I had this album in 1989 (I was 15) and my parents threw it out and I'm still salty. I saw No Doubt perform it at The Roxy in LA back then and the crowd was small. I still remember Gwen was wearing a green sequin top with blue jean overalls and her hair was brown. Legendary
@@fetB No Doubt played with Madness in Hawaii!! I would have killed to have been there.. it’s where No Doubt first played ‘New’, I think it was spring / summer 1998.
god i love the eerie sound to this. became a no doubt fan at tragic kingdom (cause of my age) but if i was older i would have totally listened to them prior. love their old stuff.
@@demir29 there are still bands playing more traditional 60s ska. But the late 80s early 90s ska sound is definitely dead. It is not popular anymore absolutely.
Because, unfortunately it didn’t sell. They try to do that with their debut album but it came out when everyone was hyped around “Nirvana“, and all the “Grunge” stuff... You probably know the story from there. Eric left the band and they took up singing and songwriting for themselves and it was less “Ska Influenced“... PLUS, it sold WAY WAY more!!! But, I agree! Their “Ska” sound is incredible!!! :)

Fav old school ND song! Man, i wish they'd play some stuff from the early days, whole songs not just fan requested snippets like in '09. I would probably piss myself if they played this live, it would never happen but it would be so cool.
I consider myself a pretty heavy old school nxd fan... not to toot my own horn, ahaaa, but hearing this for the 1st time..and on my birthday! Happy birthday to me 😆
For a US band to do ska soooooo well is great especially because going back to the pre internet era could only really hear it in record shops dont think ska hit the us
I always thought No Doubt went downhill because Eric Stefani quit the band. Everything after the Tragic Kingdom misses that special feeling No Doubt had before. Ok Rocksteady had some nice songs but only a couple. They should be presented as a 7-piece band with Eric Stefani on keys, Stephen Bradley on trumpet and Gabriel Mc Nair on trombone. In my opinion they sold out to stay relevant in this industry but gained nothing.
One of my regrets is that I never saw the pre-1992 No Doubt live. I was into Madness in 1991 but was not aware of the OC ska scene. OC was only about 30 miles away and they were playing at many of the colleges in the area. By the time I found out about them, their ska days were long behind.

Gwen is amazing on vocals like always. One of the most unique voices of all time.
Been a ND fan for years, never heard this it's very good. Really can hear the Madness influence.
i wonder if they ever did a gig with madness. I haven't found a video on it yet
Take THis from a true SKA - Bitch... Hella GOOD
It has major 2 Tone influence for sure. But they had that late 80s "unicorn records" ska sound particularly on this track.

That sound to it could have something to do with this being their first released material immediately following their old singer and friend's suicide
Really need ND to release a compilation of their
what the fuuuck WHYY don't they play more ska
Cause they were playing ska for decades and got sick of it
@@rjrod1326 well I think not only them who got sick of it, almost no bands play ska anymore, guess it lost its trend. Shame tho, was really cool

It was released on vinyl as Ska-Ville USA Volume 3 in 1988 on Ska Records.
A song for Halloween, it has that spooky vibe to it.

I love ska and my only question is: why i don't listen this song before?, this song is so underratd
I bought this LP (Skaface) in 1988 and this was my favorite track on it. I love oldey timey No Doubt. Their first record was awesome.
woow you are a longtime No Doubt fan
It took some getting used to...it was so different from their live shows that it didn't get much traction at the time
Me too!@@federicobadaracco
A few years ago my dad gave me my old record collection I thought was long gone. I had a lot of fun playing this for my kids.

I love doubt...first time I've heard this. Love the difference in tones. No doubt style 😁
Uhhh...Was tragic kingdom the oldest album you'd heard of theirs? If so...Id say you've got essentially a whole new band to check out.
A decade before "Im just a girl" my first introduction and still my favorite!
This is fucking perfection....❤️
♥️ it! Used to listen to it in my bedroom 20 yrs ago
hope the new album goes back to the roots
This so freaking good! Wish ND would of done a few more like this.
Love ND up until Tragic Kingdom. Nothing after was the same. I respect their evolution as a successful band but nothing beats their roots!
Amazing! More please!
So glad I found this gem!
Saw ND play this song LIVE at CSULB. (opened for RHCP)
Back when ND was ska and Alan Meade was lead.
Such an awesome show.
They should put out a full ska album now.
Would be great if they did
I consider myself a pretty heavy old school nxd fan... not to toot my own horn, ahaaa, but hearing this for the 1st time..and on my birthday! Happy birthday to me 😆
so ahead of its time
Reminds me of Monkey Boots, Dickies pants and flight Jackets...SoCAl Ska scene, Valley and OC/LA in the early 90's...Ska Ska Ska!!!
No doubt me encanta!!!!!!
Y isn't this album or song on spotify?? Its so good
For a US band to do ska soooooo well is great especially because going back to the pre internet era could only really hear it in record shops dont think ska hit the us
The US gave us ska punk but not a fan if I’m honest. Brass overkill!
Thank god for U.K. ska
@@Fearyourown The US also gave us the Operation Ivy style of ska/punk

return of saturn is their best album pleb
@@xXDexter3000Xx Hahaha holy fuck. "Pleb" too. Hopefully you catch some fish there, boy.
They gained some handfuls of fans though
a song to be able to jump in this month of the dead, hallowen😛
This song reminds me a lot to "goodnight moon" by Shivaree
You can hear the Fishbone influence on this one
I hear the fun boy three's lunatics (taken over the asylum)
fuckin dope
Foda.
This sounds like something Zombina & The Skeletones would've done.
i need the chords omggg
Amazing
