The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Rascal King

[@IslandStyle123]

Any band that employs a full time dancer and credits him on the sleeve as "the bosstone" is a band I will always love and respect.

[@quattobeast]

I think 2 Skinny J's used to have two dudes that were just kind of part of the stage show - a rabbit and a pimp if i recall

[@sg51psd04]

WHAT! EHVA! MOOLIE!

[@peterroberts2986]

Icon, more bands need one singular dancer nowadays. Dude was a cold blooded pimp

Fat boy slim had Christopher Walkin crushing it in that video.

[@dbsti3006]

​@roachdoggjr1940 You might be right actually. It would just be a gimmick that would inevitably become overused sort of like the meme "Credit to the camera man for surviving that blah blah blah."

[@bdcswhatuneed]

This song always takes me back to playing RogueTrip on PS1 when I was a kid. Loved that game.

[@joshualeonardvillanueva882]

This takes me back to my vacation back in 2012. What a trip.

[@igiuLoiraM]

I bet the trip was a rogue one. 😉

[@granpastreetz]

Nice. Clever too. Instead of the just saying "Rogue Trip!", kind of a buried reference.

That insane rogue trip hahha

You and me both!!!

[@killmonster5952]

Remember this song from the Airport level (First level) of Rogue Trip (PS1), played endlessly when I was 8. Miss those days, this song brings me back there.

[@thef8]

Same! I used to think they said, "put the mustard on the bun, do it again" and I've been singing it that way for over 20 years now

[@dameTHEname]

Me too I loved that game way better than the whole Twisted Metal series in my opinion

[@fugue5152]

They played the version from the Live From the Middle East album but still love it

[@TequilaDaze]

here for the same reason lol

[@phillipwade1076]

I can play that to this day to this song😢

[@terrapingee]

My high school aged daughter saw the Bosstones at a concert yesterday. She said she was the youngest one by far that was dancing and singing the words. Somebody asked her how she knew these guys, and she credited me. Made my day when she told me about it!

[@TheSuperkooz]

Bosstones shows were the best shows. we all went to bounce around and bump into everybody and dig that dude who really knew how to skank. nobody was there to get hurt or hurt anybody, just to have a great time, lose your friends in the crowd then meet up at the car. all today's younguns need to know: the 90's were the best time for live shows.

[@dhanaissimo]

Agree, same thing in Indonesia.

[@1970DAH]

You can't not bounce when you listen to the Bosstones

[@stevepowell6503]

I never saw the Bosstones, but I agree that was the best era for concerts.

[@jamesb1988]

Let's Face It is one of the best 3rd Wave Ska albums of all time. Along with Goldfinger's Hang-Ups and Reel Big Fish's Turn The Radio Off. Those three albums were my late 1990's.

Can't wait for Trap-Ska or Drill-Ska to mix Bars and 808s with the Brass Section 😂. I only slightly jest, it's highly possible. Although I'd prefer and feel like Thrash would fit much better as a Genre Fusion. Imagine some sick Bars over some D-Beats🔥

[@gregorysteffensen3279]

@@jn-ti3of plenty of new ska bands out there even if they've never hit the mainstream breakthrough third wave did, but then with rock music largely out of the mainstream these days I don't think we're ever gonna see that level of breakthrough for any alt-rock subgenre besides like, emo '00s-stalgia ever again

[@davidblake6168]

Well he was fueled by a lack, drew inspiration from a need. So many problems to crack and mouths to feed. Crooked was the path, and brazen was the walk. A cocky swagger, up the ladder, and could he ever talk. The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again. The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them. The love of God and constant contradictions, With a smile, wink, or nod. What's stranger, fact or fiction? And never ceasing to amaze me on a regular basis. First hand in his pocket or first fist into the faces. The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again. The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them. A legendary character. When? Only then. Where? Only there. A hero or a hooligan? Well, that part's just never clear. Pride or shame, it's all the same. Who's innocent or who's to blame? Politics or just a game? Well in the end they knew his name. The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again. The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them?

From 1991-1998 I drove a car that had no radio, cassette, CD... no music player of any kind. I enjoyed the silence. It was like being on a new musicless island for 8 years.

Gonna be honest. I played Rouge Trip before I knew the name of this song. I'm 18, I've been playing that game since I was like 6. I just learned the name a month ago.
