Oh dang, that's good. You could be a professional ska band namer.
Everytime I hear the word "Ska," Goldfinger's Superman starts playing and suddenly I'm playing THPS.
For anyone that loved that game back in the day the 1+2 remake is awesome.
I wasn't allowed that song at my wedding
You may, if I can counter with Kryptonite (Reloaded) by Jeris Johnson for when you really want the inlaws to question their precious little girl's decision making.
🎵 So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a super man 🎵
I'm just glad there are still bands out there making silly and fun 3rd wave music
For those who havent heard of the Mad Caddies, everyone ive ever played the song Backyard for has liked it. Theyve got a bunch of great tunes. Check em out you wont be dissapointed.
I just listened to it. Don't get me wrong, at an open air concert in summer with a beer in my hand, I'd sway to it and have a good time. But in general, it's a bit too boring and lukewarm for me.

I just listened to that on a pair of Bose Quietcomfort after a bottle of Plan de Dieu and it was one of the best things I've ever heard
That's the impression that I get...
You better knock on wood
I haven't yet, because I'm sure it isn't good
But I know someone who has, which makes me wonder if I could
Streetlight Manifesto is by far my favourite ska punk band, closely followed by The Arrogant Sons of Bitches. I'm a sucker for brass, heh.
If you don't mind lyrics in French, give a listen to the older albums from "la ruda salska" , since renamed to just "la ruda" I think.

Sorry, you just reminded me of one of my favorite jokes:
What has 9 arms and sucks?
Def Leppard
Actual Jamaican ska doesn't have to be super fast and often isn't.
Here's Demond Dekker with his biggest hit, The Israelites. He was actually known as the 'King of Ska.'
Because of this movie I believed it was actually called "Jamaica Ska" for a number of years.
reminder that ska is back and trans, stream JER
