@SalamiPirates well, tchnically it's not from one of THEIR albums. This song is from either a duran duran tribute cd or from a famous song tribute cd, can't remember which one. If u look on itunes they don't have it, BUT i think they have this song on amazon music 4 any1 wanting 2 download it 2 their ipods/mp3s.
Sorry, but this is NOT better than the original. I've just been listening to covers of "Save a Prayer", "Hungry Like The Wolf", "Rio" and "New Religion" from the Duran Duran Tribute Album and they're all fucking awful, including this one. Well, compared to the original it's awful. I guess it's okay if you're into this sort of music.
says right there, "Ska (pronounced /ˈskɑː/, Jamaican [skja]) is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae." -Wikipedia
Ska is not some distorted english version of reggae. SKA CAME BEFORE REGGAE. SKA is FROM JAMAICA, REGGAE IS TOO. BUT SKA CAME BEFORE REGGAE. ska is older and ska is better (in my opinion!) and its not an English thing.
hey i like this version i like the duran duran versiopn alot bnut i like this one more. i understyand if you dont like the song but dont say they ruined it.
ska started in jamaica and is the precursor to rocksteady and reggae it did become popular in the uk and thats where 2-tone ska comes from and thrid wave ska started in america
Nah, ska is Jamaica's first form of music. Raggae is a spin-off. Ska was made in the early fifties, the second wave of ska was when it was combined with British Punk. Were in the third wave right now, with stuff like Reel Big FIsh and Sublime and Strretlight Manifesto...etc.
SO three waves
1) Ska was created in Jamaica, it was simple, and focussed mainly on the horns
2) The British took ska and combined it with punk
3) It evolved into a sort of pop/punk, as pretty much all punk did.
Ska (pronounced /ˈskɑː/, Jamaican [skja]) is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae.
@twiggymac Nope, Ska preceeded reggae, it was from Jamaica in the 50's. Reggae came second. Ska punk is the way white people distorted which is Reel Big Fish and most of the other ska bands you probably know
@twiggymac reggae comes from ska. ska started in the 1950s after ww2 when radios first became popular in jamacia and they combined the blues and jazz that they heard in the radio with the carribean music. and then from that raggae was born. then in the 1960s and 70s ska became popular in londan and they added a little more of a pop tone to it, and then in the 80s it came to the us when it was influenced by the punk and skinhead movement.
i feel the original as too slow, a great song none the less just i think its too slow for what the song is doing (its not a blues song, nor a slow love song, i just see it more fitting to the faster tempo).
I agree, I've been hearing the original being played a lot lately, and it annoys me because the Reel Big Fish version is so much better. The song needs to be sped up.

Posers of what, exactly? Sure, they do a lot of covers...they respect other peoples' music and pay homage by recreating it with their own unique spin. And what do you mean "1 album songs"? If you're trying to say that they only have one album, you need to do some research before you talk. They've been around longer than you think.
i really didnt mean anything to be honest i let my cuzin look at my channel and he started commenting videos he doesnt like reel big fish. and plus look at my channel under music one of the bands is reel big fish
