reel big fish-unity

[EmmanuelFriggieri]

Ali Tabatabaeepour from Zebrahead

[stubert311]

i could listen to the first verse for days

[MegaSonicMax]

I'm here due to Ali... it's a great song! ;)

[udlerman]

@voodoo771 I'm aware of that, I was actually like"rbf also has a song called Unity???". (No I didn't assume it was a cover, Mustard plug also has a song called beer so after that...)

[ajtibayan1]

#songoftheday "Unity" (Operation Ivy cover) - @reelbigfish soundtrack365 #ska #punk

[neeeee5eeeee]

This and the Cherry Poppin' Daddies' cover of Sound System are both so much better than the original Op Ivy songs. Not to dis Op Ivy though. This is really good.

[Nookie691]

haha awesome so glad i found that!

[udlerman]

I used to think that this was about the desktop interface... then i actually listened to the lyrics... still have my doubts though

[voodoo771]

@udlerman r u joking?

[udlerman]

@voodoo771 I'm horrible at understanding lyrics. All I heard way the word Unity. Then I looked up the lyrics. I feel stupid now...

[voodoo771]

@udlerman well its originally a operation ivy song just so u know

[theletterpi]

love how it takes off by RBF at 0:30

[Daekline]

hey check out skanimals' channel they have a nice reel big fish cover and the SKArry Potter version of an own skapunk song 'do your own thing' =D

or just check my faves, i liked them!

[Snafu1OH1]

ehh they ruined it

[ECLC104]

@ThePhe4r Ail from Zebrahead reel bIg fish and zebrahead do alot of shit together

[mattyp3400]

this is the actual version if you listen to some op ivy demos on you tube this is how they played unity but changed for some reason for energy i live all versions of this song RBF and op ivy both rock

[heroesandcons09]

guys a lot of artists do covers If you like the video post a comment why you like and like the video maybe even if its really good to you put it to your favorites if you don't like it dislike and post a good reason why you don't like it and saying "ohhh op ivy was the first sooo yea that makes this one suck" isn't what I mean by a good comment.

[ReidTheSuperJew]

Amazing cover...

[nolessonslearned1324]

Awesome, how the hell did the crowd not tear the fucking walls down. I would go mental.

[detroitmayhem]

This is just a rip off of the Telegraph version

[ReidTheSuperJew]

@detroitmayhem They released the original cover of this in 1997, that band was probably just performing it.

[MykeMetyll]

OP Ivy, RBF, and Zebrahead?! FUUUUCK!

[XDzeusman]

fuck vevo for taking the 5 min version off youtube

[LTamazil]

@XDzeusman it's amazing...because that never happens to me. what the hell are you talking about?

[obsidiandeatheater]

Op Ivy did the original version... hahah. I don't know, I like Op Ivy better, but these guys did okay.

[TheMessenger1981]

operation ivy!

[fatboy123123123]

first time i heard this i wasnt paying attention to the vid.. i was like god i love reel big fi--- what the fuck... is this zebrahead? then i watched the vid.. their styles go good together

[ValRudeGurl]

<3

[wrestinc]

pause at zero scotts face lol

[smallzebra1]

I'm wondering why did Ali take part in this song?

But I love Ali and RBF, it's no problem at all, isn't it?

[jrack13]

this is actually my favorite opivy cover. i thought it would be terrible

[TasteLikeMota]

i hate reel big fish

[ThePhe4r]

[Gettinghitonattheban]

[BeatlesColdplay]

Excellent cover

[mightymouse5565]

Ali gets that place bumpin. you see everyone throwing there hands up?!?!? AWESOME! Ali is easily the most underrated musicians of our Generation.

[Owantjaaaa]

[upstix]

ALI ROCKS

[upstix]

THIS IS FUCKIN AMAZING

[raiden773]

Amazing, Ali from Zebrahead !

[JesseLikesFood]

[steelers1500]

@JesseLikesFood

thats because it is the dude from zebrahead

[JesseLikesFood]

@steelers1500 Yeah thats kinda what I meant

[XDzeusman]

ok this versian of the song isnt the first one they did the normal one dosent have alli in it

[DrArlo]

Flame wars on comments of a song about unity? Irony, much?

[heroesandcons09]

I think that both Operation Ivy and Reel Big Fish were good for doing this song Op Ivy was a lil more dark but they were still great with making and preforming the song and Reel Big Fish added a little pop into the song and I think pop in moderation is like adding sugar to your coffee not to much but only enough to make the coffee good

[heroesandcons09]

LYBIA LIBERATION!

[chadfacedbear]

eh, there ain't nothin wrong with another unity song

[CheifKat]

I DON'T WANT NO WAAARRR

[BoomOfThe4thWall]

@VirtualSkater57 Ali Tabatabaee's rhymes are so phat, they -in fact- make Biggie look Small.

Surprising, I know, but it's true.

[porkchopbass]

They actually did a really good job covering op ivy i really like it

[crazygamer8]

Reel Big Fish AND Zebrahead!? I just jizzed my skeleton.

[StudioNFC]

Everyone....please remember what the song is about. Sheesh.

[MyDadWorksAtMarcs]

STOP THIS WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StillmanPWNS]

Reel Big Fish is amazing live.

[gorillabiscuit92]

wow ha that was definitely alot better than i thought it was going to be...i can't believe they were able to pull that off

[ReelBigPotHead]

Stop the hate on these videos guys... Unity, as one all together!!!!

[MartinBuenoNinja]

Reel Big Fish make the best ska covers!!!!!!!!!

[bytor152]

good to kno that reel big fish has got respect for the ska godfathers

[big0ginge]

everybody needs to chiilax. unity fellas

[mmartinez017]

Reel Big Fish + Zebrahead's Ali Tabatabaee = FUCKIN EPIC!

[mattpunk83]

settle down ladies,..your not showing unity at all!!! lol

[Crimeodial]

The RBF always rock. 

[nosympathyskates]

i like this band, but im not into this. they're just over-ska-ing a GREAt PUNK song

[gunsnNhellsing]

@nosympathyskates op ivy ARE ska you retard

[nosympathyskates]

@gunsnNhellsing idk, i always saw them as more punk an less ska, i mean, they're a definate combo of the two, but theres two much horns and skanin vibes in this version

[Crimeodial]

God damn. RBF can rock just about any song. I prefer the op ivy version because I was born in the 80's, but this is nice

[ArloHasPie]

Scott's face at the beginning xD

[bacon767]

op ivy

[xLolitax93]

whenever i get in a bad mood, i just watch rbf on youtube. and awesome mood instantly. lol Aaron is magic.

[originalskankster44]

[BobombX]

Ali fuckin makes this song.

[freelancerpowers]

@BobombX ditto.

[StickyManMaxxx]

Whos rappin ?

[dlwatso15]

@StickyManMaxxx Ali Tabatabeae, hes freaking awesome

[devonedwards013]

This is incredible. Ali Tabatabeae absolutely kills it.

[dlwatso15]

@devonedwards013 what are you high? ali makes it ten million times better

[devonedwards013]

@dlwatso15 killing it in the good way.

[johncerasi]

Amazing!

[Squab777]

holy shit this cover is great! 

[WTFNOW11]

I personally like RGB's remake of the song.

[Bakerskater7890]

They didn't make this version, this is the original version Op Ivy made. Search "unity with horns" and you'll find it.

[ISZoric]

Although Operation Ivy did the original, this is still better! The Zebrahead guy is awesome here-

[canariotra]

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE

[guitarmastar]

Great cover of a great song

[stravos311]

They're so good live. Love RBF!

[dragracedude1]

Ali is awesome!

[deFATpanda]

Ali!!!

[mattyp3400]

great post, i love this version because they are are doing the demo version with the horns which i think is the much better version then the one most commonly herd off of energy

[L84sch0ol2]

op ivy did a version of unity like this??? i had no idea!

[mattyp3400]

@L84sch0ol2 ya it on you tube search for it i had no idea there was gillman street demos theres also another version wit ha cool horn intro

[Armeras]

Operation Ivy wrote this song originally I thought

[mainstreetbootboy]

@L84sch0ol2 op ivy wrote it you stupid turd fuck

[L84sch0ol2]

@mainstreetbootboy hey butt fucker, i know op ivy wrote unity. i've only heard the version from energy though. i didnt know op ivy did a demo version that was like this.

[jawsh95]

@L84sch0ol2 this is the version op ivy did with horns

[joinusinsong]

@L84sch0ol2 I can feel the Unity in this conversation :)

[ibened159]

@L84sch0ol2

they have a tape called unrealeased energy where they had a version of unity with horns in it. that is most likely what they went of of

[zaneybaney420]

@L84sch0ol2 where can you find the demo version

[PumpkinJoe999]

@mainstreetbootboy

Yeah, the operative words being like this one. Way to expose yourself as a poser. Even if he clearly wasn't clearly aware of the source he could have been too young to be aware of the op ivy one, there could be many reasons. But your attack indicates that you are trying to assert your dominance in a scene that barely exists, which you wouldn't have to do if you had your own identity. Way to be a stupid ass dick tird derp

[evanwat]

@mainstreetbootboy

Calling someone a "stupid turd fuck" in a song about unity.

sigh....

[Skafarran]

@mattyp3400 I don't know, i listen to pretty much ska none stop, I quite like the fact that Operation Ivy don't use brass, keeps it more punky.

[ruderevival]

Ive got to say i like the origuinal op ivy more, not to say reel big fish is bad, their not, but i just like the origiinal better

[Armeras]

Ali! :D

[LeviProut]

ali's rapping voice has a really nice crunchy sound to it, its tottaly awsome

[kmanda1]

Ain't nothing wrong with another unity song !

awesome cover !!!!!!!!

[squashbucket70]

woah! why is the rapper from zebrahead singing? i really like it tho. it adds some crunchy vocals

[fattyhasapenis]

isat thingie from zebrahead doin the verses?

[liammatthewsmith]

yes

[toilettragedy]

the bassist dressed like my old man lol

anyway .. it sounds a lot more like RBF than oP ivy RiP

they can always wow me :D

[freakinduck]

i say this as somebody who has a lot of respect for operation ivy and loves what tim armstrong and matt freeman have done, but operation ivy sucks and everybody knows. even the people in the band knew it. and reel big fish took this song and made it incredible.

[radicalaceshasbrin]

faggot

[chuleta1976]

How can u have respect for OpIvy & in the same breath say they suck?  If they suck, then why is every ska/punk hybrid band out there inspired by OpIvy?

[Ragedhard]

Operation Ivy sucks? Are you shitting me?

[SkankinNegro]

@freakinduck what ever your smoking must be some good shit :/

[Viking166]

You´re dumb as dirt.. OpIvy didnt suck. But I do agree this version is a little better then the original..

[THE3HUNDREDS]

this version kiks ass event though the real song by operation ivy is better in some aspects

[deadguy190]

good cover of operation ivy song

[Vagatarian2000]

wow.. crazy

[Thrice13]

Wow, this is amazing. Great job Fish!

[darraghmcb]

nice version

alot faster and great quality

[GiberishElf]

GRATE BALLS

[182LTJ]

people think RBF wrote a lot of songs. like Take on me. I mean they pretty much made that song all their own. As for this cover, it's not Operation Ivy, but rbf does it justice.

[jimpwnedyou]

@182LTJ wait wait wait wait no no no no no, ivy wrote it and did it the justice and had more heart, you sir are a mainstream poptard

[GodofTrombones]

@jimpwnedyou Wait, so because you prefer Op Ivy's version better his opinion is invalid?

[jimpwnedyou]

@GodofTrombones no... Its the fact that reallybigfish gives a shit about the morals behind that song

[182LTJ]

@jimpwnedyou i know op ivy wrote it. thats why i said it's NOT Operation Ivy. Reel Big Fish is a great band and they're paying tribute to a great band. And I highly doubt thinking a cover is good means i'm a mainstream poptard? You sir, are a bitter cunt. Thank you.

[j0o0ol]

@182LTJ as for this cover op ivy didn't do justice because they didn't cover it, they wrote it.

[frix93]

Ali Tabatabaee? :D

[LivingDeadGirl9oo]

eeeh?

[LietuiLyjant]

liuks

[mobeard111]

OP IVY has a way better version because its theirs

[Brixtones]

OPIV has a better version because its more hardcore. their whole album is better than alot of ska albums i enjoy and that says alot being that ska is my favorite kind of music to listen to. regardless, you are correct.

[Haydoosturn]

god bless tim armstrong

[rudirukkler]

the best version of unity i think

[HOBOsnake]

This version was also written by operation ivy just so you know.

Search operation ivy unity with horns.

People give RBF credit for it but op ivy wrote it.

[Lajnus91]

This is way better then the original, much better

[iddtelyoubut]

Thats cuz guy from ZEBRAHEAD! is there

[HOBOsnake]

Are you fucking stupid? Operation ivy wrote this version. search operation ivy unity with horns

[Lajnus91]

This sound better then their version (not the same people singing/playing) so shut the fuck up, don't make stupid comments.

[bradyisbeast12]

personally i think op ivy is better only because they wrote it. if RBF had written this version and op ivy had covered it the same way, i would like the RBF version better.

[HOBOsnake]

Search unity with horns op ivy.

Op ivy did write this version.

[Harska09]

Fuck RBF and fuck anyone who calls this song their "version" of unity. Operation Ivy did a version of unity with horns and the extra verses. It was on "Unreleased Energy". Furthermore, Telegraph covered unity with horns and did a way better job than RBF. So fuck RBF and anyone else who's all about this bullshit and calling it original, or amazing. Learn your shit.

[bradyisbeast12]

Learn yours. RBF covered it without the first chorus, backup vocals and of course horns. Think with your brain, THEN say something.

[Harska09]

What the fuck are you talking about man? Op Ivy eliminated the original verse when they did it too. So have some fucking basis for your argument. Don't bother replying to this.

[TheShift2008]

relax

[Harska09]

Yeah. I was rather rash, and I apologize. However, I don't think that RBF should be considered innovative or anything for this. I just want people to recognize that Op Ivy DID do this. The track is just hard to come by. And while I don't particularly care for RBF, all of you do apparently. Which is cool if that's what you're into. I'm sorry for being an asshole. We just have different opinions, and that's okay. I think I'm bipolar...

[HOBOsnake]

Harska is right. RBF sold out too. RBF didn't make this cover op ivy wrote this version too.

[mustanglp50]

so if somebody does a cover they are sell outs?

[HOBOsnake]

Honestly i just said that because i was super pissed that people thought RBF wrote this. They're not sell outs.

[mustanglp50]

ah, i gotcha mate

[GiberishElf]

chicken santwhedges

[saurons00nazgul]

he's got the heavy flow

[ipathbryansk8]

good cover but operation ivy beats it by far

[paut23]

tru that maaan

[usa4mod]

nothin beats the operation ivy original

[cliffsofdover93]

tim and matt were in op ivy

[cliffsofdover93]

goota give props fo dis song but i love operation ivys verison its there song but i agree with redsoxxplayer

[BillyTalentbound]

Ali Tedbase's here?!? HOLY SHIT!

[Redsoxxplayer]

am i the only one that doesn't really even like the operation ivy version of the song. i mean its ok but reel big fish just gave it so much more energy

[Johnny8242]

I agree.

[TheSkalars]

You're not alone. I personally like RBF's version better, but that's my opinion.

I barely know any Operation Ivy songs, but the only song I like is Sound System (actually, I LOVE that song).

[NOSEFERATU26]

i have to disagree this version is amazingbut nothing beats the original

[SkAPunk002]

fuckin reel big dicks..

killed it..

[laxworld15]

yes it is, and this is an amazing cover

[acesolid]

is that the guy outa zebrahead?
