99 Red Balloons Ska Cover

[TheDynamoblitz]

99 STUKA sing this better over ENGLAND, is a german song boys

[yapurehefty]

Having trumpet and trombone in a song doesn't automatically qualify it as ska...

[NGEFTIC]

Fcking awesome SKA! wahaha

[thomeyes]

anybody have a copy of ska humbug doing this? circa 1993. The song really does work in ska style, keep practicing.

[dierova]

Whoever contract them ask for ur refund they sing awfullll n they stainnned the word (ska)

[Youtubican]

Who ever told that guy he could sing?

[ConvinceTheWorld]

this is awesome

[evanescencerawks]

Hello, I am a keyboard warrior, I see I am not alone here, there are many, many more below my comment. Anyway, instead of giving constructive criticism, I am going to try my hardest to make myself look as big a douche bag as I can be, and thus, my comment my be filled with derogatory words aimed at you and your band, because I clearly have no respect for musicianship and the practice it takes to get to doing what you guys did, and I can do it better anyway, good day.

[NorthernSoulGer]

this is about as SKA as the Queen of Spains Tits

[imnotmitchturino]

Tell your 'bone player to stop being a pussy and play it in the correct octave.

[48154815Bp]

Ska? I'm thinking two practices were not enough.

[wiolinga07]

vokal-terrible, where is the SKA????????? Very, very bAAAAAAAd cover.

[sidwerd1hater]

The German vocals part sucked. Other than that, great job!

[747ior]

nigga yr bass player sucks dick

[nomorefearimhear]

a little bit of tuning the instruments would have been a nice idea...

and not that i'am too much of an expert, but i am part of a band writing their own ska-punk songs since 2 years and as far as i'm concerned this song lacks the ska...

bit off-beat would've been nice

[subject2change13]

I have to say, that was very good. Nice cover!

[AndyKenny730]

You need to learn what ska is. this video is not only misleading, but the instruments all sound flat. learn up on music before you try to make a cover. and never call this sort of garbage ska. never.

[StuPadazzo]

Wow. It was good until he started screaming.

[sluttyemily69]

just cuz there is trumpets and stuff it doesnt make it ska!!...IDIOT

[DerPunkfreundGER]

where's the ska ?

[666alikat]

buy a faggot ballon?

[hutch1111111]

As a true lover of music, you guys did a great job!

[iplayguitar420]

eww, wtf did you guys do with the horns??

[BlistersOnMehFingers]

personally i think the vocals are great

[Cocoheadnuts]

Yeah, Cool Stuff! .... Skank the Scum away ;-)

Please support our Channel, too!

[blueberries4ever]

Nena did this originally circa 1984.

[DanDYpr88]

great idea

[wintertaler]

Great punk rock show guys!

[captgjohnson]

hate to be a troll but the vocals were terrible.

[dpa04]

this is funny but great. :)

[caffinatedchad]

@0edward0cullen0 sorry i wan't aware that this was originally hers there is still some irony though

[caffinatedchad]

isn't ironic that the band that originally did the song , goldfinger, is a ska band but they just left the horns out of their version of the song

[0Edward0Cullen0]

@caffinatedchad Nena did it originally. :b

[BeezTrollin]

nice cover man, i like the vocals, i don't like audio fixed vocals :)

[XxPunk248xX]

The German Part -> Fail !

[yseaw1]

Das Rockt!

[thomsy14]

wicked don't listen to anyone else

[Necrophiliac7]

It sounded great. I don't know why everyone's panties are in a bunch.

[rocko562]

the vocals mess up the whole song

[djbraindeath]

the vocals suck big time

[mightysh33p]

Vocals are great, but the instrumental...

the vocals are punk rock!

[evilreapinb14ch]

awesome.



[LongRangeBullet]

Nice! I love it

[samarchist]

keep it rude boys effing epic effort

[bekloepptchen]

thats awesome! those 97 who dislike it must have seen another video... ;)

[upskirtdrummer2212]

This is god awful. Oh geez

[DJGibsonSG]

@upskirtdrummer2212 This is actually good.. lets see you do better

[refentil]

is liked the end, when it was over

[MelanieVampireFreak]

Goldfinger is so much better <3 This sucks soo hard. Vocals are bad. D:

[ManicRant]

Pretty good for a one show type thing. Goldfinger's cover is awesome tho!

[Danny55022]

this is good :) it's kinda catchy :) makes me smile lol

[SamChiliPepper]

Absolutely awful singing. Try the Reel Big Fish version, it kicks this one's ass.

[trifectaepsilon]

@SamChiliPepper HA..HAHA! don't you mean Goldfinger's version?

[SamChiliPepper]

@trifectaepsilon No, I meant Reel Big Fish's version; they're a ska band ..

[trifectaepsilon]

@SamChiliPepper ha alright. please send me a link where i can listen/see RBF playing 99 red balloons.

[ernestryles]

@SamChiliPepper reel big fish never covered 99 red ballons it was goldfinger

[AylatheRaichu]

Work on your vocals, but other than that I like where you went with this.

[flowermusic1997]

That sounds like much fun =) Nice job guys =)

[GrapefruitMachine]

so i think that this could've been more horn involved, it would've been kinda kool if you could've changed the mood of the song to make it better, all i say in this was you performing a cover of a cover with some horns in there. And i don't think he's a bad singer, this just isn't the kind of thing he should be singing. other than that stuff, nice job

[ronaXleigh]

the band is good ^_^ ..

[brandonparrish18]

i like his singing i think it sounds fine

[MrTrombone94]

nice singing.......NOT. :D :D :D

[datseeman]

u suck at singing but the band is good

[JennyLeik]

Shouldn't really complain should they, I dont see them doing a better Job. :P x

[vampirepunk24]

one thing I can say is good job in the way you added the brass to the song...other then that nothing good to say so won't say anything.

[xarealpersonx]

Vocals and guitar sucked.

[08154711n]

nice, uhhm are the shoute or singer of your band? oh and btw listen to the original by Nena not GoldFinger then try again

[sadierfe]

Hate to break it to you all, but that guy can't sing....

[EmoLifeOver]

@sadierfe not breakin any news to the sane people :) lol sorry guys but this song just isnt very good...

[Jontenn]

Isn't the defention of ska a backbeat, that this song misses and therfor you fail.

[RontoWolfBackUp]

wow o.o that was actually rly good

[plimptonrocksmysocks]

i actualy liked the vocals, they arent too bad

[BusterDeacon]

Looks like you had fun. There's no sign of ska here, but keep playing and keep enjoying the music.

[sabradan]

Vocals are pretty shite. Und das deutsche ist shiesse.

[213mark132]

dude you can play guitar and i qeus math but you cant sing

[L74L]

wow. these kids did good.

[birdbrain5381]

I gotta be honest, that was awesome!

[WolfStorms44]

haha this is awsome

[HigherGround93]

The vocals could use work. But it takes balls to sing in front of a crowd.

[shraeder80]

call me a critic if u want, i dont giave a crap but... vocals: Sucked... horns: even worse... overall 1-10 1 being the best and 10 being the worst: 10. not enuf ska, too much distortion, too slow, u shouldve practiced for about another year b4 you performed this in front of ppl. if they thought this was good, they chould go listen to the song b4 they make tht call. sry... NOT! u all suck!

[Mazza4Azza]

@shraeder80

So if they listen to the original song, then listen to this song and call it crap? You are wrong. Very, very, very wrong. This is their own cover, they are not making an exact copy. You dont just listen to the original song and then compare it to a cover and say its bad. YOU SUCK.

[shraeder80]

@Mazza4Azza it dont matter if they r making an exact copy or not. they suck at playing and theres too much low brass and not enuf trumpet. so stick tht in your juice box and SUCK IT!!

[Mazza4Azza]

@shraeder80

Shut it. You don't know what music is.

[shraeder80]

@Mazza4Azza HA! u dont know who ur talkin to. I konw wut music is. ive been in band since 5th grade, ive been in a band for 2 years, ive been playin guitar for 5 years, my dad and my rhythm guitar player's dads have been in a band together for 18 years, and his dad still is, and my dad and I have a bigger music collection thn ANYONE we know. and he know ALOT of ppl. so get ur head out of ur ass and listen to so9me ACTUAL music. PEACE!

[Mazza4Azza]

@shraeder80

Haha. So now you start to talk. Ok, if you know so much about music, why dont you respect it?

[shraeder80]

@Mazza4Azza i respect GOOD music. and GOOD sounding music. i mean they dida mediocre job but it wuznt rite. tuning wuz horible too

[Mazza4Azza]

@shraeder80

I can give you that it has an awful sound, but music is music. Good or bad.

[shraeder80]

@Mazza4Azza yes but good music makes ppl happy

[Mazza4Azza]

@shraeder80

lol like Living in the sunlight loving in the moonlight by tiny tim

[shraeder80]

@Mazza4Azza i prefer to live in the Limelight. tht way i dont have to worry bout getting sunburn lol

[Mazza4Azza]

@shraeder80

lol!

[shraeder80]

@Mazza4Azza plus limelights a good song so yea

[Mazza4Azza]

@shraeder80

yeah :)

[punkandoi69]

pretty good

[SporeKore]

at first i thought the vocals weren't THAT bad..... then i listened a little bit more

[TheSchnok]

Oh WOW I would be so embarrassed to sing that badly! Someone listened to a little too much Rock Lobster before the show

[vester8099]

nice cover but not really ska...u might want to speed it up a little

[CHIMIFEDE]

lindo cover

[fjende]

ya nice... but...

can you tell me.. where is the ska part in this video? cant find one...

[isukatlax]

@fjende maybe its the fuckin horns section cuz you know um thats a pretty big part part ska dude

[iAmTheLurch]

this was wonderful! :D

[peddytheviking]

Refreshingly different - I like it. Pity the recording didn't pick up the vocals better.

Thanks for posting ;-))

[synth77]

sorry,vut i wouldn't call this a ska cover, ska is nomall sped up off beat and the bassest isn't doing very much in comarision to a song like wrong way

[PeaceLoveShianne18]

This is pretty sick!

yes the vocals aren't the best but this is amazing XD

[dakotagonz]

thank you for doing a ska cover of one of my fav ska songs!

[mazter101]

it was good...they had the ballz 2 go up der an any of u tlkin shit should get kicked in the clit

[TheKlaySniper2]

Good job boys. Try harder and you'll ace it!

[CyperOfficial]

A little more practice on everything, + faster, would have been good. But nice nice.

[MBKSKANABIS]

This is pain for my ears

[ttocsrekrap]

Good job boys. Too bad ur not an "actual" band. You should think about doing this on a regular basis. I'd be interested in hearing you guys progress.

[khalifdove]

stop talking crap people i meen for real......

[JOHNNYQUESTCHOKEHOLD]

you need more guitars and a bass lol.

still fun. good job. 3/5

[narutouzumakie]

They have a Bassist

[dropzer0schecter]

The vocals suck.

[sandraixoye]

@dropzer0schecter jajaj yes

[SergiuFruja]

@dropzer0schecter at least he's trying :D ... I've seen worse in bands pretending to be bigger

[CierraGunderson]

This is pretty hard.

[faqjzed]

agreed. definitely should have been an octave higher.

[bondproof2]

definitely agree that the horns should've been an octave higher. at least the trumpet, it sounds so sick when it just blares up there. other than that, sounds good boys.

[AFLoneWolf]

If the horns could take their stuff up an octive it would have been so much better

[nanycoy]

omg dman ok this is the goldfinger guitar with an other trumpets and horns... ok its just ok

[PunkDirector86]

Very good

[kdogchamps55555555]

make more and my dad will offer u a contract

[TFOT54]

i like this version better than goldfinger's even though they are both relly good this version uses more brass instruments which is awesome

[alvarez1337]

sounds like the goldfinger version ! great job!

[MattNintendo64Nerd]

great job.=D

[MrSmrtynikkers]

The concept was interesting but the horns were way out of tune and the singer murdered it hard

[charm52283]

awesome, this vid makes me smile. <3 it

[JeSuisMonAmiPourTu]

Love this! it's so cute; what a great idea and the performance is good !

[c0mmissarKar]

[pcsbyte]

[davidbball13]

drums sound very solid

[Trampless]

i fail to see the 'ska'

[politicalBG]

not bad for a non-group one time thing

[punkrckr3]

need to work on it alot more

and the singing needs a lil work

and the horns need to tune themselfs

but i like the atempt!

[Streetlight7329]

I like your attempt at spelling attempt. Good effort punkrckr3. You'll get them next time. I just know it!

[punkrckr3]

lol spelling was never my strong point

[mcmeekz]

horns are badly out of turn and need more work

[smugglertrev]

The balloon, at the end, really made me laugh!

[atzewellblech74]

dit is doch keen SKA... scheiß ami-pogo-müll

[OneZeroFour104]

That's not a bad cover of a cover of a cover at all, for two practices.

[Rudy0HWow]

its not even ska its more like a punk beatish sht

[Cobainpunk74]

ooooo. He needs to work on singing

[KrunchyGoodness]

speak german

[ThatTallskaterguy]

You suck then, Ska kicks ass

[robbberttto]

SKA SUCKS

[JWBails]

HOW DARE YOU let me guess...you like...KINGS OF LEON!!!!! and ARCTIC MONKEYS!!!

[robbberttto]

no i neithar like that i like AC/DC, zz top,metallica,megadeth,motorhe­ad,led zeppelin,sodom,pantera,sepultu­ra

[darkmortality]

no offence,but out of all of your list,only led zeppelin is good.

[ChemicalCrimson]

fucking metalheads criticizing anything that isnt Classic rock, grow the fuck up and open up to new things

[robbberttto]

you grow up SOB you can suck my dick AND HEAVY METAL IS NOT ONLY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE JACKASS YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE CAUSE SKA SUCKS

[ChemicalCrimson]

(sigh)..you seriously need therapy or something.

I never said metal is for only for young people...you did

I only said "grow the fuck up and open up to new things" so put down the emo kid for one second and listen to what you say and what others say cuz youre only going to make yourself look like a bigger idiot than you already make yourself sound like...just becasue YOU dont like SKA doesnt mean it sucks, it only means YOU THINK it sucks.

[sodapopinski12]

Nice sound for the time alloted, but would it kill you guys to move around a bit?

[Ek0shi]

Too bad you couldn't get a better singer. And you weren't really energetic. But the instruments sounded good.

[mitchelitis12]

voice sound be a bit deeper

[pedrorific]

Excellent cover... liked the drum parts... good job...

[mgshortyx14]

i really like this.

you put it into your own way.

nice job.

and the outfits were a plus haha

[bourn4theAF]

You absolutely butchered the german part...

[KyleLovesSka]

that was good, only I think that the brass should be a little higher pitched.

Also, you guys need to have some fun while on stage. everyone is just standing around.

[PaintballProductions]

look at the info bar thingy haha they arnt a band just messing around.

[KyleLovesSka]

i relized that after i made the comment. lol o-o

[adricarde]

gooood!
