The Mighty Mighty Bosstones The Impression That I Get (Reaction!!) 

Welcome to SKA

Ska is a combination of jazz, r and b, punk, reggae

"We need a Ska day" "You mean a spa day?" "I absolutely do not"

One guy never plays an instrument, maybe a tambourine occasionly, and dances around. That was his job.

Apart from the chorus, this part has always stuck with me: 'I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested I'd like to think that if I was I would pass Look at the tested and think "There but for the grace go I" Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out'

This song is a lot. Like in a good way. Nobody is ready the first time how intense it gets when a literal dozen dudes just start singing/playing their heart out!

Realization of others' suffering, being grateful you haven't experienced it yet, compassion, anxiety... Such a great song. 💓

Exactly! You start to smile when you hear a Bosstones song!!

I enjoyed this song merrily as a youth and cry nearly every time hearing it as an adult. Great song

The only band I know of with a member who’s sole role is to dance and hype up the crowd, LOVE the Bosstones!

I'm so happy when my favorite RU-vid reactors like the bands I like. ❤

That was the 90's... the alternative genre was the greatest genre because it included a bit of everything. The same radio station would follow it with Tool... then play Pearl Jam.... the 90's truly were the last great hoorah in music. Other than a few bands... it's been downhill since.

The bass playing in this song is outstanding

So many great ska bands out there. Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, Planet Smashers, No Doubt, Goldfinger, Rx Bandits, Save Ferris, Dance Hall Crashers, just the ones I can name off the top of my head.

Being from the 90's this was my wife and I favorite band. We saw them live in concert more than 40 times over their career. More Mighty Might Bosstones music please!!! Any song song the Bosstones is great to react to. 😊❤

Unexpected! Bravo for continuing to expand and expose whole generations to practically forgotten music.

Ska is such a phenomenal musical genre and these guys do it justice ❤

This song has always been a JAM!!! The Ska vibe is so much fun!!🎶❤✌

Synccpated rhythms are a wonderful thing when used well. Bosstones did it better than most. Love them!

love ska. anything with happy lyrics and sad music, or happy music with sad lyrics, it tricks me into liking it.

Such a great clean tune. As a dad I appreciate the music I can listen to with my kids!

This song makes me happy. I can't be still and do my best Benny impression.

That whole album is killer.

I still believe the 90s had the best music for a decade. I was a teen and early 20s and all the music I liked is still fire today.

This whole album is worth every second of your time spent listening to it!!

I was a teenager in the 90's in a burb of Boston. This was on WFNX all the time! Very fun to cruise around and sing along with. A lot of great local Boston bands from that era. Glad you liked it!

Amazing band and song! Live these guys

How have you not even accidentally heard this song. Mi hermano en cristo.. The Interrupters, Reel Big Fish, the list goes on my friend. Welcome 🎉

This is THE best band live!!! They are simply incredible live man and steal any show they’re on.

One of my favorite bands ever, was fortunate to see them live before they retired.

I love this song because it takes me back to 1997 when I was 20, and when I became a born-again Christian. It has been a good 26 years!

This whole album was incredible and still has a place as my summer soundtrack

OMG I LOOOOOVED this song in high school! Excited to see what you think!

In the 90's when the movie "Swingers" came out, a massive swing dance craze hit all the bars and clubs. The Bosstones were king.

***big hug for the big man***

Love the “dancing man”.

The Boss tones Where Did You Go is my favorite song by them!

GREAT SONG.......... TY 4 THEE RE-ACTION PEACE

I love this band! This song takes me back. Thank you!

I was in Boston in the '90s and this song - and ska in general - was everywhere.

Love me a horn section.. Reel big fish, specials, english beat and so many more .. even early Chicago Ska and old rock and big band.. I freaking love a horn section thanks mate

Ska is Awesome ❤ The Mighty Mighty Bosstones Sublime Smash Mouth Reel Big Fish Early No Doubt 😊

3rd wave Ska…gotta love it…my mother got me into the first wave with The Israelites…then Two Tone came around on my watch…a great catalog of music that gives hope and inspiration to those of us who realize we are better together than apart fighting each other.

The Bosstones are a great band, I've seen them live a couple of times and their shows are SUPER fun.

One of my all time favorite bands!! 🤘🤘 So sad they broke up 😢

ah, the memories ❤ God bless punk rock girls

This band pretty much models themselves on probably the best and most significant band in this genre is a band called Madness.

This song was in the Kevin Smith movie Chasing Amy

This was a great song at the time in the 90s. Us 70s babys where in a weird world. Our dads/uncles/men around us went through Nam. We were becoming men and there was not a challenge right? I mean our Grandfather fought WWII. Civil rights happened before us. We lived in the age of skateboards, Nintendo, and live was easy mode if you did volunteer for desert storm. But there was that feeling if the world challenged us we could step up...knock on wood. Great song.

I haven’t listened to this song in YEARS & this shows up on my feed.

90s ska was hella fun. If you're really feeling horns, check out Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, they had a sound so powerful, it could turn goat piss into gasoline. (also the band played on Amy Winehouse's debut)

Love love love Dicky Barrett always ❤

Great track, huh? Man, radio in the 90's was something else, so many alternative hits, everything felt different and the amount to of positive vibes was surprising. Nostalgic AF, thanks for reacting brother.

Sing along bar song. I love that analogy. It most definitely is👍👍😍😍

I agree completely that horns add a depth to music.

Love them!!!! 💗💗💗💗

Welcome to ska music! These guys and Reel Big Fish are so great.

Boss tones!!! Love them, since '95.

Now you gotta listen to Royal Crown Revue "Barflies at the Beach" and Squirrel Nut Zipper "Hell"... All great songs that will have you wanting to sing and dance.

Man that takes me back, I haven't heard this one in a while. 🎉 Polo you had a small smile the entire song 😊

I was in peace corps- girlfriend of drummer- we all hung out! Magical. Big SKA fan…would go to other countries and hear more SKA-Japan was cool with that style….. many years ago……many many years ago 97-99 Niger.

One of the most memorable concerts I’ve seen back in the day. They opened for Primus. They even did a punk rock wedding. That’s were you pull a hot girl out of the crowd, and the singer and the girl both say I love you and then run full tilt into the audience of the stage. Awesome.

These guy's are bloody awesome live I've seen them here in Aotearoa New Zealand 💪👍✌️👏👏👏

Sad they called it quits.. definately trail blazers of the 90's and their legacy will last an eternity! The best feel good summertime music on the planet!!!

Love these guys! I saw them play in LA and while filming in their hometown of Boston. I also saw a cool show with the reformed Lemonheads that included Bosstones Nathan Albert who originally left the band at their height to get a degree in political theory from Brown University. This band has so many dope little side stories and fun facts.

Sending hugs caring hugs,this is a no knock on wood gift😅❤

Saw these guys in bozeman, mt when they were poppin..must have been 97 or so. One of the best live shows i ever saw. 🔥🔥🔥

This is one of my favorite songs. I love watching you facial expressions.. "How many guys in this band????" New subscriber

i'd hug the polo with a bonus handshake at the same time.

Good song 🎵 The 90’s were so much fun!!

One dude in the bands job is to run around dancing. 😂Fun band to see live.

Crazy good song always loved the energy here love you

Here is a hug for the Polo 😊, Loved the song😊

I love sincere lyrics like this

BOSSTONES BABY!!!!

I love it By it I mean both the song and the reaction. Thanks ✌🏽

Nice guess..awesome band!!,

Ska is so great dude, it's a punk reggae fusion where you just invite all your band friends to come rock out in your garage with whatever instruments they play.

I sing this at Karaoke every time.

Sing-a-long bar song is EXACTLY what this song was.... good 'ol college days in the bar

the 90's had such an eclectic combination of awesome music, what an amazing era.

Yeeeeeessssss!! So more Ska!!! There was a brief moment in the late 90s where Ska made a huge comeback and all was right with the world! Need to do some Reel Big Fish, Goldfinger, and Save Ferris!

Best band EVER!!!!!!!!

As one of my favorite bands of all-time, may I recommend these other tracks from The Mighty Mighty BossToneS: - Someday I Suppose - The Rascal King - Everybody's Better - Simmer Down - Royal Oil

Amazing 90’s song and song in general!!

'Devils night out' by the MMBT was one of the first ska-metal mash-ups. Blew my mind waaay back when.

One of my all time favorites

fantastic reaction to the bosstones. they have sooo many great songs. this one was off of their first major label album, so it sounds a lot cleaner than their older stuff. it's a shame they broke up.

This brings me back... (I wish "literally") but I'll take this little dose of Nostalgia.

That band has a litany of good tracks.

I forgot how much i loved these guys

Loved these guys back in the day!!!

Just love Ben bopping thru that whole video.

One of the pillars of the early to mid 90's ska/punk 3rd wave. Hardcore guys from Boston playing such catchy music. Their live shows are legendary. Last time I saw them live was at Thompkins Square Park in NYC, and they owned the place. If i may suggest, "Someday I Suppose", another tune from their earlier repertoire. Awsome reaction brother!

1997, Vans Warped Tour, Jacksonville, Fl... the Bosstones played in, what is essentially a metal barn. No AC, Full Summer heat, They all were on stage with full suits, Rocking the entire crowd, while the entire crowd, myself included, were jumping throughout their entire performance. It was one of the best experiences I ever had watching a band.

I have never liked Ska BUT I have always loved this song.

The Cat Empire is excellent if you would like something similar, but Australian. Til the Ocean Takes Us All is a fav.

Oh shit! We’re getting into Ska?! We’re getting into Ska?!? Another great song by them is “Someday I suppose.” That really put them on the map. Some other great ska bands, The Pietasters “Girl Take it Easy” The Specials (if you want to back a bit) “A message to you” Mustard Plug “You” The Slackers “Wasted Days” Tons more.

Man I love the fact that I was in my prime during these times in music. Yup old guy talk lol.

New 2 the channel I love that you reacted 2 Bosstones! I only got 2 see them live once and it was a show!!!
