Skameleon, "Wonderwall" from Ska Makes Everything Better (The Last Angry Rude Boy)
Skammentary: Ska covers of '80s songs is a well known trope of Third Wave ska-punk. Save Ferris's biggest hit was their cover of "Come On, Eileen" & the Reel Big Fish performed their cover of "Take on Me" on the soundtrack of the film BASEkatball. Skameleon, from Germany, take it one step farther: they are a ska cover band. (Think a ska version of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, who perform punk-ified covers of non-punk songs.) Best of all, Skameleon are still at it today, this year, 2019, celebrating 10 Jahre, ten years of ska making everything better.
"Wonderwall" is a ska-ified cover of the Oasis ballad, because it's true—ska makes everything better.
