  • That's some horrible skanking lol XD

  • Dope!

  • That is too fucking legit; I would have ran my ass up there with everyone else. Great fucking song, and a school doing a ska cover none the less.

  • @StellarReality Nice misuse of the word "legit" faggot.

  • @l337man4

    "l337man4"  nuff said.

  • @StellarReality mfw I made this account literally 5 years ago. It was a troubled time in my life. Also, mfw I have no face.

  • @RdSoxFan618 Yeah thats true but i dont live anywhere near MA haha i just got lucky and say them on a related video to the mighty mighty bosstones its so sad ska-some society broke up.

  • Haha I saw I think a member of this band at a Streetlight Manifesto show in Worcester last year. Well he was wearing a Ska-Some Society shirt and I am guessing this band isn't exactly known by anybody outside a 10 mile radius of their town.

  • kinda weak i dunno...

  • Oh, and it's actually called skanking not 2-stepping.

  • I like how they all dressed up as a rude boy.

  • Wish i went to this school! Where is it anyway?

  • @Clemsonfan1212 Westfield, MA

  • Wow I sound like a square saying it was Dexy's Midnight Runners originally.

    But the Save Ferris version is a lot better.

  • holy shit! this is awesome!

    It's so hard to find good ska covers on youtube! but this one has dancing too!

  • I love everything about this, except maybe the vid quality. When I was in high school back in the 70's, everyone was too cool/high to respond in any way to a performance by their fellow students. Kids today are the best!

  • Reminds me of american pie...

  • That looked liked serious fun. Good job.

  • @kaosprods it WAS serious fun. arguably the highlight of my junior year of high school.

  • theyre from my area i saw them with big d and the kids table was not bad at all.

  • @PUNKXx666 we're opening for them again at Pearl Street soooo if you need discounted tix get in contact with us!

  • @punkskabassist87 yeah i heard they were coming back i will definately be there.

  • i love ska...nobody in my lame city knows what it is unless i leave out to the real la...lol i wish my school talent shows had THIS talent.

  • That looks like fun

  • bad cover..

  • i like how white people think they can skank.

  • i never seen a black man skan

  • No te olvides de "The Clash".

  • they were pretty good. the problem was that the players couldnt really concentrate with all the people dancing on stage.

  • So Cool Ska and everybody goe sto teh stage!

  • Ska is my favoritre music genre.

  • shut the fuck up idiot.

    you think i dont know that save ferris covered the song?

    they did a awesome cover.

    i was talking about how dexys midnight didnt get any credit whatsoever....

    so dont argue unless you know what i was talking about idiot.

    please no one else reply to it.....

  • Comment removed

  • the only problem i have with this is....that your description says its a 'save ferris' cover song.

    wow....thats probably more ignorant than saying the jonas brothers wrote stairway to heaven.

    just sayin....

  • I agree.

  • So it's a cover of DMR, but it's a "copy" of Save Ferris, because they didn't change anything from the Save Ferris version. A cover is when you slightly change a song but keep the same sort of idea. This is a "copy" of Save Ferris and an unoriginal "cover" of Dexy's Midnight Runners...very good copy of Save Ferris though, and it had lots of energy! Every instrument sounded great!

  • yeah but they are covering the ska punk version, not the original...so yeah

  • hahaha man i wish i knew that many people who liked ska! especially at my school!

  • the best cover cover ive seen 10/10 love it

  • chikita armada!!!!! jajajajaja

  • GEnial, que bien que tocan

  • The coolest thing is when all the guys join the scenario and start skanking that shit rocked!!!, nice trombone players on this band, awesome!!!

  • are you deaf, the trombones were god awful! god my ears are bleeding

  • actually ive seen waaay worse, i would actually say theyre very good. its hard as fuck to make a trombone sound good.

  • you have to be kidding me, the trombones were god awful on this, the worst sound ive ever heard produced from a trombone, everyone else was great

  • Aww, great cover! I wish my school got as excited about ska as your school does. To quote one of my classmates:

    "What the fuck is ska? Some kind of African country?"

  • youtube i recommended i watch this...i would like to thank youtube, because i love the covering of covers, well done...that was skawesome ^^

    was the little skank pit planned or do you come with your own little group of rudies?

  • only the first two kids were planned...the rest just joined in spontaneously

  • hahaha that's cool.

    5 Stars! Awesome

  • and sadly i remember wearing a shirt that said..."I came on eileen" lol

  • LOL

  • haha

  • Comment removed

  • POGO!! hahah.. it's been a while... :-D

  • GREAT!! The trombones are too loud though.

  • ah to quote a great man.

    "Never look at the trombones; it only encourages them."--Richard Strauss

    Plus trombone is the loudest instrument and one of the few instruments that can really imitate a voice when played well.

    Nevertheless great cover of one of the greatest songs of the 80s.

  • That is a great quote by an amazing man. Kudos.

  • you do realize they are covering the cover of come on eileen....

  • and... your band is too good for it?

  • did i say anything like that? no... I was pointing out that bomberman said covering an eighties song... im pretty sure save ferris and this song were in 90's...

  • there covering a cover...

  • Really nice band O_O! I don't see a problem with them 2 stepping, actually is pretty fucking cool to do it with this song, it feels awesome, 'cause the rhytmn is enough to make you want to do it :)! Not trying to be disrespectful to such an awesome classic ^^!

  • that "fag" 2 stepping is an awesome kid, and sadly he died in a car accident recently RIP carlos

  • :D Rockin!

  • stfu kindly. :D

  • douche

  • I agree, i dont agree with the name calling though,,,BUT you dont 2 step to a song like come on eileen, the songs been around longer than the 2 step

    other than that,,,,REALLY EFFIN GOOD JOB

  • hey, as long as you're dancing to the tunes we play we could care less

  • dude you need to stfu really

  • Way better than my rich ass school in connecticut

  • three thumbs up!

  • this shits bangin

  • Oh snap! There's cats skankin left an right.

  • Out frecking Standing. Well Done.

  • ohhh shittt!!!! this is friggen awesome!

  • No ska band should have three trombones, hahaha. Just playin, sounds real good though.

  • awesome awesome job guys.. two thumbs up!

  • westfield highschool is the shit!

  • The trombone player was really gettin into it lol

  • best cover yet on youtube

  • Good cover of this song

  • Damn skanking was weak, go CRAZY!!! Badass band, they not only killed it, but they also raped, maimed, and tortured it (in a good way) XP

  • SKA IS THE BEST

  • this is an awesome cover

    way to be some good old ska into a great song

  • the ska dancers sucks jajaja

  • i WISH i could have gone to a school as awesome as this.

  • amazing!

  • i love how everybody started skanking!!

    though they shouldve kept it neat and in a circle :P

    still great. its good to see people are still

    into this.

  • wtf why is everybody walking around the stage?

  • Because ska is intoxicating.

    They were drunk of awesome.

  • haha YES! good strong trombone players!

  • HUZZAH!!!!!!!!

  • AWESOME!

  • Sounds pretty danged good! The dancers "skanked" like I did when I was in high school, too, so I guess I can't blame them.

  • It was the cool thing to do at that show, apparently!

  • Really good the horns sound a tiny bit flat but that could just be the recording but good job

  • the fucking best thing in the world

    this show, with all the feeling, love it

  • God i love skanking! I skank all day long. I even skank during sex. i skank on the crapper. long live the skank!!

  • ehh, lol ??

  • Awesome, overall. There were parts where it sounded out of sync, and the skankers weren't really skanking to the beat (but the fact that there are people where you live who still skank is pure awesome).

  • The essence of Ska...

    having fun, danceing like a retard, and looking good while doing it.

    I wish i had been there

    sick nasty

  • this is really good :D thumbs up, except for the chorus, the singing is off

  • thanks!

  • great job guys :D

  • the band was good,

    the dancers were good, but...

    the singers really sucked not even one could make it to the tone... really crappy singing...

  • hes right, it was a good effort, but they were mostly talk-singing if you know what I mean.

  • what are you talking about? they're singing the notes to the song!

  • i can barely hear the trumpet... the horns sound like buzzing locusts

  • SAM ASCIOTI IS MY HERO!

  • And Dexy's Midnight Runners sang the song better....

    But these people did do a good job

  • Yes actually this is just my opinion no offense but the band save ferris sucks the voices sound like sirens or something...

  • zu geil!=)

  • me alegraron el día, saludos

  • No offense but I just dont like Save Ferris, so if you would've had a guy singer cover it, that would've rocked. The women voices just kill the song.

  • the original dexy's version is a dude

    it makes no sense with girls singin

  • Exactly. Not only that, but its a guy singing it, so it has more feeling to the song.

  • It's our band's cover of a cover song done by a Third Wave ska band called Save Ferris, who has a female singer.

  • o don't get me wrong man, i love the save ferris version, and this cover is brilliant

    all im sayin is the context is off with a female singer. i definitely wouldn't say the female voices kill it. these ones are great

  • that was bad ass. Great job

  • sounds just like Save Ferris.

    =]

  • Last time i checked the save ferris wind section sounded a lot better then that

  • It does sound better, but they did do a solid job.

  • Ska never die!

  • i had never seen so many muppets on stage...

  • Wow!

  • lol just great, the guys, that came on the stage, fantastic :D

  • great show =D

  • outstanding 6****** oops cant rate ir a 6 stars? pff doesnt matter for me its a 6 ;0) keep it up!

  • I was there and i lived it. Some of the best Ska-Some has done.

  • Haha, thats pretty good. Those skanking kids were supposed to go on, right? Haha.

    Fucking sweet.

  • The drummer sounded great too. It's hard to notice with all the other indtruments.

  • Ska Rulz!!!

  • brass doesnt sound the best but all in all thats pretty fucking sweet

  • ska not dead

  • if they wanted to ruin a perfectcly good song, well then they succeded

  • fag

  • it's called having fun my friend

  • Awesome!

  • love it how all those poeople just run up and start dancing and luvnsoul is right this song is by dexy's midnight runners

  • DUDE

    you guys rock so hard

    srsly

    i love how you can get THAT many people to come onstage

    nice shit

  • bari sax is playing with a really nasty sound

  • it's a bass trombone

  • the brass sound smells

  • f.y.i. the song isn't by save ferris. its originally by dexy's midnight runners. but the version you covered is save ferris.

  • see thats what im talking about! you know you did good when people go up to skank! super duper kudos!

  • Yeah, I was the first dude to jump up there and skank...the one in the black shirt and grey shorts at 1:29. KICK ASS SHIT

  • is that chick hawt, i cant tell

  • which one? there are four of them on stage!

  • the back ground sound is solid.

  • That is true the background is solid but the singing .......... there is nothing to say

    William Hung could do better!

    and that is not saying much

  • its ok. you shoulda played TNS!! its better. but i still liek this song.

  • god, they've got like nine people. fun.

  • no offense to the band members and Katie and Marie, but your vocalists cannot sing ska for shit. Sorry to break to to you, but those girls are terrible.

  • Who's this?

  • that part at 2:00 is bugging the hell outta me.

    It starts off TOTALLY wrong.

    I think the only good part was all the instrument players and the SKANKin'!

  • The Skankin made meh happy in mah pants :3

  • Ya Noe.....E Horns Were Compact but i cant say e same f0or e Vocals...Sorry!But if its an added bonus,i totali Loved e Skanks & e guy in e RED T-Shirt doin sum Free Stylng.Btwn him & e Band,i thnk Ya guys need to try harder to overshine him....L8R!

  • Wholly crap, talk about off not.

    LEARN HOW TO SING!.

  • They need to learn how to harmonize.

    All covers of Come On Eileen suck balls.

    The original was the only worthy one to listen to.

  • lol you guys are soooo good.

  • Not bad, but check out the version a group at my school did. It should be in my channel.

  • Yeah, I believe I commented on your version...I noticed there's some difference in the way your bassist plays the chorus and the way I do.

  • Yup, that's what led me to comment on this one too, just returning the comment. :)

  • Look at all those dirty skanks...

  • Ok, buddy, if you're insulting my friends there's going to be trouble. No joke.

  • dude, i was trying to be funny (notice the PUN??)

  • i cant stand it wen people cant take a fukin joke

  • MY BAND WAS BETTER THAT NIGHT!!!!! (Beneath Dying Embers)
