Just a little question, what non-ska songs do you think would be really cool to change into ska songs?

Ex. The Forces of Evil coverd Van hallen's "Dance the night away."

Blink 182 - Reckless Abandon

I've had dreams of this being a ska song for a long time.

just about any billy joel song.

(a friend of mine, matt wixson, did a cover of "it's still rock and roll to me" and it's amazing. hunt him down on myspace- just search bands and search matt wixson)

There's this new ska band from my high school that's just starting out, they do a cover of Nena's 99 Luftballoons and it sounds very cool, I think they wanna start playing shows soon too.

I've said it time and time again. The Matlock theme song would be a perfect ska song.

I've always thought just about anything by Dick Dale could be easily ska-ified. At this time, I'll renew my call for anyone interested in a surf-ska band to call me, or reply. Rochester based, because I live here, and gas is insanely expensive.

Holy shit Aaron. I'm all about that.


Band rule #1: Aaron must do the twist the entire duration of the set.
