wow no one realizes that rbf didnt make this song more ska by "adding" horns. look at the video i have of op ivy doing this exact version of unity. rbf didnt make it their own at all, they just did an amazing cover of op ivys unreleased horn version
"Everyone's on trial for the crime of living; Arbitrary differences condemned and unforgiving; we are all judges, we are all the same; we are all guilty, we are all the same."
Everyone's on trial for the crime of living: others who are different are condemned and unforgiven. We are all guilty, we are all the same, we are all guilty, we are all the same.
wow, it really means something to you, eh? Alright, I'll nerd-out with you. The lyrics I wrote are from Unreleased Energy, THE ORIGINAL OPIVY! I like this version, and you are right, those lyrics sound right for the Reel Big Fish version. Punk ain't perfection mate.
actually Op Ivy's original lyrics were "Everyone's on trial for this crime of living, Arbitrary differences are condemned and unforgiven, we are all judges, we are all the same - we are all guilty, we are all the same"
I don't know. Finally, someone told me what they're saying. It's: "Everyone's on trial for the crime of living. Others who are different are condemned and unforgiven."
And then "We are all guilty, we are all the same." :)
to answer your question no they didn't make it up, Op Ivy actually has a different version of this song in which they changed the chorus to this one and also had a sax player
there are a lot of better ska bands than them, in my opinion. but this is a damn good cover, and from what i've heard of them so far, they are pretty good.
streetlight manifesto and op ivy and pain are my three favorite ska bands
original was so much better..prob one of my fav ska songs by operation ivy..my fav band of ALL time..i like the songs big city and bad town too...but this version is awesome too
I actually like this cover a lot now. It's the only thing I listen to by Reel Big Fish though. I ain't exactly a big ska fan except for a handful of bands.
the dvd in "Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album"! I CAN"T TYPE!!! AHHHH!!! i have the new cd now! its called "Monkeys For Nothin and the Chimps For Free"! LOL! good ol fashioned RBF humor!
i am a massive fan of operation ivy but i must admit i prefer this version ok it might not have the same point as the original but i think they gave it a new lease of life and yes rancids version is good too
you really think they made it horrible??? yeah it doesnt sound exactly like the original... but then it wouldnt be a cover if it did... it has its own life... having RBF and Ali perform it could very well open up brand new listeners to Op Ivy... Have you heard the Gym Class Hereos cover of Under the Bridge? It's completely different from the original... but good in its own right... different doesnt equal horrible
it is on dvd. it is part of their" our live album is better than your live album" package. two live cds and a dvd. and to the person above. the show was filmed at the alley in fullerton. i was at that show, rbf played two sets. so basically for 15 bucks 3 hours of rbf goodness
Weird...at the end, Scott puts on his guitar but a few seconds later, when they begin playing Snoop Dogg, Baby, Scott is holding a trumpet again and the guitar is gone. :o
oh definitely didnt read the comments for this video i guess some real op ivy fans already know but others check out my video

Its always funny how every cover song on you tube has a debate about which band does it better as if its a comption between the bands.
Reel Big Fish isn't trying to replace operation Ivy's version, they obviously like the song and think it would be a fun song to play.
