No Doubt - Racist Friend Live 2004

[StephenCWLL]

This is where the party ends!

[blueshotgun017]

it's funny that the title should be similar to the TMBG tune. "Your Racist Friend" has such a jovial vibe- feels like it could easily be covered by a reggae band (not to mention the horn interlude in the bridge).

[bloodsuckern]

shitband

[MrBruiser28]

I was all set to not hate No Doubt quite so much and then it turns out this isn't even a TMBG cover :(

[sammosammy]

Man, these politics bore me.

[BlueCrow7]

it appears to me that there are too many people who know fuck all about music with opinions that are WRONG! Try Googling it first you morons... or read the posts below that ALL the posts below that say or how about the bloody video info... quite clearly says Specials AKA. Thick fuck Anyone else?

[mattmontoya22]

This is the specials! I don't know why they are covering this...the demographic they attract didn't know much about 1st wave ska. but then again this band should be called no talent.

[ndkspe]

OMG!! this is just perfect!

[dbplays]

This is a cover of the song by The Specials, from which TMBG's song borrows its title. In other words, the song that (inadvertently) led to the creation of the song you're all bitching about. So... Shut up?

[saltemann]

TMBG____????? wtf is this!

[rhythmsetionwantad]

Chalk me up to the "Came here hopeful for TMBG" tally. Dx

[Kombucha]

How disappointing. This is where the party ends :(

[1l0V3M0v132]

(sigh) I came here intrigued, "THEY COVERED TMBG?!?!" I now leave disappointed, 10 seconds into the video.

[benisheadshot1337]

@1l0V3M0v132 Yeah that's right. They didn't cover TMBG. They covered the Specials, one of the best ska bands ever, and did a pretty damn good job of it. Moron

[ImaniHekima]

I didn't know No doubt had covered this - it's a good version.

[XxMorbidXButterflyxX]

I thought it was a TMBG cover too :( Poop

[katoness]

What a friggin' surprise!!

[GumBeatingTV]

usually their covers are like 'eh'...but i really dig this cover(:

[2000tonsoftnt]

this is the special AKA



[Willworkforfewd]

wow.. these comments are stupid. it is the specials, you morons!

[PlushJake]

What? This isn't They Might Be Giants, damnit.

[dacypher22]

@PlushJake Haha, damn I was actually excited to think she may do something as interesting as cover a TMBG song lol. Obviously, no such luck.

[DevoBassGirl]

@PlushJake Haha I thought the same thing!! I was all like, "YES No Doubt covers TMBG."  Oh well, maybe another time!

[ftwelve12]

Stuck in the late 90s...

[odiseoo97]

[Miles52431]

@ptpserver how is she racist

[RikJamezBich]

For some reason I just can't stand her.

[DaleMaloneMusic]

@RikJamezBich then why did you watch this video? Strange idea...

[Rg56]

@ptpserver okay. but THAT;S ALL SHE DID was just hire them though.

what makes you think she's racist?

[smokelakes]

@Rg56 fyi youre getting trolled. he meant it as a joke. i dont think you got the joke, but thats cause its not funny.....at all :I

[Rg56]

@ptpserver ....yeah so racist: she hires asians....?

[Carnal477]

the almost all of the time in South america

soo its the same bro

[Carnal477]

USA ska is nothing compared to latin ska

you guys should check out SKAP thats ska

[acitonj]

@Carnal477 Er.. Ska-P is from Madrid. I wouldn't exactly call that Latin..

[tatoostatic]

@acitonj spain are latins, because they speak a romance derived lenguage.

[RudeNRebel69]

@Carnal477 Ska-p is more ska punk... groups like Don Segundo, Freedom Sounds, Jamaica 69, Judy Buendia... all they are more traditional ska...

[ourlovegotlost]

So happy to see this cover. Wish they did it more often!

[BigOrca107]

Gwen stafani and SKA?!

i just came

[flabrigella]

Well yeah No Doubt started out as a Ska band ..

[ourlovegotlost]

@BigOrca107 Yeah dude, No Doubt has 2 Ska albums that are awesome that came out before they got on radio with Tragic Kingdom. You should check them out. for sure!
