OK I'm old as hell because I always think of Don't Speak as a "later" No Doubt song. It doesn't sound like most of their music. In fact that's what the song was about. The simplest and oldest description of "ska" (pronounced like skah or scoff without the fs) is "Punk with a trumpet" No Doubt's creator, Gwen Stefani's brother, was in one of the first ska bands, and time has borne the genre out to be a niche within heavy SoCal influenced music, the swimming pool of bands like Sublime, Long Beach Dub All Stars, The Offspring, Smashmouth, etc. I can tell that 90s SoCal like I can tell a New York hip hop artist after about 10 seconds.

This song was very popular, along with the album it was on. Gwen got famous off of this album, which allowed her to even have a solo career after.

[@Damiana_Dimock]

🤯🤯🤯 Ok, “ska,” pronounced Sk-ah. Ska is a musical genre born out of Jamaica, (out of Ska comes Reggae & Rocksteady.) Ska/Reggae travels from Jamaica to the UK & the US with immigrants, it catches on mostly with the non-racist punks and the second-wave of ska is born into existence-Madness, The Specials, etc. No Doubt was originally a ska band that was a part of ska’s Third Wave-Against All Authority, Catch 22, Link 80, Mustard Plug, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Save Ferris, etc.-Several members departed before the band became the four-piece you just heard. Tragic Kingdom, (the album featuring the hit single you just heard is the band’s third album.) Yeah, this song was EXTREMELY popular, but about ten years before Gwen Stefani’s solo album featuring, “Hollaback Girl.” I would’ve recommended “Spiderwebs,” or the obvious track off this album, “Just A Girl.” “Don’t Speak,” kinda of the first big swing away from their more Ska/OC roots. After Tragic Kingdom the band blasts off into pop-stardom. With that said, the whole album is phenomenal. If ya wanna checkout these guys with Davey Havock, (AFI/Blaqk Audio/XTRMST,) instead of Gwen Stefani, it’s a band called Dreamcar.

No doubt were originally a ska band, apparently lol. An actual ska band from a lot earlier where The Specials, you should definitely react to them. Start with “Ghost Town”

[@XOTheHosttt]

Just today I was talking about that with my friend. Crazy that they started as the ska

[@ffjsb]

Ghost Town and Rudy are good starting points.

[@MrKylljoy]

This was huge, I grew up in the very late 90's and early 2000's in europe and I remember hearing it all the time

[@skinhitter27]

Back when Gwen was f'n cool, and not a Hollywood lizard person. I miss Ska Gwen so much!! This was written about the bassist Tony, cuz they dated. Then she dated and married Gavin from Bush, who you also need to check out!

[@Sal214OC]

Lizard person LOL

[@jramostt86]

This was super popular when it was out, man I the nostalgia with this song. Great reaction.

[@llorona7847]

If you want an idea of what No Doubt’s ska sounds like, “Different People” is a good introduction. But honestly you can’t go wrong with the whole Tragic Kingdom album.

[@tristramcoffin926]

This song was like the 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' of 1995. You couldn't walk 27 feet without hearing it. So, when it come to popularity this is easily their biggest smash. They have had others but not as ubiquitous as this song. It just came out a long time ago is all.

💥 Please react to "Hella Good", "Just A Girl", "It's My Life" & "Hey Baby" by No Doubt 💥

[@bothellkenmore]

Hella Good is so weird, love it!

[@christian7951]

Yes Gwen Stefani was the lead singer in No Doubt before going Solo, check out Spiderwebs 🔥🔥🔥

[@cirexmusic]

The rest of the songs of that specific album are more 'Punk Rock' ..

[@vanhattfield8292]

Ska, bro...

[@samot4677]

@@vanhattfield8292 definitely more punk rock than ska

[@vanhattfield8292]

@@samot4677 Their sound is more Sublime and the Might, Mighty Bosstones (both ska bands) than anything like Fugazi, Black Flag, Fear, The Circle Jerks, The Descendants, The Ramones, The Dead Milkmen, Minor Threat, Bad Religion, etc, etc. They picked up a label as being "Ska Punk" which I can't think of any other band that ever fit into that category, from the media, not from fans when they first came out on MTV trying to put them on the "Cutting Edge", lol. Not throwing shade, just trying to figure out how you would place No Doubt into the punk genre and what other Punk band would you compare them too? Do a google search of "Top Punk bands of the 90;s" and another for "Top Ska bands from the 90's" and see which list you find them on. Cheers!

[@grendelz]

Saw them in a small club in Nashville before this album made them huge, what a great show.

[@Chiari_Queen_T]

No Doubt was originally a ska band! ( you said it right 1st time). Their first hit "I'm Just a Girl" was probably the best example of their ska style, just as far as actual hits go ( unless I'm forgetting something!) But generally they are fun and so is she, but like any good performer, they are multifaceted and also evolved with time just like we all do. I actually saw them live at Jones Beach, NY. They / Gwen has SO MUCH ENERGY, it was fun as hell! And she CAN SING LIVE!!!!!

[@clovislazar3457]

This was definitely a hit as mentioned in other comments, I loved No Doubt from beginning to end! Please, please, also try another one of their first, Sunday Morning, and then their last hit song, It's My Life. The video for the last song is symbolic of them splitting as well, very great song and video. I will also add, it is funny for us women to know Gwen did date one of the band members and as she sings about their break up and hurt, he's playing the music lol

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

The album Tragic Kingdom is what made them famous. I was obsessed with No Doubt and Gwen when I was growing up in the 90's. I was never a big fan of her pop music, but her ska era was amazing.

[@J.Italiano711]

Because "Speak" came out in 1995. And "Hollaback Girl" came out in 2004

[@katyareads221]

This was a huge song.....it was all over the radio and MTV. (When MTV played music)

[@nicoleb1581]

No Doubt were huge in the 90’s. I never got into Gwen as a solo artist, her sound and style in the early 2000’s was more mainstream pop. But for the better part of the 90’s she fronted one of the best bands of the decade and was fierce… “Just A Girl” “It’s My Life” “Spiderwebs” “Hella Good” “Ex Girlfriend” are all🔥 I know I’m not alone in hoping that they would get back together for one more album & tour. I’d love to take my Gen Z kids to a No Doubt show.

[@kevincurry4304]

Nailed Brad on all fronts. NOT their typical sound , serious break up song. Cheers m8!!

[@charlesfitzgerald9631]

The video for this is absolutely beautiful….& not just because of Gwen……beautifully crafted

[@markoconnor995]

Gwen Stefani's No Doubt was a great LA ska band. In Don't Speak you get their Latino influence. Song came out when my marriage collapsed.

[@rexracer3221]

You guys should watch the official video for the song. It really does a good job on explaining this song, plus seeing how young Gwen Stefani looked.
