  • @EvilStarBurst Hey, simple solution, don't watch it. :)

  • @JessycaLove143 How do I watch a song?

  • @EvilStarBurst Bleh. You're awful.

  • weltrusten :)

  • LOL the moaning at the end.......

  • @cradlenazi

    You're so shit.

  • Ooh, I'm hungry, baby ;)

  • Does anyone know what album this song is from?

  • @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.

  • i pefer the original but its still good buti like there song sellout

  • "What this too much? I never know."

  • what album is this off of?

  • I personally believe that the original is way better. =/

  • Sorry, but SUBJECTIVE OPINION POSED AS A FACT.

  • this is so shit

  • lol his name is "DuranFan09" of course he wont like this version, he's a fucking fanboy!

  • 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.

  • @DuranFan09

    Eh, Ska isn't for everyone really.

  • @DuranFan09 It's not bad, it's at least equalto the original in many ways, and better in many ways.

  • Better than the original, in my opinion.

  • Wow, white text on a black and white picture — failtastic.

  • Who really cares where ska comes from, Music is MUSIC. just sit back and enjoy, don't question :P

  • ska is from scotland mixed with jamacan raegae and american and british punk {excuse my bad spelling]

  • EVERY Reel Big Fish video has people arguing about ska...

  • the lyrics arent good. just like the most of the vids. try to have te lyrics stil on screen when they singing not before there singing. just advice

  • Damn grey lyrics on b/w video!

  • SKA FTW

  • guys just look it up on google type ska wiki.

    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.

  • this is the only cover of a song ive ever heard that i like better than the original

  • Pretty good cover. However, I still think the Duran Duran version is better...

  • nice lounge lizard version. But they make it less enjoyable and very Richard Cheese-ish.

  • ಠ_ಠ

  • i can't read the subtitles

  • man this is fucking awesome XD

  • Who's that at the beginning? xD

    scott?

  • Most likely

  • 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.

  • This band just fuckin' rocks! I just started listening to them and I think these covers are better than the originals!

  • that was great the beginning was hilarious

  • Use different color for the text, please.

  • i gotta agree with you akilbourne they sound waaay better than the original no offence to you who dont agree

  • they speed up songs and make them sound better that the originals

  • i love the beginning to this

  • the original is better this one is like really fast... its kinda like a hip hop/pop song

  • reel big fish is not hip hop/ pop... its called ska

  • yes, this would be ska.

    and if im not mistaken ska is from england?

  • ska's from jamaica

  • im almost 100% that raggea is from jamaica and ska is the way british people distorted it.

    anyone know?

  • 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.

  • 4 if you count ska-core but thats just a sub genre

  • 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.

    From wikipedia

  • @twiggymac No, Ska is from jamacia, and ska was actually around before reggae music

  • @twiggymac I think that both of you guys are right it originated in jamaica and then was further "distorted" by everywhere else haha

  • @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 yes. ska was a short Jamaica fad that lasted all about 7 months before it was slowed down into reggae. then it caught on with the brits

  • @twiggymac i wanna say its california originated, but im not sure though

  • @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.

  • @twiggymac No, from Jamaica ;)

  • @twiggymac yeah its an old style used to eb kinda music

  • @twiggymac No, american. its 3rd wave ska

  • im just sayin its faster than the orignal

  • twiggy cant agree with ya more...love original but i like what they did to it

  • well everyone is entitled to their own views.

    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).

  • @twiggymac

    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.

  • like the duran version better.

    but they integrated the ska really well. good job rbf

  • I'm a major Duran fan and this was hilarious! Loved it! (was this too much? I never know...lol)

  • ya i love the duran version, but this one with all its "silly-ness" and fast tempo makes it that much better

  • Whoa at the begining he sounds like Timothy Olyphant !!

  • These guys are awesome, but I like the original better. But this band is awesome.

  • where did u find this song
