[TheJackandJude]

[EastCoaster97]

This is one song that has been in every ska wave now. First by Toots & The Maytals, then by The Specials, now by Reel Big Fish.

[oasisfanmatt]

[sirmars190489]

@oasisfanmatt music never gets old .... just a little dusty!

[MrSpazmonkey92]

Is it me, or is this really racist?...

[SkepsisUK]

@MrSpazmonkey92 it's just you.

[1993Thescarecrow]

[noahwashere]

[sophilosophie]

[nick30893]

[sophilosophie]

@nick30893 !! never realised it. thank you! lol.

[Youtubican]

0:49 Derpa derpy.

[VivalaryMan]

uft dont listen to this when your stoned man, itll fuck you up

[SkateboardBassguitar]

A local band played this song today at a motorclub, when I was skanking I overskanked a little boy, didn't know how fast I had to get out of there.

[LTamazil]

316 what is that 3 and 6 doing there?

[Misfits655]

i miss scotty, may he rest in peace :'(

[jeremythecrow1]

@Misfits655 Do you mean Scotty Klofenstein? Cos he isn't dead.

[Misfits655]

@jeremythecrow1 you missed the humor in this comment.

[jeremythecrow1]

@Misfits655 I probably did. I'm not the best when it comes to jokes.

[TheDalb89]

I saw this at Slamdunk and on their tour this year, it's so much fun live!

[1978Borderline]

Not as good as the Specials, but pretty damn good :)

[zelkaneo]

One of the most original and emotional classics of all time

[tanner56700]

Hey the trumpeter is doing what black people do best!

Sitting around and doing nothing! 

[moonyprongs]

@tanner56700 don't have to be racist. not all black people do that!

[tanner56700]

@moonyprongs Alright, you right. not ALL black people do that.

[iRiGDeN]

@tanner56700 Not really, they are sort of blowing up england at the moment.

[tanner56700]

@iRiGDeN

you people just can't be pleased >.<

[skinupfast]

@tanner56700 dont give us any chav trash here, big boy even though you´re from georgia which owns its wealth to black ppl doing the cotton fields etc. have ya neva been out fishin?..... listen to "gone fishing" for a change, it may broaden your mind.... no reply needed.... I´m out fishin´ listening to black music.. bye

[tanner56700]

@skinupfast Lets clear some stuff up here.

1) It was a joke, chill for a sec.

2) no disrespect here man, but your wrong on that. most white southern farmers only owned small amounts of land and only one or two slaves and they weren't treated badly .

Plus that was 150 years ago, lay off.

3) Listen to drift away, beautiful song, written by a black musician.

[skinupfast]

@tanner56700 "gimme the beat boys ta free my soul"what a song.. doesnt it say a lot?

so these small time farmers(sharecroppers?)had slaves but slaves still being slaves themselves 2 the rich landowners. a sytem of slavery all in all & it hasnt changed much, a different face though...

I´m what they call "aryan" if it helps... and music isnt per se good just because it´s black but modern music in general owes a lot to black culture... read micheal moore´s "stupid white men" if u like.. take care

[XxXLeahKennyXxX]

Nice cover

[pyromonkeyboy555]

notice the trumpet isn't seen being played through the whole song :P

[shazzaman1]

royal butt f**K =rbf

[Plus44OneEighty2]

Whatever mood I'm in RBF never fail to cheer me up =]

[29churchbells]

@Plus44OneEighty2 i love a royal butt fuck too :P

[Plus44OneEighty2]

@29churchbells lmfao. ><

[lilly082]

loving dan's dancing XD

[wheredmyyouthgo]

Holy shit! I didn't know until .265 seconds ago that RBF covered this song. Everything kicks ass right now!

[Angel83579]

i think i have found my new favorite genre of music

[GUZIGAR]

it is nice to know we jamaican got somthing the world can imitate one time for toots you make us pruod as jacan

[camonaipo]

Why is the bass player "alienated"?

[zoidsberg75]

@camonaipo i dont think he is , he was one of the founders of reel big fish and i think hes just quite and isnt as animated as aaron and the others so he stays in the back

[bashb1990]

@tomrich21

I think the original was about the racist term. "I never saw you, I only heard of you". They're sayin "everyone says black people look like monkeys, but I've never seen one that does". They've got a very good point...

[fhw4979]

@bashb1990 look at 1:40- enuff said...

[ThePopculturist]

Pause at 1:40

Best face EVER.

[peptosxe]

nice cover....

[tomrich21]

1:56 racist?

[SkateboardBassguitar]

@tomrich21 haha :D

[HondaCrDrummer]

@tomrich21 everything's racist these days...

[eXa12]

is that lenny henry at the back?

[christianmedina1990]

God...i can hear Toots barfing from here...disgraceful

[sophilosophie]

Is it just me or, it's just impossible to listen to this song only once..

[summerofska]

I smoke crack and try to lick my own ass. but i listen to reel big fish so im still cool!

[suggoz]

Is this ha ha or is it an insult to the original (that is 1000% better then this crap)!

[nonoio1]

@suggoz if you think they suck, don't listen the amy winehouse version !

[bluejays49]

@suggoz When A Group Or Singer Does A Cover Of A Song Its Because They Are Showing Their Respect For The Song And How Much They Like It. Shit, Of Course It woun't Be Better Then The Original But You Need To Learn To Not Hate Them For Doing A Cover! I Mean Damn! They Are Showing How Much They Love The Original! So Shut Up and Stop Being A Dick..

Love, Sarah [:

[fpmusic]

@bluejays49 well said :) x

[priceyboy]

i love looking at the songs coming up on the bottom

now its full of shit

[TheLoveGun93]

the days of good kerrang...

[Mattmillin68485]

@TheLoveGun93 I know what you mean, when i t had propper music on it.

[ShalowBrainGuy]

this is why everybody is doing the fish

[xNlNjA]

This video is just plain silly.

[ImYourDeity]

Is this off key?



[supergunman13]

i really hope thats a fake moustach...

[DewNotFear]

@supergunman13 This is an old video, he doesn't have a mustache now :P

[fedee077]

[maxskaterap94]

[4SecondChaos]

[Youtubican]

Black guy = awesome.

[sindevilman]

hay was that Bernie mac lol

[CatLikeThlef]

1:56 Not sure I like how he points at him in the chorus

[d0ug123]

@CatLikeThlef hahahahahhaha

[3478dimsim]

Dan's had, like, a billion different looks while part of the band. This is my favourite next to his classic "FBI agent disguised at a beatnik party" look (from the "Our Live Album is Better Than Your Live Album" album).

Tyler looks creepy during the "la la la" part.

[flipwits2]

I'm glad Aaron lost the moustache and goatee.

[mileyoreilly07]

1.40 = nightmares for weeks

[littlehales1]

1:18 - his dance just made me lol xD

[Rob42dXb]

press 6.

[kellyvisser]

This is insane! I love it!

[ederevo]

i fucking love this song.... period !!!

[TwistdYetUnbrokn]

This is an Ancient ska song going back to The Specials and Toots and the Maytals. Fantastic Cover by a fantastic ska band!

[mental07]

love how he points at the black man and says hes a monkey, hes a monkey man

[DarkAngelAzriel666]

why does the black guy look like Lenny Henry?

[JackMcLean1994]

OMG I've not heard this since I was 6 :O

this song is soooooo awesome XD

and catchy :') (8)

[spiderpunk100]

i love this song so much!!!

[Hellbat308]

pvc music! even the amy winehouse version got more style.

[kracker1818]

i never saw you iv only heard of you.. talkin bout the big porch monkey man 1:38

[ohmeny]

its not about bouncers, its about ugly guys having hot girlfriends.

[TYPHOOMASTER]

Hurray for gay music!!!!!

[realgaylog]

@TYPHOOMASTER I know, right. This song is so happy.

[doddie14]

[angelsspirit154]

[MrAdamloring1985]

[ethanizabunny]

[Sustanaelle]

[SmokMaahPowle]

@Sustanaelle

[recruitment46]

[midgetweasle666]

@recruitment46 ikr! and its ironic, they have one in their band

[midgetweasle666]

@recruitment46 ikr! and its ironic, they have one in their band haha, and i just noticed the white guy point at it

[WhoisShudmeyer]

Did i spy system of a down creeping around the bottom? Nah...just my imagination.

[fhw4979]

It is clear to me from watching this video who the real monkey man is!

[loralynne92]

I want a green jumpsuit now!

[WeWillKillYouClan]

@loralynne92 lol, same here

[uiruu]

1:39 is the perfect "Cool Story Bro" image.

[uiruu]

HE HAS A MOUSTACHE!!! I LOVE ITTT!!! No homo... well... Maybe homo.

[Jodie1995sox]

122 People must be fans of Justin bieber and dont know what REAL music is....

[beltran1690]

i have his chops!!

[Hotlantaa]

@beltran1690 Common misconception. No one "has" Aaron Barrett's chops.

[johnny45irish]

first rbf song i heard back on kerrang when they used to play 'real' music.

good cover, but still prefer the original.

[spiderpunk100]

how can people dislike this?! i know everyone has different taste, but to take the time to click 'dislike'?! no, they must have hit the wrong button!

[Brianbullington1]

song from the wild thornberries god i miss that show

[hippieman225]

I'm a massive toots&themaytals fan, i still prefer their original version.

however, this song's a good laugh + it feels like theres still a lot of the original spirit of ska in it.

[lucalucalucaluca123]

thats gay

[leo1598]

lols



[ReggaePunkSka]

best version i ever heard!!!

[GodofTrombones]

Gonna miss Scotty

[Zmuha]

[beltran1690]

[balltongue01]

Great!!!

[0Edward0Cullen0]

No, moustache GO! Sideburns, keep. ;)

[ElDuderino909]

1:35 OMG I died laughing my ass off at his face.

[ElDuderino909]

I prefer the Original but these guys did a really good job.

[DanJGosling]

FUCKING.LOVE.THIS.SONG.

[thetrueawesemokenzie]

oh my god

[SCARYFREAKINGPERSON]

Scotty's voice makes me horny.

[mcgstudmuffin]

[MrElgordojorge]

[LiveTheAlexLife]

Watch this in 3D..amazing lol

[GRIEF1712]

[XxXSpartan9664XxX]

Anybody know who the black guy is? (No racism intended.)

[chokurei3710]

[Bakou134]

@chokurei3710

You're so right!

Man, I love this band.

[MrSpikeyZ]

[EEnEfreak]

@MrSpikeyZ Son, are you talking shit on Matt Wong? Matt motherfucking Wong?

LOLï
