Welcome to SKA
The perfect ska song to cover is Johnny Too Bad by The Slickers. I know other people performed it including the legend Jimmy Cliff but for a first time experience my vote goes to the Slickers.
@@74artgrrl I 1000% agree
i'm in like like with ska but hate hate reggae and dunno why.
I love it all, but especially when the "crossbreeding" between Jamaican and British came. Stomp! :) The band Bad Manners is right there with "Lip up fatty". But there are more, and some where to come later. Reel big fish is nice (they play a lot of covers in Ska-mode) and of course Madness and of course The Toasters (especially "Don´t let the bastards get you down"). Happy music, makes me feel fine and that I can give most of the world the finger! :D
Ska det vara SKA? (ja, det ska vara ska)
Ska is a combination of jazz, r and b, punk, reggae
Realization of others' suffering, being grateful you haven't experienced it yet, compassion, anxiety... Such a great song. 💓
Love this band the sound,style,lyrics soooo dope Louis Armstrong in a ska band genius you can't front on the Bosstones son!
Wise interpretation of the song.
I hope you’re doing well this fine crisp cool morning mam. Or you’re at least hangin’ tough 🤙🏽
One guy never plays an instrument, maybe a tambourine occasionly, and dances around. That was his job.
Sometimes you just really want your buddy in the band.
@@TreyBlythe He's actually their producer.
@@TreyBlythe I absolutely feel that.
Apart from the chorus, this part has always stuck with me:
'I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was I would pass
Look at the tested and think "There but for the grace go I"
Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out'
This song is a lot. Like in a good way. Nobody is ready the first time how intense it gets when a literal dozen dudes just start singing/playing their heart out!
I enjoyed this song merrily as a youth and cry nearly every time hearing it as an adult. Great song
❤
The bass playing in this song is outstanding
Exactly! You start to smile when you hear a Bosstones song!!
The only band I know of with a member who’s sole role is to dance and hype up the crowd, LOVE the Bosstones!
Bez was a dancer/hype man back in the late 80s/early 90s for the Happy Mondays (who were massive in the UK).
Ranking Roger of The Beat started out as toaster/hype man - quite common in ska
It initially started because he was too young to get into the bar and see his friends play. So they told the bar he was their dancer. History was made.
Have seen them live once, incredible show and the crowd were off the rails dancing, skanking and having a blast, prolly some hands thrown too but that comes with the Ska/Punk territory, it's all for fun
@@Xenon0000000000001yep. 10 years before these guys had their 15 minutes
Love the “dancing man”.
So many great ska bands out there. Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, Planet Smashers, No Doubt, Goldfinger, Rx Bandits, Save Ferris, Dance Hall Crashers, just the ones I can name off the top of my head.
I want to add Less Than Jake to your awesome list
I love ska adding to your list
1. less than Jake
2. mad caddies
3. The interrupters
4. Rancid
5. Catch 22
6. Save Farris
7. Streetlight manifesto
8. Operation ivy
9. Big d and the kids table
10. Mustered plug
@@ImpactPunk Damn, I haven't listened to Catch-22 since high scool...oh those Keasbey Nights...
That's a great album
@@ImpactPunk thumbs up for mustard plug!
Ska is such a phenomenal musical genre and these guys do it justice ❤
That was the 90's... the alternative genre was the greatest genre because it included a bit of everything. The same radio station would follow it with Tool... then play Pearl Jam.... the 90's truly were the last great hoorah in music. Other than a few bands... it's been downhill since.
100% agreed. Alternative in the 90’s really did include anything and everything, and it was GLORIOUS getting to grow up in that era.
Agreed
hell yeah that was the best era. Not because I'm a fellow gen x trying to look down on other generations but the music was very diverse and different but it was all similar.
Unexpected! Bravo for continuing to expand and expose whole generations to practically forgotten music.
Being from the 90's this was my wife and I favorite band. We saw them live in concert more than 40 times over their career. More Mighty Might Bosstones music please!!! Any song song the Bosstones is great to react to. 😊❤
I feel the same way but about 311. Still love the Bosstones though. I missed the eighties when I was growing up in the nineties when I grew up. Whatever is happening now we have strayed so far from our roots.
GREAT SONG.......... TY 4 THEE RE-ACTION PEACE
That whole album is killer.
Yes! Love that album!!
pull it out every summer, great vibes
No doubt about it!
Love this album!
Synccpated rhythms are a wonderful thing when used well. Bosstones did it better than most. Love them!
💯💯💯
Such a great clean tune. As a dad I appreciate the music I can listen to with my kids!
This song makes me happy. I can't be still and do my best Benny impression.
love ska. anything with happy lyrics and sad music, or happy music with sad lyrics, it tricks me into liking it.
Great track, huh? Man, radio in the 90's was something else, so many alternative hits, everything felt different and the amount to of positive vibes was surprising. Nostalgic AF, thanks for reacting brother.
This song is not only fun but has a great message without smacking you in the head about it
I was a teenager in the 90's in a burb of Boston. This was on WFNX all the time! Very fun to cruise around and sing along with. A lot of great local Boston bands from that era. Glad you liked it!
FNX!!!!!
"We need a Ska day"
"You mean a spa day?"
"I absolutely do not"
OMG I LOOOOOVED this song in high school! Excited to see what you think!
Same here it’s crazy how music takes you right back to the bleachers in school. Now I’ve got a son going into high school! 😅
One of my favorite bands ever, was fortunate to see them live before they retired.
Lucky!!!
This whole album was incredible and still has a place as my summer soundtrack
Now you gotta listen to Royal Crown Revue "Barflies at the Beach" and Squirrel Nut Zipper "Hell"... All great songs that will have you wanting to sing and dance.
The Boss tones Where Did You Go is my favorite song by them!
Amazing band and song! Live these guys
90s ska was hella fun. If you're really feeling horns, check out Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, they had a sound so powerful, it could turn goat piss into gasoline. (also the band played on Amy Winehouse's debut)
3rd wave Ska…gotta love it…my mother got me into the first wave with The Israelites…then Two Tone came around on my watch…a great catalog of music that gives hope and inspiration to those of us who realize we are better together than apart fighting each other.
Big Desmond Dekker fan here, and th. Wave 2 the specials. Oh yeah , skanking
Got into SKA during the second wave.The Specials, The Beat Madness awesome stuff.
I still believe the 90s had the best music for a decade. I was a teen and early 20s and all the music I liked is still fire today.
This is THE best band live!!! They are simply incredible live man and steal any show they’re on.
PS…they are in the movie Clueless as the Prom Entertainment
Love these guys! I saw them play in LA and while filming in their hometown of Boston. I also saw a cool show with the reformed Lemonheads that included Bosstones Nathan Albert who originally left the band at their height to get a degree in political theory from Brown University. This band has so many dope little side stories and fun facts.
In the 90's when the movie "Swingers" came out, a massive swing dance craze hit all the bars and clubs.
The Bosstones were king.
This band pretty much models themselves on probably the best and most significant band in this genre is a band called Madness.
The Bosstones are a great band, I've seen them live a couple of times and their shows are SUPER fun.
Ska is Awesome ❤
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones Sublime Smash Mouth Reel Big Fish Early No Doubt 😊
I love this song because it takes me back to 1997 when I was 20, and when I became a born-again Christian. It has been a good 26 years!
Amen!🙏
This whole album is worth every second of your time spent listening to it!!
Man that takes me back, I haven't heard this one in a while. 🎉 Polo you had a small smile the entire song 😊
I was in Boston in the '90s and this song - and ska in general - was everywhere.
Saw these guys in bozeman, mt when they were poppin..must have been 97 or so. One of the best live shows i ever saw. 🔥🔥🔥
I haven’t listened to this song in YEARS & this shows up on my feed.
this song came out when i was in high school, i remember everyone singing along to this at school dances.
I love this band! This song takes me back. Thank you!
This is one of my favorite songs. I love watching you facial expressions.. "How many guys in this band????" New subscriber
This song was in the Kevin Smith movie Chasing Amy
One of the most memorable concerts I’ve seen back in the day. They opened for Primus. They even did a punk rock wedding. That’s were you pull a hot girl out of the crowd, and the singer and the girl both say I love you and then run full tilt into the audience of the stage. Awesome.
This was a great song at the time in the 90s. Us 70s babys where in a weird world. Our dads/uncles/men around us went through Nam. We were becoming men and there was not a challenge right? I mean our Grandfather fought WWII. Civil rights happened before us. We lived in the age of skateboards, Nintendo, and live was easy mode if you did volunteer for desert storm. But there was that feeling if the world challenged us we could step up...knock on wood. Great song.
fantastic reaction to the bosstones. they have sooo many great songs. this one was off of their first major label album, so it sounds a lot cleaner than their older stuff. it's a shame they broke up.
One dude in the bands job is to run around dancing. 😂Fun band to see live.
Sad they called it quits.. definately trail blazers of the 90's and their legacy will last an eternity! The best feel good summertime music on the planet!!!
1997, Vans Warped Tour, Jacksonville, Fl... the Bosstones played in, what is essentially a metal barn. No AC, Full Summer heat, They all were on stage with full suits, Rocking the entire crowd, while the entire crowd, myself included, were jumping throughout their entire performance. It was one of the best experiences I ever had watching a band.
God, I miss those days!!!
Saw them at the Milk Bar in Jax same year, I think! Kicked Ass!
i'd hug the polo with a bonus handshake at the same time.
'Devils night out' by the MMBT was one of the first ska-metal mash-ups. Blew my mind waaay back when.
SkaCore is the subgenre , Ska mixed with elements of Hardcore Punk
Here is a hug for the Polo 😊, Loved the song😊
Love love love Dicky Barrett always ❤
Welcome to ska music! These guys and Reel Big Fish are so great.
I was in peace corps- girlfriend of drummer- we all hung out! Magical. Big SKA fan…would go to other countries and hear more SKA-Japan was cool with that style….. many years ago……many many years ago 97-99 Niger.
As one of my favorite bands of all-time, may I recommend these other tracks from The Mighty Mighty BossToneS:
- Someday I Suppose
- The Rascal King
- Everybody's Better
- Simmer Down
- Royal Oil
THE GROUP MADNESS IS SIMILAR...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
GHOST TOWN
OUR HOUSE
Sing along bar song. I love that analogy. It most definitely is👍👍😍😍
This brings me back... (I wish "literally") but I'll take this little dose of Nostalgia.
I swear its like a bunch of coworkers at a marketing firm formed a band with a few buddies from highschool to jam with on the weekends and accidentally turned out awesome.
These guy's are bloody awesome live I've seen them here in Aotearoa New Zealand 💪👍✌️👏👏👏
Sing-a-long bar song is EXACTLY what this song was.... good 'ol college days in the bar
Ska is so great dude, it's a punk reggae fusion where you just invite all your band friends to come rock out in your garage with whatever instruments they play.
Crazy good song always loved the energy here love you
ah, the memories ❤ God bless punk rock girls
I agree completely that horns add a depth to music.
Love them!!!! 💗💗💗💗
I forgot how much i loved these guys
One of the pillars of the early to mid 90's ska/punk 3rd wave. Hardcore guys from Boston playing such catchy music. Their live shows are legendary. Last time I saw them live was at Thompkins Square Park in NYC, and they owned the place. If i may suggest, "Someday I Suppose", another tune from their earlier repertoire. Awsome reaction brother!
If you go to a bar in Boston MA you’ll likely here this playing and everyone knowing the words.
Also, don’t tempt an avid hugger to give you hugs…we just might take you up on it 😂 virtual hugs to you Polo!
Boss tones!!! Love them, since '95.
Good song 🎵
The 90’s were so much fun!!
Amazing 90’s song and song in general!!
Sending hugs caring hugs,this is a no knock on wood gift😅❤
Oh shit! We’re getting into Ska?! We’re getting into Ska?!? Another great song by them is “Someday I suppose.” That really put them on the map. Some other great ska bands, The Pietasters “Girl Take it Easy” The Specials (if you want to back a bit) “A message to you” Mustard Plug “You” The Slackers “Wasted Days” Tons more.
Yeeeeeessssss!! So more Ska!!! There was a brief moment in the late 90s where Ska made a huge comeback and all was right with the world! Need to do some Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger, and Save Ferris!
New 2 the channel I love that you reacted 2 Bosstones! I only got 2 see them live once and it was a show!!!
That whole album
I love it
By it I mean both the song and the reaction. Thanks ✌🏽
I love sincere lyrics like this
Ska, in many ways, encapsulates the best of rock music. It has the rebelliousness of Punk, with the scope of big band music. It could be played in full blown suits, or cut of shorts coupled with neon green dreds. It was super inclusive and progressive. I think because of the horn elements, it also attracted a different type of musician that raise the quality of the genre overall. Music was better, when ska was a thing.
Man I love the fact that I was in my prime during these times in music. Yup old guy talk lol.
Boston’s answer to the band Madness. Lots of college boys dressed up like that when they hit the town on the weekends.
I sing this at Karaoke every time.
Just love Ben bopping thru that whole video.
I miss3rd wave Ska. We were bumping this in 97. Sr year in hs.
Oh wow. I haven't heard this since it was a hit on the radio, in the anything goes 90s alternative era.
I love that one of the band member’s sole job is to dance
BOSSTONES BABY!!!!
I miss when you used to talk about lyrics and give your interpretation. That was always my favorite part because you're a smart guy and often opened a new angle to look at songs from.
I’m not a smart guy. I just play one on TV.
Have you been down the “Cake” road? Most excellent dudes
I saw this band I think like three times in the 90s at least! Always a fun time and I kinda miss those ska days. ❤
