Skammentary: "The Guns of Navarone," as roots ska, doesn't fit neatly into SKAugust's focus on third-wave ska-punk, but it does satisfy the rules of this particular SKAugust, insofar as one could have listened to "The Guns of Navarone" in the Year of Our Lord Nineteen Ninety and Eight.
"In the winter of Nineteen Sixty and Four came this movie to Jamaica. The Skatalites took the music from the movie, put it to the ska, came up with this song. It's called… 'The Guns of Navarone.'"
