Big D and the Kids Table - Strictly Rude

[music4alwayz]

This is funky ♥ Love them

[thetook]

The Althea & Donna version is better but this is certainly cool on a different level... not bad at all.

[sismyfavouriteletter]

Is it? That is really a 'melodica'? Why does it sound so great here compared to every other melodica sounds I've heard ...

[EastCoaster97]

I fucking love Big D for making this. I played this for my girlfriend the other day.

[badreligionism]

@EastCoaster97 did you get any?



[treetoptiana]

this is the perfect "sit back and enjoy life" song

[Brmul12]

ska is the ultimate cover genre, hands down. any cover of a song will be 10x better if its covered by a ska band.

[aaronking90]

@Brmul12 I guess, if you really don't enjoy music.

[Brmul12]

@aaronking90 That doesnt even make sense. Why would I listen to any music at all if I didnt enjoy listening to music?

[skankinrich]

This song is soo good live!

[rosalindf90]

The Music is a cover. Most of the lyrics are changed, not all though. The original version is by Althea & Donna- Uptown Top Ranking.

[skankinrich]

@rosalindf90 you are 100% correct. i'm so glad big d covered it.

[DahMasterDebaters]

i once fingered a girl to this

and it was cool

[Antoinegn]

that would be the perfect song to listen to after that you've smoked a joint :-P

[loserfest]

@Antoinegn what about WHILE you're smoking a joint!

[stereosaur]

I dig this version, but yeah the original Althea and Donna version, it much better. Much more raw.

[dreampopp]

Very poor. Go and listen to the original U;town Top Ranking by Althea and Donna.

[Rudeaudio]

original is a mili times better tho

[PenisLover4Evar]

Im only 12, and this is my favorite fucking band. You dont like them, then yu oboviously dont like music<3

[DodoEmperor]

@PenisLover4Evar I was just born, and this is my favourite band. Listened to them since I was 6!

[PenisLover4Evar]

@DodoEmperor Arent they amazing? they're music is DIFFERENT. not like the shit on the radio.

[Antoinegn]

@PenisLover4Evar wtf is your name for ?

[PenisLover4Evar]

@Antoinegn its dare between me&my friends ? see if anyone would notice it out of all the strange names on youtube

[TheLostcarlos]

sounds like a sean paul tune or what ever that jebends names is. far better than his shit! ;)

[1fanofJeter2]

bob marley + ska + extra weed= this song

[obscenethoughts]

just wish his voice didnt sound so young.. not raw enough

[MaryMartinezX92]

i love the tune to this song i dont care if its Big D, Althea and Donna, Alton Ellis or Sean Paul its so catchy!! (but i have to admit i like this one the most) and it does make me feel incredibly sexy lol

[ptgb57pt]

Howcome he says strictly rude? When the real lyrics are strictly roots?

[isdatboss]

@ptgb57pt they changed most of the lyrics and made it third wave ska instead of reggae. To me it seems like Althea and Donna's original was from the chicks side of it and Big D's lyrics are from the guys side

[sslcpunk]

this is a good cover but this is the real one (Althea and Donna - Uptown Top Ranking)

[MyDadWorksAtMarcs]

[metalhead477]

im going to see these guys live at ska in the park in Pomona and my band is going to play there to its going to be awesome!!!!!!!!!! :D

[nickwhesker]

Try driving in the middle of te night with this song playing. You get an awesome feeling.

[antoin3gn]

I'm going on a bender this week-end, I'm gonna get real drunk, I'm not gonna be able to speak and I'LL PASS OUT ON MY FLOOR! I won't be able to answer the door!

She said ...

[MassieBhoy]

I saw them in Glasgow a few months ago when they are supporting Reel Bgi Fish and this was the best song that they played. This made me discover Big D ;)

[unigamer]

@MassieBhoy same :)

[krizzl39]

this song mellowd me out at the concert

[THExxxMEANxxxCRITIC]

O ma god i am so fucking glad i met these guys and found their music a few months ago. Loved ska ever since.

[krs7070]

"Uptown Top Ranking"

[pikabe100]

Nice, they rock!

[Skatelennon]

dude, I saw them at Fredonia State last night. It was fucking insane...

[QuantumDisposition]

They played this last night. The instrument for the intro is so weird, it was like a keyboard he blew in to.

But it was amazing.

[N4SER1]

yeah its called a melodica i just learned this song on it haha

[paulroth101]

It's called a melodica.

[davemeisnerreggae]

it's called a melodica ! search it broo. they're sick

[GelbesRayquaza]

The beginnig sounds likevery much like the Skatalites. :o

Maybe African Root Dub?

[tylercox2]

this is a cover. the original isnt called strictly rude tho. its called "Uptown Top Ranking" or something like that. check it!

[Oisterboy]

This song is so damn smoooooooth.

Strictly rude.

[54mor1544c]

OH my God I have never heard anything like this until now and I fuckin DIG IT

[JennVOGUE]

Good! Welcome to the land of Big D.

(:

[mutilatedpenguin]

@54mor1544c thats the power of ska my friend

[Rudeaudio]

@54mor1544c its a cover.

[Waterworks410]

@Rudeaudio it's not a cover, it's just heavily influenced from strictly roots. the lyrics are changed, but for the most part the music is the same, so it can't be called a cover

[Rudeaudio]

@Waterworks410 then a rip off then? It is completely influenced by " Uptown Top Ranking" not strictly roots. It is as much as a cover as weird al yankovich. its still a decent cover but changing the lyrics doesnt make it any less a cover. I'm not going to rewrite the lyrics of sweet child o' mine and and call it mine.

[gadguard]

@54mor1544c listen to sublime... =]

[camodude51]

IM STRICTLY RUDE !!!!!!!!!!

[waijo355]

White folk cant really do reggae, except for UB40.

[lodecar69]

AAAAASSSSSSSSSSS?

[lodecar69]

micheal jackson

[rakehead12]

what the fuck is your deal,that was just dumb to say

[antoin3gn]

What the fuck michael jackson?

Go fuck a kid, he was killed for the money

[camodude51]

fuck off

[camodude51]

stfu

[SmokinJoeFrazier420]

Athena and Donna's Uptown Top Ranking is far better that this. Big D robbed this from them.

[DrOmg99]

You're right.

[ZouZiPai]

Wrong. Well sort of... Joe Gibbs used the riddim for that tune from an old Alton Ellis side. It was used for a Trinity tune which the A&D song was an "answer" to.

But yeah, this is just god-awful and thise fools should just climb under some rock and forget they ever had the idea to jack a classic.

[bigmamakristen]

jsyk this is a ska band not reggae

[Vienershmaken]

Well, they are a ska band, but I still wouldn't go as far as to say they aren't reggae as well. They have a lot dub influence in their music.

[garrett2341243]

That may be true of this particular album, but in previous recordings they are much more lightly influenced by reggae, I would say, and much more heavily influenced by the 80's style punk movement.

[Vienershmaken]

Yeah, true. I guess it's hard to consider songs like "My Girlfriend's on Drugs" and "Those Kids Suck" reggae. Good stuff all around, though. My band and I will actually have the pleasure of sharing a stage with these guys this November.

[buddahman34]

idc who made it this song is BOSS!!

[coffeebandits]

They "borrowed" this from Althea and Donna a song called Uptown Top Ranking. Look in related videos.

[Prons]

It's pretty common for Reggae bands to "borrow" riddims and such, isn't it?

[GettinOutaJersey]

Yes

[lovezvidz]

just a small thing but, there a ska band.

[crashingonyourface]

yeah third wave

[bmxzalanom]

wow i love this song!!! imadom qrvara jo szam

[receptor24]

i got no style im strictly rude

[ALLIEAPE]

haha i love this song..it never gets old

[TomTom4life]

[crashingonyourface]
