The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKAfter Party

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "The Final Parade" from the The Final Parade single (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: "The Final Parade" is a paean to third-wave ska-punk, clocking in at almost eight minutes long (7:58) & featuring more guest stars than you can shake a stick at. 'Tis glorious, but also ominous, given the finality of the title & The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' breakup not long after.
"We'd play around
With our punk rock reggae sound,
'Cause sometimes dancing is all you've got,
(Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!)
We were crankin',
We were skankin',
We were crankin', we were skankin'
All over the world!…"
