My high school aged daughter saw the Bosstones at a concert yesterday. She said she was the youngest one by far that was dancing and singing the words. Somebody asked her how she knew these guys, and she credited me. Made my day when she told me about it!

Remember this song from the Airport level (First level) of Rogue Trip (PS1), played endlessly when I was 8. Miss those days, this song brings me back there.

Can't wait for Trap-Ska or Drill-Ska to mix Bars and 808s with the Brass Section 😂. I only slightly jest, it's highly possible. Although I'd prefer and feel like Thrash would fit much better as a Genre Fusion. Imagine some sick Bars over some D-Beats🔥
@@jn-ti3of plenty of new ska bands out there even if they've never hit the mainstream breakthrough third wave did, but then with rock music largely out of the mainstream these days I don't think we're ever gonna see that level of breakthrough for any alt-rock subgenre besides like, emo '00s-stalgia ever again
Let's Face It is one of the best 3rd Wave Ska albums of all time. Along with Goldfinger's Hang-Ups and Reel Big Fish's Turn The Radio Off. Those three albums were my late 1990's.
Bosstones shows were the best shows. we all went to bounce around and bump into everybody and dig that dude who really knew how to skank. nobody was there to get hurt or hurt anybody, just to have a great time, lose your friends in the crowd then meet up at the car. all today's younguns need to know: the 90's were the best time for live shows.
Don't know if these guys knew they'd get so many fans from Rogue Trip Vacation 2012. But since I heard them on that game, I can't get enough of this song. The live version is even better.
Don't worry I have a "gut feeling" the Ska/Rap fusion (Skrap) will happen in the near future. People will start Rapping on Ska songs and mixing in 808s.
Gonna be honest. I played Rouge Trip before I knew the name of this song. I'm 18, I've been playing that game since I was like 6. I just learned the name a month ago. Only reason I managed to find the name is because I heard the AFV song, the impression I get and thought it was this song, then I realized it was the same guys on the same album.
Love the Boss man dances 1:54 surprises me when his shoes hit the floor & that turn pure "Ballet" ....The Rascal King. Great lyrics and the Horn section Kicks tail.
Back in 90s I moved to rich but old fashioned from new music province in Indonesia called Ujung Pandang, South Sulawesi. When I came back to my hometown Bandung, West Java, Indonesia my cousins introduced me to Bosstones, Less Than Jake, No Doubt
Well he was fueled by a lack, drew inspiration from a need. So many problems to crack and mouths to feed. Crooked was the path, and brazen was the walk. A cocky swagger, up the ladder, and could he ever talk. The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again. The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them. The love of God and constant contradictions, With a smile, wink, or nod. What's stranger, fact or fiction? And never ceasing to amaze me on a regular basis. First hand in his pocket or first fist into the faces. The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again. The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them. A legendary character. When? Only then. Where? Only there. A hero or a hooligan? Well, that part's just never clear. Pride or shame, it's all the same. Who's innocent or who's to blame? Politics or just a game? Well in the end they knew his name. The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again. The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them?
I just love the baton leader" i know he is their manager, he is lite on his loafers when it comes to "boppin" to the music...priceless. Great Vid...Rascal King Peace 2 ya
From 1991-1998 I drove a car that had no radio, cassette, CD... no music player of any kind. I enjoyed the silence. It was like being on a new musicless island for 8 years. The place I worked had classic country playing all the time. That was it. Now I'm finally getting caught up on the music of that period and I really like what I'm hearing.
Mine was with my sister.We would play Rouge Trip over and over again.Unfortunately I don't have a PlayStation anymore and my sister now lives in another state, but I always have the memories.
I just noticed the beginning is a recreation of an Elvis Presley and Walter Matthau scene from King Creole. Can't believe I'm just noticing that after all these years
Yes, there is a biography of Mayor Curley called The Rascal King. He was also the inspiration for the main character in a book called The Last Hurrah, which is also the first line of the chorus.
Any band that employs a full time dancer and credits him on the sleeve as "the bosstone" is a band I will always love and respect.
I think 2 Skinny J's used to have two dudes that were just kind of part of the stage show - a rabbit and a pimp if i recall
WHAT! EHVA! MOOLIE!
Icon, more bands need one singular dancer nowadays. Dude was a cold blooded pimp
I have a feeling that if that ever caught on, you would get sick of it.
Fat boy slim had Christopher Walkin crushing it in that video.
This is a song where you're like "I haven't heard this for 5 years" And then proceed to listen to 50 times in a row.
so goddamn right!!
100 times in a row for me!!!
No song has ever moved me as much as this one!!!
I'm on about 10 so far, and I'm just going to say it...I miss the fucking 90's.
And still remember all the words
This takes me back to my vacation back in 2012. What a trip.
I bet the trip was a rogue one. 😉
Nice. Clever too. Instead of the just saying "Rogue Trip!", kind of a buried reference.
Looool
That insane rogue trip hahha
You and me both!!!

Time flies...... met you in the concert besides the gate...
Yesterday, ten years ago haha

Same! I used to think they said, "put the mustard on the bun, do it again" and I've been singing it that way for over 20 years now
Me too I loved that game way better than the whole Twisted Metal series in my opinion
They played the version from the Live From the Middle East album but still love it
!! UPDATE !!
The guy who edited this is Alan Chimenti ! i just found it on IMDB

Hopefully over time this comment will have the most likes

This song makes me want to go on a vacation. A rouge trip, if you will.
Me too. And I mixed it up with Vigilante 8
i see what you did here
Loved it.
Holy BASED.
A person of culture I see!
No matter how many times Ska music dies, it will always rise again. VIVA LA 4TH WAVE!
I remember. I share. I flare. If I didn't how can you declare yourself to be faithful. Star and stairs ✨ ramps are better adjustable and knees need less so ramp up. See a light? Let's go
How's that going bud?
It's back in Detroit

Same.
might I add Losing Streak by LTJ
loved this band and LTJ.
Totally agree. I'd throw in Mustard Plug's "Pray For Mojo" as well
Play this first thing in the morning and tell me you ain’t ready to kick the day in the arse.
Who’s into Ska in 2024? Stand up!!!
"Yea, Im gonna try and sing ...but I got these other 18 guys" :) GO SKA!!
"You? Are going to sing?" Cue best song-hit/hip-thrust ever.
This song always takes me back to playing RogueTrip on PS1 when I was a kid. Loved that game.
Big Daddy's got nothing on the vacation services we offer.

Agree, same thing in Indonesia.
You can't not bounce when you listen to the Bosstones
I never saw the Bosstones, but I agree that was the best era for concerts.
The bass player looks so happy.
Rogue motha fuckin' Trip!!!
Rock N Rule was the best!
Yes, this...A thousand times this!
I liked using Goliath the most or the weenie wagon xp
WiseEndro333 Fuck Yeah! "Dang it"
Fucking eh!!!!!
Being alive in the 90s brought me here.
90s is the dope shit
Me too. Their concert is one of my favorite memories
What were you born in 98? Lol
Yup... and all my classmates used to sing the chorus wrong
My moms taste in music from my childhood brought me here
I can’t wait for concerts to come back so i can see them live for like the 2,000th time.
I‘ve never seen them live I love them so muchhh
If you haven't seen them yet you're too late my friend they just broke up
@@jakeydeefpv i have seen them many times. I am aware of the break up. I was just hoping to see them one more time.
Nostalgia. Rogue Trip. Incredible.
Don't know if these guys knew they'd get so many fans from Rogue Trip Vacation 2012.
But since I heard them on that game, I can't get enough of this song.
The live version is even better.
Awesome game
PRIME DIRECTIVE MY WASTE PORT!
Heard this song for the first time playing Rogue trip on the Playstation 1. had no idea it was the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
lol me too
Rogue Trip ... No way to describe what I'm feeling right now, good memories , my childrood
Want to live it all again.
I remember staying at my friends house in Devore Ca in the 90's and he would play this band, Goldfinger, CIV and RATM all day everyday.
that's a good friend
I used to play this album whilst playing Playstation with my sibling.
+badoocee Did you ever play "Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012" (1998, by the makers of Twisted Metal)? It had this song as part of the game.
Rationalific
No I didn't know...COOL.
+Rationalific yeah I remembered this game before
i still do that
twisted metal. its in the game
I remember hangin with these boys at a show in Toledo in the 90’s. 🥰
SKA took a hit after hearing the Bosstones called it quits in ‘22 but SKA never dies!

Who's here after the band announced they are no longer going to continue? :(
My first concert EVER was the bosstones ! It was AMAZING🥰
I remember hearing this song on Rogue Trip 2012, on ps1.
That's were I learned of it
@@solid_snake_6653 yep good memories
Thank you, I could not remember the Twisted Metal-knock off!
this is my favorite video [a 65 yr old boomer}
My friend Doug and I love skanking to this song.
Patrick Stickney i hope you're still skanking to this.
Yes we do!
And afterwards kissing each others Oscar Meijer weiners .
P.S. Im 9 years late. You'll never respond . Ill have to imagine how offended you'd be.
I found these guys when I was in college in the early 90's and they still kick butt 27 years later.
I think the rascal king was released in 1994
@@natestaub511397 The CD let’s face it came out in 1997. This video came out in late 97
so in love with this song. have already played it 14 times today.
Haven't heard this since rogue trip: vacation 2012 on the original playstation...good times
Back in 90s I moved to rich but old fashioned from new music province in Indonesia called Ujung Pandang, South Sulawesi. When I came back to my hometown Bandung, West Java, Indonesia my cousins introduced me to Bosstones, Less Than Jake, No Doubt
Still one of my favorite music videos.
The bass in this is quite sensational
Bass + trumpets = ideal ska
MMB always had killer basslines
These guys kick ass! I met these guys after a show in 96 and they were very nice.
underated for sure
It must be fun AF to play the bass during a live show when this song hits the set list.
Joe Gittleman "The Bass Fiddleman" is the undisputed KING of bassists.
It's a kickass bassline. I just learned it the other day. Gives the fingers a real workout.
@@briankirchner8388 Joe's one of the best bassists I've ever seen.
Still remember the words to this song and “Impression that I get” all these years later lol
Love their historical songs. This and "Riot on Broad Street" both taught me some great history!
Can't believe this was 14 years ago. Makes me feel so old.
@@WellPreserved404 lol
GET IT ON!!! GOTS TO GET IT ON!! NO CHOICE BUT TO GET IT ON! One of the greatest bands in the world and one of the greatest songs
Well he was fueled by a lack, drew inspiration from a need.
So many problems to crack and mouths to feed.
Crooked was the path, and brazen was the walk.
A cocky swagger, up the ladder, and could he ever talk.
The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again.
The Rascal King behind the bars
or the one in front of them.
The love of God and constant contradictions,
With a smile, wink, or nod.
What's stranger, fact or fiction?
And never ceasing to amaze me on a regular basis.
First hand in his pocket or first fist into the faces.
The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again.
The Rascal King behind the bars
or the one in front of them.
A legendary character.
When? Only then.
Where? Only there.
A hero or a hooligan? Well, that part's just never clear.
Pride or shame, it's all the same.
Who's innocent or who's to blame?
Politics or just a game?
Well in the end they knew his name.
The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again.
The Rascal King behind the bars
or the one in front of them?
My wife used to love the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, I still do.
Long live the Mighty Mighty Bosstones!
Rogue trip 2012.
I have it my PSX game on used ePSXe
Must get to safety.
-tourist
Wasn't it the live version on that game?
+OtterpopSlaughterMop yes it is.
This song always reminds me of Rogue Trip. Still a fun game!
This was my entire 90’s childhood right here... 8 years old in 95 when i heard this and it stuck.. played this at my graduation in 05..
I absolutely love this band, I have seen them a couple of times and they just keep getting better.
That sounds like a great show
I just love the baton leader" i know he is their manager, he is lite on his loafers when it comes to "boppin" to the music...priceless.
Great Vid...Rascal King
Peace 2 ya
this song never gets old...

Listen to "Attack of the Twistin' Tarantulas" album (1996)
it's a dance pimp. For those hesitant to dance at clubs -- he sets the tone. the BOSS tone...
thank you for everything
bass player blows me away. so good.
Rogue Trip is worth the trip love this song
I loved these guys even before i played rogue trip, this song being in it pretty much sealed the deal
Rogue trip vacation 2012. The best game! That memories!
I wish I could just point in the air and have The Mighty Mighty Bosstones appears behind me.
rouge trip! ^_^ i like this song while skateboarding.
This song makes you smile!! :)
why is that??
fun fact: the mighty mighty bosstones are one of the only bands that have a designated dancer as part of the band
He only knows one particular dance move, but he's got it down to a science.
Yep, a couple of others that spring to mind are Bez in the Happy Mondays and Paul in Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
His name is Ben Carr and he's the heart of the band.
This song is always so uplifting!
Definitely a great band..!!!🥳🥳🥳🎶🎶👊👊🥰🥰
Rogue Trip! good times with my dad
me tooooo
Me too ♥️ he passed away last year so this was a pleasant memory ☺️
Mine was with my sister.We would play Rouge Trip over and over again.Unfortunately I don't have a PlayStation anymore and my sister now lives in another state, but I always have the memories.
Maaannn same. I sent him a video of someone playing the game the other day and we reminisced for a bit
This is an example of songs written in the 90's that sounds new and fresh in 2019!
I hope you MMB someday come to Peru.... That would be awesome !!!
Holy crap! I've been listening to them for 20 yrs and love this song, but I had never watched this video. Dude threw me off as he started dancing. Ha!
I can appreciate using period-accurate camera fidelity and frame rates.
I love how there were randomly just a bunch of happy ska bands in the most depressing decade of the 20th century
The 1930s enter the chat.
If you think the 90s were the most depressing decade you have a lot to learn about the 20th century.
@@anythingthoughanythingthou2453 musically depressing. 1930s/early 40s were obviously the most depressing for people
Will never forget you guys. Thank you for the amazing memories from my elementary school to college years.
Their bass player rules, that is all.
Lol i dont think they know how to play upright
@@ihavegcc472 The bass playing on Let's Face It is awesome as shit in general though.
@@joepermenter7228 yea for sure he’s a good bass player, was just pointing out that he was faking it here for the upright bass
When this came on I knew I was going to keep a killing spree in Rogue Trip
20 years old, damn!

@@Jeeppeeps update 23 years old
I just noticed the beginning is a recreation of an Elvis Presley and Walter Matthau scene from King Creole. Can't believe I'm just noticing that after all these years
Omfg the Rogue trip days PlayStation 1 baby 😍
the voice of an angel
I was 8 and I remember getting in trouble for always stealing this album from my dads CD case all the time. Such fun music.
I remember in high school my little brother walking thru the house singing "the rascal kicked me in the balls." lol good times
This band has got to be my favorite
Just great music! 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Let's Face It is amazing
Whole album is solid. I play it in its entirety about once a month.
+InflatablePlane same until the album was removed off youtube a few days ago....
the new album "While We're at It" es una belleza.... ;) BOLIVIA.
I love this song! Can't stop listening to it! I want to shake these guy's hands for producing such a bad ass song!
I saw these guys in concert on my birthday years ago. Such an awesome show! Very high energy :)
I really like the bass line on this. Great band!
aah this song reminds me of the good old years
Great bass line!
the song stucked in my head ever since Rogue Trip
What’s that
a video game on Play station 1
just perfect, tight editing
Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012
I could swear my father had a biography of Mayor Curley, who was the inspiration for this song, and the book was called 'The Rascal King.'
Yes, there is a biography of Mayor Curley called The Rascal King. He was also the inspiration for the main character in a book called The Last Hurrah, which is also the first line of the chorus.
I always feel like this song could also apply to Huey Long. Exactly the same kind of personality.
Still kicks ass in 2022
A good time decade of the 90's
Rogue Trip brought me here
good, now let it take you back there
Me too!! Aw
saw these guys and mighty might bosstones at mcoy stadium, probably the best show ever!
The Last Hurrah! Nah...
Great band and song. And video. Truly one of the 90's Ska masterpieces.
