The Rebel Black Dot Finally! Song o' the Day!

The Aquabats!, "No Rewind!" from Finally! (Captain Thumbs Up!)

Commentary: After more than a decade as a quintet, for Finally! The Aquabats! are once again a band of eight (or nine) men, with the return of founding member Catboy!; Chainsaw, the Prince of Karate! (who gave me my Aqua-Cadet code name, Captain Thumbs Up!); & Professor Morty Corndog!; & the addition of new member Gorney! The music video mixes, matches, & juxtaposes footage from back in the day, especially the iconic music video for "Super Rad!," with footage from The Aquabats! Super Show! & photographs from throughout the band's thirty-plus-year history: YouTube-link.
"Me don't need no rewind,
'Cause right now this is our time,
All them mountains that we gonna climb,
'Cause we don't need no rewind!…"
Bonus: "No Rewind!" is a ska song! Ska! Ska! Ska!
