this song was truly meant to be a ska song, but i also feel like most pop/punk hits form the 90s and 2000s would make awesome ska songs! Which one do ya'll think I should hit next?? New found glory? American Hi-fi? Weezer? 🤔🤔🤔 ALSO im getting a lot of comments lately saying I should put my covers on Spotify. Believe me, I WANT TO, but it's a lot of money to put up covers while avoiding any issues with copyrights on streaming platforms. KZbin is the only platform that really handles that stuff for the content creators. If you want to help support skatune network, you can check out my patreon! www.patreon.com/skatunenetwork Those pledging to my patreon help me do what I do, and I currently have plenty of broken gear and instrument problems that take a higher priority over getting my music on spotify! The more support I get through that and merch sales, the faster I can get stuff up, believe me, i want my stuff up just as bad as you all want it up! SO For those who have joined the #SkatunePlatoon, thank you very much!! Your support keeps this channel going!!

A Weezer cover would be ultra rad!

Your ability to sing and teleport at the same time is really something!

[@RobinBonhomme]

Just a Kid by Simple Plan would be kind of hilarious to turn into ska

[@unbrokenserenity]

Fun Fact: 1985 is a cover song, the original song is made by a band called SR-71, the lead singer even made a cameo in the BFS 1985 MV, he's the random punk rocker who scoffs at them from across the street

[@SethMarcell]

Came looking for this comment. Yay Baltimore.

[@quebithegod2908]

Bowling for soup is slept on. And so is this channel.

[@digiwest2572]

I agree

[@fata1err0r45]

lol Slept on by who?

[@GoldenGun1994]

They were mainstream for several years.

[@sccgproductions]

Bowling for soup sucks but this guy is awesome

[@BugsyFoga]

@@sccgproductions nah, they’re both awesome

[@autisticautomaton]

Reminds me of how during warped they had the reel big fish horn section join them.

[@BrassWing]

Wait, RBF joined Bowling for Soup at Warped Tour?

[@autisticautomaton]

@@BrassWing well they were both on the tour in 2018 and for one of the songs they brought the trumpet, sax, and trombonist from Reel Big Fish on stage for this song

[@DanBarnett0727]

Your the fucking man... Keep SKA ALIVE!

[@noahhossman7070]

Didn’t think this song would fit so much better as a Ska track. Nice stuff.

[@SomerHollingsworth]

You’re entirely unique from all of KZbin. You’re without a doubt going to grow to a huge channel some day

[@toneypriceless8170]

He got pretty big he showed up in my recomended yesterday I LOVE SKA so i'm obsessed

[@Itsmejohndog]

love you dog, im like 30 and all my friends give me crap for still listening to ska but i say skrew that you're not the boss of me! always brings a smile on my face to see you in my feed :)

[@SkaTuneNetwork]

John Hoffer the whole “growing out of music” mentality is so weird to me. Love what you love and I love ska ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@rochellescheepers3994]

Just turned 30.I still listen to all of the bands I listened to in high school and some newer ones. The old ones just have a special place in my heart. I don't have any friends to tell me my music taste is lame. 😂😂😂

[@dlew3624]

Ska'ed for life.😂.

I can die happy knowing this exists

[@tyi536]

[@nhignhog9556]

Love the energy, talent, and voice from this guy. Top tier lad detected.

[@assnailant1000]

Would love to see your take on Dead Kennedys

[@adamhendry745]

Kill the poor

[@NerdismOfficial]

Holiday in Cambodia would be absolutely epic as a ska song

[@punkyagogo]

Quick note: this was actually SR-71's song. BFS covered it (and has the superior version imo). Awesome cover as always!

[@janAlekantuwa]

I'm glad that when Bowling for Soup toured with Reel Big Fish, they added Saxl Rose and Johnny Christmas to the song and turned it into a semi-ska song

[@jadilisquaid2601]

While we’re on these guys a Punk Rock 101 cover would be dope. Great cover as always.

[@ieatatsonic]

There's a lot of stuff off the same album as 1985 I'd love to see. Almost, Trucker Hat, and Hometown to name a few

[@jadilisquaid2601]

@@ieatatsonic Almost would be cool to see for sure. That whole album rocks.

[@MattGronke]

hey you should cover this, but change the title to "1995" and make all the lyrics about third wave ska.

[@NintendoAddictNAD]

That's basically just the lyrics to "This Gigantic Robot Kills" by MC Lars

[@MattGronke]

@@NintendoAddictNAD great song

[@mikebecker5536]

Love this song and your energy and performance just make it your own. Love it. Keep up the good work.

[@rileys1005]

Some They Might Be Giants would be cool

[@autisticautomaton]

I agree

[@eastportland]

Istanbul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (also a cover)

BIRDHOUSE IN YOUR SOUL

[@quinnjohnston5276]

Edgelord Byron dont lets start would be hitting

[@jeffspradlin7247]

Should say this was by SR-71 who wrote and performed the song before bowling for soup, great version of the song very well done

[@mikey_strange]

Quite possibly the best cover artist

[@MinnesotaMimi]

This song is originally by SR-71 (written by Mitch Allen)

[@PasticheofSkin]

Lol only reason why I know that is due to Todd in the shadows ^_^

[@joegreene1919]

Yeah but the version he's doing is the BFS one, some of the lyrics are slightly different

[@lasersailor184]

Cover of a Cover.

[@user-zb5tq3bs4f]

I didnt know this.. thanks

[@AtomicBananaPress]

I still prefer the SR-71 version

[@stardust-reverie]

this cover is so much better than the original in so many ways the song itself also hits me extra hard even though i’m 17 because nostalgia-based depression and a fear of being insignificant are two things i have a super bad time with 😭

[@cortneyblom101]

This is totally how this song was meant to be played! ♥ I would LOVE to hear a cover of Lego House by Ed Sheeran. I can't think of anything more nostalgic and amazing than a love song with Legos and ska horns.

[@VanillaMidgetSSBM]

Just heard this on SGDQ 2023 during the Tony Hawk's Underground speedrun!

[@nano7586]

Woahh shit, back in the days this was my favourite song

[@CaptainACAB]

I'm seeing Bowling for Soup and Less Than Jake in less than a month! It's all coming together :D

[@noonebuteverone6331]

They basically did this when i saw them with Reel Big Fish, the horn section of RBF came out and accompanied them

[@mcnaaame]

Bowling for Soup's earlier stuff totally featured a horn section. They came up in the 90s when early-post-second-wave ska was still finding/losing its footing. This cover is amazing and I'm so thankful you didn't let anyone get to you like they did me when they made fun of me for liking ska "still" keep on keeping on good sir, I'll be here to bear witness.

[@TheDarkSide73914]

Another sick video ✌️✊🤘

[@RQrq123]

Empty walls would be cool to hear

[@thisfrosty]

Lemme just say, I've been subbed for a while but I only recently actually started truly diving in. You've brought out this old love for ska in me that was lying dormant for a minute. Hope you know that I can't thank you enough for that. Looking forward to more videos, and for more from your band as well! (Checked them out this week and y'all are soooo good!) Hopefully I can grab a shirt before they sell out!

[@benthescientist]

I don't even like ska but I like these videos

[@maxwellreid5690]

honestly better than the original love you do the wonder years

[@LifeOnTheEdge143]

imma blow your mind. this cover is of a cover and it is better than the og cover of the og. The original is SR-71. But still the best cover is this

[@maxwellreid5690]

Just A Hufflepunk I had no clue, imma have to check out the original

[@LifeOnTheEdge143]

@@maxwellreid5690 I mean it's not bad it's just different. BFS def made it their own hence why a lot of people say it's the og.

[@LifeOnTheEdge143]

Ska Tune Network just covered a cover and I am all sorts of shooketh

[@TheBricelee]

Ska just makes me happy ....so thanks 👍👍👍👓

[@darkknightszy4674]

Oh my god you’re right this fits so well Why isn’t BFS a ska band????

[@joshuadefibaugh3634]

should be noted that this song is originally by SR-71. You should cover their song "Right Now"

[@muratseferbekov9363]

'00-'10 lo-fi, garage, surf punk (wavves, japanther, fidlar, teen suicide) can be ska too!

[@Mito383]

Guile’s theme goes with everything... including Ska?

You have have Fishbone levels of energy

[@livvecchio]

I just discovered your channel & all of these ska covers are dope!! subscribed like 20 seconds into this LOL

[@ember187]

I normally dont "like" videos who ask for likes but since you put so much effort into it i made an exception. Awsome outro i loved it

[@SkaTuneNetwork]

i appreciate it! I just like to give the reminder, because its something people dont really think to do, BUT its a huge away to support artists! The likes is what makes their content trend and mix in the algorithm, which helps it show up in browse, discover, and searches!

[@jones2539]

The part at 2:20 is awesome! And the end is pretty cool with that harmonic!

[@jakefrost5639]

It is actually done by SR-71 first... So it is an SR-71 cover. Though Bowling For Soup did a kick ass job of covering it

[@koreboar4646]

I would love to hear more badass inflection like at 1:51 "When did reality" sounded very good with the style, I think more of that good shit in your covers will really tie the vocals together, keep up the good work man!
