to Freddie's Dead, then Ghetto Soundwave. Next hit Fight the Youth, Sunless Saturday and Everyday Sunshine. Catch Lemon Merangue and Black Flowers, Mighty Long Way... Everyone is unique and awesome!
That dancing is Skanking. It has it's roots from the 1950's in Jamaican dance halls.
Dickey Barrett definitely has a unique voice. It’s built for Ska
Former announcer for Jimmy Kimmel
Dickey is an old school hardcore punk rocker from Boston. Hit his stride with Mmbt!
I think it's because he was stabbed in the throat in a bar fight, and took up singing as vocal therapy.
Ska is such a blast! The Bosstones have a great catalog of tunes
My favorite ska band in the 90s was ironically a Christian ska band called the Orange County Supertones. Even without the message, they were a legitimately great band, but the intelligent lyrics and religious themes made them not to be missed. They and Five Iron Frenzy are probably the two best Christian alternative rock bands ever.
Five Iron Frenzy is legitimately a top-5 band from the third wave, regardless of "secular" vs "religious" scene. And they're still making incredible music to this day.
In the late 90s there was a revival of kind of band music...this is called ska-punk but with the brass instruments. Also swing music & swing dance got big, also a big band sound but upbeat and bouncy. Was in a lot of movies like 'Blast from the Past' with Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone, the music and a swing dance scene, and in '10 Things I Hate About You' with Heath Ledger & Julia Stiles, there was thing kind of ska punk swing music, too. It was a fun change because we hadn't heard those brass instruments for like 10-15 yrs. We're about due for them to come back now!!
Welcome to Ska. Ska is high-energy, mixing elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. Ska makes heavy use of brass instruments, up stroked guitar, and syncopation between guitar and rhythm. It also serves as a bridge between jazz and punk music.
The lead singer's name is Dickey Barrett.
Now you have to listen to Fishbone, The Specials and the Skatalites
Fishbone!! Yes!! it is time.
Don’t forget Desmond Decker. 😍
Ska has enriched the lives of so many-I love how each generation discovers it! 💜
Love this song
My son was one of the bass drummers as part of the Virginia Tech's Regimental Band "The Highty-Tighties". They would play this during the march of the HOKIE football team to the stadium's locker room. They really put some dancing and would play this at Volume. It was also a tribute to their snare drummer who was killed trying to stop the Virginia Tech massacre in Norris Hall on April 16, 2007.
Go Hokies!
Saw them live here in Jacksonville... Warped Tour 98... in what is basically a metal farm house, so packed you cant move, and they are making the entire crowd jump up and down for almost 45min straight.... all in 100F+ Heat in this metal building, and they are all rocking the full suits. We all needed so much water that day, but the vibe was there! Amazing Song from an Amazing Band!
Love the lyrics in this one. A lot of fans didn't like the mainstream sound to this one, but the message is remarkable.
I think it’s too bad when fans of a band don’t like when they try to put something out for a wider audience. Like, sorry, we wanted to try to be a little bit more successful. You make something more mainstream you can attract more people who may check out the rest of your work.
Ok let’s give props to one of the 3rd wave originals: FISHBONE!!!
Most underrated, underappreciated band ever (and that's even considering that many people do appreciate them). Thing is, you could get a great ska song (Ma and Pa, Question of Life, Lyin A B) but you might end up with a straight up rocker, thrash song or Funkilicious jam. Fight the Youth is everything at the same time! They were all back together too, for a minute, but Norwood and Walt split last month. Boo!
OK, kiddoes. :-) This isn't really jazz. lol. This is part of the ska family. 3rd wave ska, ska-punk. Mixture of punk and ska. Ska is like reggae on steroids, happier and faster, up tempo with horns . Originates from the Caribbeans. Punk and ska started to mix back in the UK back in the '70s and '80s (2 Tone, 2nd wave).. Many immigrants from Jamaica ended up in the UK . Hung out with the punk rockers and they shared each others music. Same audience at smaller underground night clubs. 1st wave ska was old school original ska from the Caribeans. '50s and '60s.
3rd wave ska, ska-punk blew up during the '90s and '00s, big scenes around the west coast like California and the east coast like Boston, Mass, New England and NYC.
Check out video for "Someday, I Suppose" next from Mighty Might Bosstones.
Other ska punk bands to check out . Reel Big Fish, Less than Jake, Rancid, Save Ferris, Goldfinger, The Aquabats, No Doubt (Gwen Stefani band), The Interrupters, etc
Don't forget Madness ;) although more 80's.
Great suggestions?
Was about to say something similar. Delighted to see you beat me to it! Ska, ska, ska.
@@PuffyAmiYumi , we should suggest some Prince Buster songs? Love your nym, BTW. I'm a 'car guy', at car shows for '80s/'90s imports (yeah, it's a thing now), people love Puffy/Judy & Mary/Seatbelts coming out of the CD player I installed in it. Once had to get a 'jump start' to get home because I killed my battery running the player all day. 🤣
EDIT: 1984 Honda Prelude. J-tin needs J-pop. 😃
Thanks, all needed the explanation. though no one touches on the subject matter? Aids was a major concern at the time. Hes scared to get tested but doesn't want to ":Knock on Wood" if avoids it and positive
SKA is the word here.
Deep, empathetic lyrics with happy, energetic music - that's the impression that I get. 💓
I love Ska! Always makes me happy....wish more bands did it. English Beat, Madness, UB40, some No Doubt....the world needs more Ska bands!!!!!
Ska is an awesome genre with a very rich history going all the way back to island roots. It is normally described in 3 waves. The first (that I know of) is the Skatalites, Toots & the Maytals, etc. I believe Bob Marley was also involved in Ska in his earlier days. This era was much more brass heavy from the material I know. The second wave was bands such as The Specials and Madness out of the U.K. that added a punk undertone to the lyricism. The third and most modern wave is what most people know when they say ska. Its a lot more punk infused instrumentally but still carries on the traditions of the previous waves. Examples would be The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Less Than Jake (my personal fav), Reel Big Fish, Mustard Plug, Streetlight Manifesto, earlier No Doubt, The Interruptors, etc. I fell in love with 3rd wave first like I'm sure a lot of people did, but quickly took a deep dive into the heritage of this quirky little genre and its all awesome. My two personal overall favorites are The Specials and Less Than Jake but you really can't go wrong with ska of any era.
I recommend The Specials 'Ghost Town' or Less Than Jake's 'The Science of Selling Yourself Short'. I don't think either group has a ton of videos though so if you're determined to stick to music videos I believe Reel Big Fish has a bunch. A few of my favorite tracks of theirs 'I Dare You To Break My Heart', 'Where Have You Been', 'She's Got a Girlfriend Now', 'Hiding in My Headphones', 'I Know You Too Well To Like You Anymore', and 'Your Girlfriend Sucks'.
SKA music is still one of my favorite genres of music. It just hits. Hard to be down when listening to it. Love it ❤️
I didn't realize the meaning of this song until I lost my son, now a completely new meaning to me. Still love it
Now you gotta follow that ska rabbit hole deeper into the punk scene! Rancid, The Interrupters, Goldfinger, Operation Ivy, Save Ferris, Catch 22... soooo much good music out there!
Oh my God this is such a great song you pick the best music to listen to for the first time this is incredible❤
Yay! Boston Bosstones and ska in the house! For more ska, gotta check out The English Beat... "Mirror in the Bathroom"... "Save It for Later"... "Hands Off She's Mine"... so many fun songs and great musicianship!
English Beat -yes
The Specials too!!
MMB was 3rd wave Ska! No Doubt, even Rancid were all part of the Ska movement. Love that you love it!
I'm not sure but I think Dickey Barrett gargles with broken glass and I love his voice
I thought it was marbles but either way… he’s great
Sooooo many amazing ska bands to check out!! Can't wait for this!
90s ska 🎶.. I'm totally here for it. Takes me back to high school, but in a good way LoL.
The name is because they found there was a band already using The Mighty Bosstones so they just added another Mighty to their name. And they're from Boston
And bands with "-tones" in the name are not uncommon in Ska & Reggae.
This song was such a big deal back in '97! I really miss the resurgence of ska in the 90s. Such a unique sound!
I used to think Ben Carr had the easiest job. But after seeing them many times, I realized he has the hardest. He dances the whole time in a suit.
Yes it's a 90s re-tread of ska, punk & rock. BUt more than that - it's 100% bop - who doesn't want to dance or at least move when they hear this one?
A super fun and kinetic song that is about some very serious stuff, the 90’s AIDs crisis. The song was inspired by/about a friend who was waiting on the results of an HIV test and the singer is wondering if they should get tested too. Hence the lyrics in the refrain about, “never had to knock on wood”, “I know someone who has”, “wonder if I could”, and so on.
OMG!!! Finally!!! I mention this band to you all probably a year and a half ago. I am so glad you have finally listened to them. They have a fabulous sound and really get your foot tapping.
This has always been one of my favorite songs from the 90s. It blends pop and ska so wonderfully. The song is about the lead singer's friend who is hesitant to get tested for HIV. The song talks about him having to knock on wood because he isn't sure about what his status would be. He also states, "I'm not a coward but I've just never been tested". It's a song very much of the era. The lead singer Dicky Barrett would later go on to become the first band leader for the Jimmy Kimmel show.
Wow 🤯
Go down this rabbit hole
Will not be disappointed
Saw them live about 20 years ago and Dicky Barret, the lead singer, was just hanging out in the crowd before their set, just the humblest, coolest guy ever!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I grew up listening to them when they were a local band . Seen them in tiny bars/clubs they barely could fit on the stage
Growing up in Mass in the late 80s, early 90s these guys were THE BAND to listen to and hit up their shows. There first couples definitely had a bit of a harder edge. Ska is definitely worth going down a bit of a rabbit hole. Fun times.
This was such a good time. Amber nailed it.. it makes you just smile, and lightens the mood.
Now that you’ve gotten into Ska, you got to get into the Ska-Punk of Rancid , especially “Time Bomb” & “Ruby Soho”…also try reacting to Mephiskapholes, another awesome ska-punk group with “The Bumblebee Tuna Song” & “Doomsday” 🤘🏽🤩🤘🏽
Ruby Soho is a jam!
@@ronparsons8786 yes it is!!!!
@ronparsons8786 💯
There's a female wrestler who, as suggested by Lars Fredericksen, goes by Ruby Soho and that song is her intro song.
@@padenj420she’s a badass too 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I'll go ahead and toss in The Aggrolites
My boyfriend is 43 and this was the music he listened to throughout highschool. He's a huge ska fan, all waves/eras of it. He's the happiest, jolliest person I know, always trying to make people laugh and smile . . . and not afraid to dance his ass off. Go to a ska show, they are a blast. Trust me!
Also, the Bosstones are amazing. They can rock the eff out and this song in particular I dance to alone all the time and just let loose. They play some good mellow funky stuff, check out Royal Oil. More ska please!
You were so right about this is a song when you want to start off your day right. That's exactly what ska music is for. Anytime I'm feeling weird on my way to work I throw on ska and by the time I get there Im ready!! Lol🎉
You guys are beaming from the start in this video btw lol just straight smiles 😬😬😬😬
Everyones throwing out awesome Ska bands old and modern - How bout some Bad Manners, Toasters, Hepcat, Skeletones, Dance Hall Crashers? Keep on skankin everyone ~
I was one of the ones who suggested this to you - BECAUSE I have been with you (a subscriber) for a while now & have gotten to know what YOU LIKE - both music & even a lot with the movies now too.
I KNEW that you both would like this.
You said that those that suggested this to you (which includes me) put a smile on your face today. Guess what Amber, the situation is MUTUAL. Seeing you enjoy a song I knew you would really like & hearing you say it put a smile on your face - makes ME smile - knowing that I did this for you - so, it's a full circle & I say "thank-you".
I hope that you will try more of my music & movie suggestions as I would like TO CONTINUE to give you enjoyment.
All the best to you both.
Rascal King, where’d you go? And royal oil. LETS GOOOO!
Another couple of great 90s songs with fantastic horns and a captivating blend of styles - "Cantaloop" by Us3 and "Rebirth of Slick" by Digable Planets. They are both so incredibly good, they're still in my regular rotation of favorite songs even 30 years after they were released. "Cantaloop" was released in 93 and "Rebirth of Slick" in 92, but they both sound like they could be from current times.
And for one of the most different 90s songs, you still have to check out "Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen" by Baz Luhrmann! You'll love it, seriously!
Haha, I second all your recommendations!
I also affirm your choices. Does that mean the motion carries and J and Amber MUST listen & react?
@@blountlyspeaking I think it does, yes! It is now law. 😂
Seeing these guys at the Warped Tour when this song was in heavy rotation on MTV and they kicked into it, man it was thousands of people exploding with joy, jumping, dancing, moshing, still sticks in my head.
This is one of those songs that always brings back a memory for me… late night Wendy’s run, ahem burning/cruising under the cool summer night air
ska punk. you can mix punk rock with almost anything. i believe the most versatile genre in history.
Some other 90s rock to check out: Queens of the stone age - no one knows, my god is the sun, the way you used to do, the evil has landed, little sister; Everclear - wonderful, I will buy you a new life, am radio, father of mine; Cake - the distance, never there, I will survive, love you madly, short skirt/long jacket, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps; Beck - loser, where it’s at, devil’s haircut, new pollution, lost cause, think I’m in love, saw lightning; Dandy warhols - bohemian like you, we used to be friends;
Modest mouse - float on, lampshades on fire, dashboard, we are betweenGarbage - stupid girl, queer, I think I’m paranoid, #1 crush, push it, special
They need to do Everclear and CAKE. They will fall in love with those bands (as we All did)
Some of these killer tracks I've also suggested recently but just wanted to cosign these! Esp Everclear, Cake, modest mouse
I love this song. EDIT: This group is featured in the movie Clueless and now I can't hear their music without thinking of that movie. That's a good lead in to say the next songs from them that you review should be Someday I Suppose and Where’d You Go?
I was just thinking that! lol
Almost had it. They were in Clueless(is that what you meant?), but they played Someday I Suppose, and Where’d You Go?
@@downwardisheavenward3006 Oh, darn it. You are correct. Thanks! I will adjust my post.
One of those song I always forget about but the second I hear it, it brings me joy.
Damn...I just flashbacked to HS band and air-played my trombone. ❤❤ This song was so fun to play!
There is nothing more life affirming than being pressed in a crowd of strangers skanking and moshing to this song. Mid- to late-'90s was my most memorable era of music because that's when I started going to concerts and music festivals (Warped Tour, anyone?) and the third wave/ska punk scene was what I was into. The Bosstones were a big part of that wave and this song, if I'm not mistaken, was among the first to really break through to the mainstream airwaves. From this wave came hybrids of swing and ska as well, and straight up swing for that matter. It was a great time for great music!
The Bosstones played at my college student union in ‘92. We were shoved against the stage, just feet from the band. It was fantastic. We all got Where’d you go on cassingle. 😂
Straight up swing... remember everyone dancing swing in the 90s? Bring that back, somebody, please!
@@octoberguy and with the music came the fashion, which I loved. I never went full-on retro, but I went through two pairs of Doc Martens wingtips and still have a pair. I usually break them out whenever I go to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
Another mainstream ska band you HAVE to check out for female Friday is Save Ferris. Yes they got their name from the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The song is a cover of Come On Eileen that you reacted to on the channel.
"Someday I Suppose" is my favorite song of theirs! 👍👍
Big respect for reviewing this amazing song.
If you are ever down in the dumps, LISTEN TO 90s SKA! It's guaranteed to put you in a better mood.
If you've seen Clueless, the Bosstones are the house band at the college party they go to.
Such an upbeat song with a great message. You may not have been through truly tough times but you probably know someone who has.
Woo hoo hoo! SKA MUSIC! FINALLY! I AM HERE FOR IT! I love the horns in this song! We got to see them live at a multi venue concert back in 1997, Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre when it existed. They were totally awesome too! That is Dicky Barrett as the lead vocals for this band! "Let's Face it" is another song of theirs I think you may like, and you may want to listen to them do a cover of "Detroit Rock City" originally recorded by KISS. Perhaps you may want to listen another SKA band called Reel Big Fish, "Sell Out" is the song you'd want to start with. We saw them at the same venue as the Mighty Might Bosstones too! I sure enjoyed this video reaction! Peace. ☮ and 💕
Aww, many a show I saw at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater back in the day. 👍🏻
I’ve seen Reel Big Fish a couple of times at shows. Great band. I second this recommendation. “Sell Out” is a good starting point, but I also think they might get a chuckle out of “She Has a Girlfriend, Now.”
an amazing song, long time favorite! thanks for picking this one up
The specials a British ska band , basically what all the ska/ska punk bands pay homage to!!
This song brings back so many fun memories. Just one of those timeless songs🤘🏻
Mighty Mighty Bostones are so awsome! SKA was great in the 90s! Along with No Doubt
Yes, Sublime and 311 too
@@RobertoSantana61 Yes Sir! Great time to be alive!
This song always filled the dance floor!
SKA music... the 90's "third wave ska" vibe. Love it!
I'm sure from the comments that by now you know this is not jazz based, it's a punk ska mix.
Great tune! So much energy. These guys were incredible live. Dicky Barret (lead singer) can crank out some vocals. Just heard him on an interview with a local radio show (99X) here in the ATL and unfortunately the band disbanded in 2022 and has no plans on getting back together. I am glad I got to see them one-time live.
A MUST HEAR Classic,, General Public
"Never You Done That" 🔥♥️🔥
Their song “someday I suppose” is another banger by these guys.
Yes! The Mighty Mighty Bosstones just encompass the whole feeling and vibe of the 90s. Totally spoke to a lot of us teens that had no idea where we really "fit in"...
The singer retired from his day job a few years ago. He was the announcer on Jimmy Kimmel for years.
As a brass player I love this.
Ska is mostly all about the brass.
If you’re not familiar, there’s so much you should check out.
But for the best brass, I recommend my fav, the Planet Smashers. Particularly the goofy song, Pee in the Elevator.
The horns are amazing!
And they’re touring now…their live show is spectacular.
This was the band that played at that college party in the movie Clueless.
My dad passed away 3 weeks ago. He was a big Fleetwood Mac & Stevie Nicks fan, and Rhiannon was definitely playing on repeat in my head, but this song was second only to that in getting me through the last few weeks (though it's far from over).
Also...if there is ever a most adorable couple competion the sight of you two bobbing your heads, as the end of this song played, would make you hard to beat.
One of those songs that always makes me feel like a kid again
This has a massive SCA feel to it , its really cool, and a good update to the late 70s early 80s
I completely forgot about this song until I saw it in your video list. I loved this song.
YES!!! Love the MMB's! I've been fortunate enough to see them twice. They were an amazing live band to see! Definitely go down the SKA path! You just can't be in a bad mood when you listen to SKA! I highly recommend "Reel Big Fish!
Jay & Amber, for more ska, get back to The Specials “Rat Race” and “Nite Klub” !!! Funky bass and bass solo in "Nite Klub" for Jay!
edit- "The Rascal King" was another good one by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones!
The Rascal King should've been the first reaction!
These guys did a phenomenal cover of KISS’s Detroit Rock City
Wow, this song takes me back to a time when there was a lot of new music coming out that really resonated with me. 1996-1999. At heart, I'll always consider classic rock my favorite, but I also have a side to me that wants to discover new music, and that time period was a lot of fun. This music harkens back to the ska music period that was more popular in the UK, than the US, but definitely had an audience here in the early 80s. The Beat (known as The English Beat in America), The Specials, Selecter, Madness, many others. Later The English Beat would split into two camps: General Public & Fine Young Cannibals.
I had never heard of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones until this song came out, but it was a hit in 1997. I instantly loved it! It's got a great sound, a cool beat, LOVE the guitars, and how they disappear and come rising back up! Smart, catchy lyrics, too!
This song reminds me of the good to times and the great memories.
Intro to ska is what this is-next is Streetlight Manifesto and Voodoo Glowskulls😉🫡👍🙏❤️
SWEET!!! They are masters of the quick punchy upbeat rocking song! Others from TMMB would be "The Rascal King", "The Skeleton Song", and maybe "I Know More"!
In case you didn't know, the singer Dicky Barrett is also the announcer for ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live"!
3rd Wave Ska music of the 1990's. The Impression That I Get(1997) was a good worldwide hit. Toxic Toast and Chocolate Pudding are good songs.
