I didn't know your channel then but hearing this gave me instant feels! Only thing better on this would've been adding Gene Wilder's vocals.

[@TylerN95]

Absolutely amazing tunes as always my dude, I admire your passion and talent

[@Brodysseus113]

Whats your policy on people using your music?

[@markcargill1304]

Done. Just don't stop uploading!

[@robertmoore8571]

It's unfortunate that the world hasn't realized that Ska is its favorite genre of music yet.

[@fata1err0r45]

We did back in the 90s. :D Someone go remind the newer generations.

[@teerowawa]

@@fata1err0r45 Dude I'm a zoomer and ska is one of my all time favorite genres.

[@esk8jaimes]

Amen to that.

[@toftail]

Its not the genre tho, its this dude that its amazing

[@Nick-us6se]

@Robert Moore Literally the most relatable statement anyone has ever said you fuckin legendary human! ❤️

[@ChrisReeves2930]

YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO GO THIS HAM!!! I’ve listened to the original at least a hundred times and this is next level. Kicks so much ass. That e-piano is what dreams are made of!

[@uncledollen4242]

If Willy Wonka was an Anime this would be the opening

[@ChestersonJack]

Uncle Dollen oh gosh darn it now I gotta bribe someone to make that

[@TheFugles]

Going to need someone to fan animate that now

[@diogenesthevlog6589]

I feel like this would actually be for the closing credits

[@stilldistrakted]

This is so accurate

[@kibbleeater1]

Willy Wonka anime would be incredible

[@HiMyNameIsAlex_Music]

The original recording was what made me sub to this channel. So rad to see you revisit it!!

[@MiracleMadao]

Same, it was the first video I found.

[@lelandshennett]

Bro those solos/call and responses... they jammed so hard

[@AdamEmond]

#1 great work! Holy cow. Probably your best work to date. #2 big fan of trying to give an electronic keyboard vibrato a la 2:18 🤣

[@dunderchief9763]

YES!! This scratches an itch I've had since the early 2000s when a credit card company did a punk version for their commercial.

[@JOfnT]

That’s such an early 2000s thing lmao

[@starnathanstar]

@@JOfnT Ikr lol

[@springole7214]

this feels like some music for an epilogue scene and i love it

[@solucian]

Dude, this is so much more than anyone could have asked for. Anyone would have simply watched a one and a half minute version of this and been satisfied. But INSTEAD, you gave us over 4 MINUTES of PURE MUSICAL JOY. By far my favorite video on this site! I don't even care that this is a paragraph comment 4 months later, I just feel like it needed to be said.

[@jacencade4019]

This is the most relaxing thing I've listened to ever.

[@unclejesse2506]

This was honestly one of the best covers I've ever heard. This was absolutely amazing

[@nikolowolokin]

Me: IM REALLY FEELING IT Ska tune network's neighbors: ahhh shit here we go again

Discovering your channel, I know how Charlie felt finding that last golden ticket. Keep killing it dude.

[@jakebowman2892]

This is very strong Skatalites energy and I'm here for it.

[@1RatedRkO11]

Please put this on Spotify. I love it. Snagging job man 👍

[@mineral520]

Dude, when those horns kicked in, I nearly cried. They were so perfect. Fucking rad.

[@convolutedcarcass1523]

This healed my soulless ginger carcass

[@thefollowingisatest4579]

I get a real Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra feel from this, which means IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS EVER. Your work is amazing.

[@ashtree_meadow]

That freakin trombone solo brooooo

[@Theability83]

It’s impossible to listen to any of your covers and not have a smile on my face. Ska4life

[@flop22222]

You are such an amazing musician, it blows my mind. They say that they won’t remember what you play but how you make them feel, this is the embodiment of that. You are everything I wish to be as a musician

[@elykrishna5017]

A Cruel Angel's Thesis/Pure Imagination would be the most amazing thing

[@eudaimonistic]

I wonder how Gene Wilder would react to this. What an incredible cover, loved how much soul those trombone solos had!

[@DarthCalculus]

This is the definition of feel good music

[@zachrowe1511]

Well now I want a Ska cover of the Carpenters’ “Close to You”

[@robertgriffis7682]

And "Top of the World"

[@alatukefu87]

Is this happening?????

[@Amquacktador]

Just listen to Dancing Mood, you won't regret it

[@daelen.cclark]

What would a ska cover of “Calling Occupants” sound like?

[@Erica6Strange]

Eating my wonka bar while head banging to this tune! 🤘🏾😝🤘🏾🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫

[@dereklewis4321]

Trombone is the best instrument Change my mind

[@PsychadelicDudette]

i love your music a whole hell of a lot. in fact you are the reason i'm now interested in ska. thank you for broadening my horizons with such phenomenal songs and covers.

[@Mime59100]

I think the all instrumental covers are the best.

[@farLander1]

Words cannot express how much I love this. Its so beautiful

[@MADDMERK]

I miss being a ska kid, the 2000s had soo many ska shows in Metairie, new orleans, and baton rouge here in the south. R.I.P. Cypress Hall

[@MADDMERK]

i get soo hyped up listening to “big D and the kids table, noise complaint!”

[@thisphoneisbusted]

This is the only pure channel left on youtube besides the old lady playing guitar for her dog --- please never stop!!

[@TopsideCrisis346]

I honestly did not expect this to turn out as epic as you manage to bring it here. You truly elevate this piece, giving it an air of sophistication while compromising none of the original composition's whimsy or charm. Totally nailing it on every level. In the words of a certain senator, we will be watching your career with great interest. 😎

[@Michiganbeerdrinker]

Definitely didnt know I needed this in my life...so happy it's here now.

[@JoelHernandez-yl6yw]

I’m watching the ad before the video starts, but I already know it’s going to be epic.

[@davidscott5112]

As a big man child.im loving this.thank you for the music

[@CenPapi]

I like the vibrato at 2:17

[@scootermustang7683]

This why I love Ska covers. Beautiful sound

[@peterpartoza9729]

The piano intro had some serious JB Conspiracy vibes and I dug it. Solid quality as always dude

[@vorpalguy]

This hits like a TSPO track, fucking stellar horns and playing all around.

[@ScottP77]

Thanks for re-recording this!! The original is one of my favorite covers you do! Keep up the good work my Ska friend!

[@Garfunkels_Funky_Uncle]

I'm getting massive Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra vibes from this one

[@vikfromvaughan1686]

I went and learned to play it on the piano because of this video.

[@MissOnana]

Man. I was trying to decide if I should subscribe after listening to two of your ska-punk covers, and decided I should listen to one of your pure ska ones, and picked this one, and I'm REALLY glad I did. Definitely convinced me. Listening to this is like flying around in a strange pop-art world made of - dare I say - pure imagination. I love it. It was even published on my birthday.

[@MrZigzag73]

i wood love to see you do Band on the run (showing my age )

[@jadeschaal9288]

This is some pure gold right here. Major appreciation for all the work that is put into this!

[@Silburific]

30 seconds in and I have to subscribe. I'm indifferent to ska, but this is just too amazing.

[@zyzybaluba3000]

Same. I subscribed in about 5 seconds. 😀

[@flynnlivescmd]

So you DO like ska. Figure urself out man

[@Silburific]

@@flynnlivescmd I like *this* particula ska song, and a few others on this guy's channel. There are some songs I like covered in ANY genre. Just because I listen to one or two Eminem songs doesn't mean I like rap.

[@cphaneuf6626]

You a damn GENIUS son! Brings me back to my highschool days with Less Than Jake and OLD SCHOOL Blink182. This is FIYA! I loved the improv with the bone and the distinct glissandos!

[@coldoasis2142]

This is the opening theme to my anime

[@nickburge6717]

GOD THAT TROMBONE IS SO MF TASTY

[@toomdog]

That Thank You song really smelled like Toots and the Maytals. Nice.

[@SkaTuneNetwork]

Gotta pay respect to the OGs

[@kyubyjake]

Bringing my childhood favorite to my current taste in music. Thank you my friend.

[@Ericthereddy1]

The jump in production quality on your videos has been great to watch, keep it up! This cover is so beautiful.

[@murdock94]

Welp, KZbin recommended a good one to me for once. Posting this in every place I can.

[@Somethingbloody]

There's something about the combo of the horn timbre and the way you subtly add something to the melodies that takes songs and melodies I've never cared for and makes them so good. Interval selection? I have no idea. But I like it.

[@thetribunaloftheimaginatio5247]

DUUUUDE. I need to use this as a theme-song. I mean... I AM "The Tribunal Of The Imagination." SKA IS NOT DEAD!!!

[@quirklessstudio]

1.25 playback speed squad, we've got another gem here.

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

quirkless anddddd thank you for THAT!

[@CharlieCat18]

Yooo, 1.25x speed is the shit! Thanks quirkless 😁

Nah that ruins it

[@christopher1244]

This is imagination in its purest form.

[@galacticducks4418]

Listen, it's midnight, I'm procrastinating on my college homework and I was jamming to this but then you came out with that bass and ahhhhhhh it's so gooooooooood

[@robertfrost8264]

Yooo, the Willy Wonka pinball machine from Jersey Jack just came out. This is fitting for 2 of my subcultures!!

[@AdmiralAwesome111]

Just wanna say, themed pinball machine enthusiast and fan of ska-ifying music have got to be the two most obscure subcultures I now know of.

[@209jsingh]

I love the originality you bring to existing songs. Keep up the amazing work I wish nothing but the best for you man!

[@cainb3163]

This cover makes me so happy.

[@Dave-ei4jp]

this could be a Nintendo game outro song ahh brings tears to my eyes

[@leannezezeski-sass2773]

I still can't believe this is all done by one guy

[@EsketchM]

Thats so rad that you have jetty bones on your wall. Saw them at a local show last year and they were pretty much amazing.

[@stuv1996]

Favorite ska cover ever I think

[@patrickrico3418]

This always makes me happy.

DAMN! i love this arragement

[@Mahiro801]

Bruh... Thanks for all the covers you do! By far my favorite cover you done!

[@alanbardallo5674]

So Obsessed with this version!!

[@JagiFrisbee]

Sick cover bro, anybody can play the guitar/bass guitar but horns are a completely different beast. Props to you.

[@MachMushroom]

So awesome I literally have chills

[@dylanpage1900]

Dude that Streetlight Manifesto banner is awesome!

[@taptwoproductions456]

Well, it's great! I didn't realize I still liked Ska until I found your channel. I mean, I still listen to Cake but, that's just a given.

[@funklabstudio]

Quality. Talented as heck. I was sent a link to this by my brother in law because I'm a multi instrumentalist who makes ska and reggae music too and he said it reminded him of some of my videos. I wish I could plays the horns too though - something I've never had chance to have a go at. Really glad he sent me this - will be subscribing and checking out more of your stuff. Mr. D

[@martinmarshall-ellwood9713]

As a drummer I love your covers keep it up, keep skanking and ska alive, my, mate

[@chrisleemendez]

Yooooo this needs to be on Spotify!!

[@cooperbergen1107]

I Get mad Yu Yu Hakusho vibes from this for some reason and it SLAPS, if you did smile bomb I think I'd explode

[@gavinmackinney8484]

I love how you can make anything into ska. I would like to do some ska medleys of TV show themes myself incl Lost in Space, Hawaii 5 O, Flintstones, I dream of Jeanie, and the Banana Splits...

[@Fooma777]

Found ya cuz of BDG but I stayed for the bass solo and aesthetics. 10/10 will watch again.

[@sams945]

i want this to play on a sunny day while i drive with my windows down, not really going anywhere

[@chillyd]

this is what the people need

[@TheDudeWithoutFear]

This is one of my favorite videos on KZbin, bro. I revisit it every few months. Such a rad tune.
