Reel Big Fish, "Ska Show" from Life Sucks… Let's Dance! (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)
Skammentary: Welcome to SKApril, our tenth annual fête of the greatest music known to man, ska! Ska had always sought to foster unity & peace, a message that is all the more important in these days of pandemic & panic, of division & unrest, when we are told by our self-proclaimed betters in government, medical science, & journalism to view our neighbor with suspicion instead of welcome, with fear instead of with compassion.
It is not possible, under penalty of arrest & imprisonment, to gather for a ska show as described in "Ska Show," but in the fullness of time these panic-driven emergency measures must end. Until that glorious day, when we can all skank together as brothers & sisters once again, let's have ourselves a month-long, properly socially-distanced ska show. Welcome to SKApril X!
"Hey, everybody, let's go
Downtown to the ska show,
There's a ska show,
Come on, let's go!
"We want to dance & sing,
And forget about everything,
Don't want to fight or cry,
Just have some fun before we die.
"And there's never any doubt
That's what it's all about!
"Hey, everybody, let's go
Downtown to the ska show,
There's a ska show,
Come on, let's go!
"This invitation is for all,
It doesn't matter who you are,
It don't matter where you're from
'Cause everybody is welcome…
"Let's go!"
