The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril XII

The Red Stripes, "Do the Ska" from Made in Hong Kong (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: The Red Stripes describe themselves thusly:
"The Red Stripes are Hong Kong’s premier Ska band and have been playing to packed audiences all over Asia. Their brand of Ska from a vintage era features a full 10 piece band and hail originally from the UK, Canada and Australia…"
Thus, we know that they like capitalizing ska & hate the Oxford comma.
"You hear the sound of the synthesizer,
Your first kiss and the taste of" [rhymes with synthesizer],
"Buster tunes and the mood is right,
Ska music in the house tonight.

"Do the ska!
Everybody, do the ska!
Do the ska!
Everybody, do the ska!
When you dance the ska,
You forget where you are…"
