The Interrupters, "She's Kerosene" from Fight the Good Fight (The Last Angry Rude Boy)
Skammentary: We close this time-displaced, ninth annual SKApril with "She's Kerosene" by The Interrupters, the biggest ska hit in two decades, one of the prominent signs of the "fourth wave" of ska finally arriving. The Interrupters are definitely on the punk end of the ska-punk register, but "She's Kerosene" features a relentless syncopated rhythm (the famous "ska guitar") & howling electric organ.
"He said—Happy SKApril, rude boys & rude girls! Stay tuned for the SKAfter Party & we look forwarding to seeing you again in SKAugust, when I have a ticket to see The Mighty Mighty Bosstones in concert.
"I'm a match, she's kerosene,
You know she gonna burn down everything!
She's an arsonist, in her pastime,
And I've been burned for the last time!…"
