[45kingjulien]

very great one of this ones with a great style and perfect solo`s love it

[NibiruHasArrived]

funny song :D



[DJPowerVersion]

Yes, it's the advertising song of VW up. But Baba Brooks was the wrong credits! Yes, you'll hear his trumpet playing, but credits goes original to Roland Alphonso & The Skatalites (as Randy's All Stars)! Fantastic Ska!

[y3ko86]

@DJPowerVersion "Yes, it's the advertising song of VW up." So sad . . . .

[EschbornEbay]

I love SKA. It's happy people music. This song is used in a funny advertisement for a new Volkswagen car called "up". It says: Old things are big, new things should be small. But I still love big cars and this song... oh yeah.

[TheRobertka]

it`s totally hot reggae, i love it very mutch! :-)))))))

[TheFreakychild91]

[TheFreakychild91]

@y3ko86 so ist die welt nun mal ;)

[ExclaimedQuestion]

I listened to 90's punk ska all my life, And here I am, 14 years old, discovering its roots. It reminds me of something I'd play with my school's jazz band.

[schokobrain]

@ExclaimedQuestion

I love the way you discover it! Awesome person, I give you the best note!!!! perfect:)

[y3ko86]

@ExclaimedQuestion Wow, how interesting. Is it cool to state one just entered puberty on videos (that 100 000's of people have been listening to for decades) now ?

[LuizaBelmont]

good job

[aurora2713]

Thanks for Sharing love this!

[badmartianshrew]

Thanks for posting a pic of Baba and for the nice history. I never knew too much about Baba Brooks before this. On the Skatalites live 1981 reunion LP, Stretching Out (released on Roir), Baba get's up and jams with the band, to great applause. By the way, have you seen my little film about Alpha Boys School?

[ramjamclub]

just one of the all time great ska tunes.

never get tired of listening to this one.

bit abrupt ending though.

[minutegongcoughs]

Not sure why it ends like this.

[fuckthewmg1]

@minutegongcoughs i think it ends short cuz the original is like 18 mins long if im not mistaken?

[TheRealGrimRainbow]

What year is this song?

[minutegongcoughs]

Released 1963. On the inimitable "Island WI137" but could of been recorded before that year. This is Baba's version of a track covered by many.

[TheRealGrimRainbow]

Many thanks. Damn though, I wanted to include this song in a T.V Script I'm writing atm but alas it's set a few years earlier.

[badmartianshrew]

There are some cool instrumentals you could use from the period of '60-'63 Check out Mark Lamarr's compilation of Duke Reid produced r'nb and ska on the Trojan label for some choice cuts going back earlier than this.

[zabinho60]

@TheRealGrimRainbow on a CD is written 1965

[tak224]

Randy's !! rispect!!

[minutegongcoughs]

Indeed. The Randy's 50th Anniversary CD compilation is brilliant.

[lazymornings]

Interesting what you said about calling out the name of the song.....I've heard that in more modern stuff too....bet thats where it came from.:)

[lazymornings]

Yea..old reggae rocks....would love to speed the backing up and leave the trumpet the same.

But as it is...pure.

[minutegongcoughs]

Yeah, I'm not sure but this track had a lyric when recorded by other artists pre 1962. There's always a terrific Ska version of what could of been a Middle Of The Road type hit in the late 50's early 60's. This stuff in Jamaica was happening long before the dreaded Beatles. Pardon my French, Gary.

[lazymornings]

The Beatles........It is what it is.

I was listening to 'pete doherty' today again......perhaps I know nothing,I like him....what can I say.....:)

Point being is there's lots of totally different music out there(not in the charts)

We like what we like......

But many people would love many forms if only they heard it.....

I like music thats good...for the most part.

But old skool....is better for the most part, as I think you know;)

It's the overall sound I think.
