Fishbone - It's a Wonderful Life (Gonna Have a Good Time)

[Wanderlei420]

EQUALITY PEACE & FISHBONE

[SLBON]

Isn't he saying "We're gonna have a good LIFE"? Why does the title of this video say "We're gonna have a good TIME"?

[Whitelighter0926]

AWESOME!

[TheREXTIZOC]

Happy times. Fishbone will ALWAYS be the best band...EVER.



[grunt8652]

Fishbone fucking rocks. Period.

[3bar]

Plain and simple. Good music..Clever video.

[lvn4life]

Do you remember these premiring on MTV during the NYE broadcast?? I do ;-)

[sandracami]

bien inspirée ! ;-)

[oldmov1963]

As a huge film buff and Frank Capra fan and this being one of the greatest American films ever produced I must say this song and video is genius. Respectful to the film and adding a whole new perspective.

[xadiko69]

when I see this king of videos I dont know why I get the feeling that red hot chilli peppers copied this guys awfully taking all the credit for them and pepople bought it man !!! this guys are kings saw them live in the 80s . the golden era !!!!!

[BOBBYDISHable]

i love the eighties!

[jimmyjimbo72]

0:08 - Blwweuwuwuwuewuwuwwwuurraagh!

[VIKINGxDNA]

YEAH, Really cool.

A bunch of nigger crackheads making fun of a classic White American christmas movie.

Stuff those cheap mexican cigars straight up your useless black asses .

PUNKS.

[eyehatepop]

@VIKINGxDNA It's cool. Fishbone would probably make an awesome song about it!

[jbarringer74]

@VIKINGxDNA Don't be mad all you got for Christmas was a little dick.

[iwishiwas88]

there's a lot of really, really stupid comments on this video. most of them surround subjects of race and popular music. these guys are fucking amazing, and that's all that should matter.

[TeaPartyFuture]

CRETINS

[RATMfan92]

I just saw this movie for the first time, and man i gotta say it was one of the best movies i have ever seen.

I also love this song! It's so uplifting! :)

[NeoVictorianX]

I never noticed they were all all black.

[ArmedAmerican88]

POOR POOR black man , just cant seem to get it together enough to live with the honor / Heritage / and style that the white man does.

well oh fuck. let me cry you a river.

[movigrove01]

@ArmedAmerican88 oh dear, I think you might need to get over yourself. Much more fun to be had if we all party together. Trust me.

[movigrove01]

@ArmedAmerican88 I think you need to get over yourself. 

[psychokillz1]

racist assholes if it wasnt for blacks there wouldnt be ska or reggae

[djammes]

@psychokillz1 or jazz, soul, rock and roll, blues.  Well, you can pretty much credit "blacks" for most cool shit.

[trollcrusher242]

Saw Fishbone back on October 14th, 1988 in Chicago, IL at the Cabaret Metro.

Hands down, it was the most over-the-top show that I've ever been to. Just nutso.

During the first couple of songs, Metro bouncers went after the stagedivers. Fishbone stopped mid song, and Angelo told the crowd if they were going to stagedive, then they better do it right. Security backed off and then it went insane from there.

I have NEVER seen so many people stagedive. Literally like a waterfall of bodies.

[trollcrusher242]

People just jumping off of the stage amps, dashing full speed across the stage and then somersaulting (yours truly) headfirst into the crowd.

Guys diving. Chicks diving. Kids diving. Surprised that I didn't see little old ladies with canes diving or people in wheelchairs diving. Wouldn't have been the least bit out of place.

Next day, the Chicago Tribune's music critic did a wonderful review of the show. Boiled down to this: "Bodies. Bodies everywhere. Just flying bodies."

:-) 

[misfithobopunk]

7 people arent having a wonderful life.

[Division1985]

I know it was mentioned already, but I'm gonna repeat it: One of the greatest band of our time..

[chucku00]

Frank Capra annyone ?

[tonebenderx]

Saw Fishbone open for the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1988. it was an amazing show. The boys crushed the Red Hots. It wasn't even a fair fight.

[dirtystavros]

saw them at the Canyons resort last year and they were very big dick!

[gmcg923]

I skipped school when I was 15 to see Fishbone at Temple University's Spring Fling in 1988.

[tnami09]

I've come to realize that we are witnessing what happens when a band refuses to change its spirit from that which was present at its conception. Members stay, members leave, the spirit endures however. Much like how a snake sheds its skin. The current band is awesome btw, I just saw them, and that same garage band, raw, untainted spirit of a deceased fish on a dinner plate endures...

check out Fishbone- "Heat of anger", and "Party with saddam"...

[AndrewAnonymous]

great band, great movie, great song. wtf am i doing sitting in front of a computer?

[KoivuTheHab]

Is this the guy who was in ARGH! It's a music war?

[gilgamess]

@KoivuTheHab Fishbone were not in "URGH! A Music War". UB40 and Steel Pulse were, though.

I saw Fishbone when the opened for the Red Hot Chili Peppers; Fishbone only had the EP, RHCP, the one album.

[elmatadorwangmachino]

jesus h christ i love fishbone

[Improv]

Wait...are most of you comparing a rock/ska band to...hip hop?

Wooooooooooow

Like the two can't co-exist together?

Don't blame hip hop for the lack of exposure, blame the industry. Matter of fact, listen to Rock Star off the Chim Chim album.

[GunsWillStopYou]

Just another bullshit tune where a half dozon street shit NIGGERS do their best to put down white people.

No matter how you try to help these baboons , WELFARE-AFFERMATIVE ACTION.

BLACK COLLEGE FUND .

EVERYTHING.

they still fall down in the gutter at age 13 and blame it all on the white man.

[billcosby66662the2nd]

Redneck

[MistressBellatrix]

You're just pissed because Fishbone is all black and you KNOW they fucking rock!

[elena1431]

@MistressBellatrix allday yo

[TehFreakk]

@GunsWillStopYou yup. cause thats totally what this song is about

[thedude3214]

@GunsWillStopYou KILL WHITEY!!!!!

[KileyDean]

@GunsWillStopYou raciest fagg.

[darbymack213]

@GunsWillStopYou chinga tu madre puto 

[kittyq]

This song used to make me wanna break stuff out of pure excitement!

The b-side to the vinyl of this track is hilarious.

[tedv66]

0:42-0:43  =)

[jamesrubino]

1:53-1:55. Fishbone is red hot indeed.

[hotei87]

I dont mind some hip hop but lets face it on one side we have horrible teenage girl pop rock and thousands of hip hop artists that all sound the same to me

[radikalirie]

[dedman9669]

Fishbone is an amazing band with a dirty secret...

They call him Walt.

[fishbone3333]

One of the greatest band of our time... I never miss an opportunity to see them live.

To alinanazarenko: grow up and shut up. You're a kid. Learn to spell. Learn.... SOMEthing (might I suggest manners?)! You got bounced from a party and now you're bitter... walk it off. That crybaby routine won't work in the real world, so save your allowance and buy some shoes with arch support. Get used to walking.

[Kkrouton]

That is great.

[Kkrouton]

I'm betting there was a pinata and a clown making balloon animals at the party he was at.

[MALINFAN]

No....

Totenhawk

no.

YOU are way off.

This isnt a white thing nigger thing....this is a rock and roll thing.

Let it go.

Let that shit go.

You'll thank me later.

Life is short...you might wanna let some of that shit go.

It's only Rock and Roll.

[skawesome]

haha, ignorance. im sure you're just insecure about your penis size or something.

[Kirstyn213]

Fishbone is sick!! Angelo Moore is the bomb!

[fuegomachete]

[jsb1750]

Waaaaay back in the day 20+ plus years ago), there was a show called "Night Flight" which aired on the USA Channel on late Saturday nights. I taped this video from the show and still have it after all this time!

[NeutronDance]

I remember seeing this during AL TV or Dr. Demento

[dkityy]

[goovnoh]

verry nice

[subtleyetloud]

Thank you! This was the 1st fishbone anything I'd everheard or seen back when it was on 120 minutes. LOVE this! LOVE fishbone! fishbone is red hot! if you've never seen them live, you havn't lived!

[zx7gp]

Yeah,,a bunch of us white kids in the 80's up here in vancouver B.C.Canada were BLOWN AWAY by these guys live at the commodore.Cant say enough about they're live show.These mo-fo's tell ya"put down those turntables and learn how to play!"No substitute raw talent!We miss you guys.

[Micanaya]

best f**king live band on earth!!!

[darklittlepoet]

Thanks for this...never seen it before! Always have loved the tune, and obviously the band...

[dirtydeedsdnb]

Fishbone.. The kings. the hottest. the most underrated.

The Legends!

[hachibeach151]

Yo, this is the stuff of music that makes the current hip-hop drivel look purely amateur. The world needs more of bands like Fishbone, and less of music from untalented rappers paid million of dollars to record useless garbage on the radio...and have their lives lost somewhere down the road.

hb151.

[jsb1750]

I agree. The current (not the 'Ol Skool) bunch of Rappers are disposable. The corporate suits will desert them, like the suits have always have done in other musical genres(i.e. doo-wop, Motown, etc). The banks will foreclose on the "Cribz"; the car dealers will repo the Escalades (sic). Back to the 'hoods or reality show TV? The point is, who'll know who these rappers were in twenty years? We know Fishbone.

[hachibeach151]

If this was a forum, I would rep you for this post.

hb151.

[MUN7001]

why do you have to compare Fishbone to rappers?

[GabrielRO8]

cause you're a loser

[oramikleepunk]

These guys were around before rap...

[MUN7001]

by the way, hiphop was around the flippin early eighties late 70s, around the same time they started, what hte hell are you talking abou tt

[oramikleepunk]

these guys were underground...never pop like rappers.

[MUN7001]

why do you have to refer to rappers, there are alot of rappers who aren't pop , you dimwitted fool

[feickerr]

I love this song! Haven't heard it since the '80s.

[bunaen]

Thanks for posting this. It's the best!
