in a perfect world NOFX would put out an all ska/reggae album. Or a compilation of all their ska/reggae songs on to one record. Call it the, "Gettin High on the Down Low" EP. damn i'm fucking stoned.
NoFX #1 under rated song....New Orleans is alright if you like hurricanes...Coke is alright, if you like paranoia, Rehab is alright, if you are a quitter...
Hahah, this song is so true. I remember the last time I went there to visit relatives in the countryside two years ago. No running water; it had to be pumped, ants were crawling through the sugar container, people were allowed to carry machetes with them wherever they went, a lot of people there are ignorant fundamentalists and bigoted, the list goes on. If you ever go there, make sure you stick to the resorts lol
I'm part jamaican. Been there also, of course. Sadly, most of this shit is true. If you go... don't leave the resort. You'll like it better that way. :)
marie bozz no hes serious, Im part Jamaican too. My grandfathers gardener was chopped into tiny pieces and put all over the garden because he didnt know where the safe was, 3 of his neighbors have been executed by gangs, one of my cousins has been kidnapped, my aunt has had 6 cars stolen at gun point and 3 dogs shot.... Jamaicas alright.
Jamaica easy top 5 of most racist places ive been together with Hungary, Russia, South Africa....my mate and me been going to all kinds of festivals once, twice a year for along time now. He is Indonesian, easy to see he's not white..im Dutch typically white covered in tattoos, half face fucked up bc bike crash, overweight, beard... ...we dont always fit in, that can create some problems, but that just adds to the adventure. But in Hungary (Metal festival) and Jamaica (Reggae festival) we really were worried for our safety ..... .to be fair 24 hours a day for days with mostly hippies around (Moon parties) is exhausting to , loved the drugs tho.
You wouldn't piss them off.. I love reggae and this song is so true. Jamaica's alright but people there are geez like.. Less than 5% of jamaican people are rastafarians though :)
@@joeroberts2156 yeah Kolonialism is still real just in Form of trading treadies in which the elite of poor countries sell their civilians lives,, food and other resources just for to fatten there own tummies. But we all are in it and supporting it just by buying tropical fruits, out of season produce, cheap meat and canned goods. Only if we invest in local or national produce we can help those ppl whoms lively hood we are wasting away for cheap.
I kinda feel like there actually REAL problems in this world and worrying about what other people do, sexually, is a huge waste of time. I also dont get why religious people worry about it so much, if one believes in god, it seems to me like it would be between a gay person and god what that person did in their life. I have been called a homophobe before because i have expressed the view that i just dont give a shit about homosexuals. I cant be for or against something i dont care about.
Why? It's fact. The band booked a trip to Jamaica and wrote the song based off their experience there and sadly its still true today. Jamaicas alright if you can afford the resort. That being said I don't like Fat Mike so I'd do the same
New York's alright If you wanna get pushed In front of the subway New York's alright If you like tuberculosis New York's alright If you like art and jazz New York's alright If you're a homosexual
Jamaica's alright, ooou ooou ooou Jamaica's alright, ahhh ahhh ahhh Jamaica's alright, (middle of a knife fight) Jamaica's alright Jamaica's alright, if you wanna get in the middle of a knife fight Jamaica's alright, if you wanna get AIDS or dysentery Jamaica's alright, if you wanna be mugged or murdered Jamaica's alright, if you're a misogynist, or a homophobe Jamaica's alright Jamaica's alright, if you only like one kind of music Jamaica's alright, if you like kiwi, bananas and spiders Jamaica's alright, if you wanna buy drugs from your hotel room Jamaica's alright, if you want your hand lopped off by a machete Jamaica's alright Jamaica's alright Jamaica's alright Jamaica's alright Jamaica's alright (Everybody now) Jamaica's alright, ooou ooou ooou Jamaica's alright, ahhh ahhh ahhh Jamaica's alright (Jamaica's alright) Thanks to joE for these lyrics Thanks to punkindrublic for correcting these lyrics Good music!!
I have been there twice both times I went to some sketchy areas where the cabbie told us to duck down in the cab, so we don't draw attention to us white guys
Honestly I hate constant knowledge of hell badd the world's getting in all the economic and political circumstances I just sometimes like to feel myself and listen to a good punk rock song so I listened to this for a good haha time

Hell yeah 👌
I suspect a homage to Fear's 'New York's Alright If You Like Saxaphones'!
I play alt Sax and is this song play trombón...jaja
Totally awesome song that highlights The Talent in the band. I love that tasteful blues guitar solo.
I love the way they recorded this tune. And I love when fatmike makes fun of countries--its hilarious.

***** maybe someone should arrange adventure trips to jamaica with a hummer having a lookout and an attached M16 =)
+marie bozz do you also jump in front of oncoming trains and call that a holiday?
+marie bozz My dads from Jamaica it is dangerous and full of guns and crime.
i would like to buy drugs from my hotel room
Ya gonna get ripped off. Have you listened the these lyrics? source--Me.
Vaca in FL we do that...
Wish i could from my bedroom 😅

Yo this is SUPER late, but I lived in Hungary for a year and they are so racist there it's horrible. I was honestly thankful I was white
Wow Jamaica is amazing!!! I bet Africa is way cool too!!! 😅
Bully's fears are of being bullied themselves or not being accepted. That or they enjoy the feeling of being dominant over other people...
Italia alright if you like mafia (i'm italian lol)
Lago di Garda is alright if you like mosquito bites.
LMAO
lol, nofx always making me smile.
Saludos desde el salvador 🌚 gran bandita
Thought this would be like Fear's New York's Alright If You Like Saxophones. Turns out it was way off...
EvanLouKy it most definitely was inspired by it in concept, just not in sound, I mean look at what they did with straight edge.
i always think of nofx as bad religion's cocky little brother
sounds like they didn't have the best of times in Jamaica...
This is the truth about Jamaica tho
Damhnaic true story, the shores are all tourist attractive and clean, inland is a fucking hole
Maybe, they didnt play there tooooo
Neither did The Clash, to judge by Safe European Home...
You wouldn't piss them off.. I love reggae and this song is so true. Jamaica's alright but people there are geez like.. Less than 5% of jamaican people are rastafarians though :)
This song somehow almost makes me wanna go there, I'm gay though.. So Costa Rica is probably a better option...
Kalvin N lmao
Always i hear when i smoke gass
@Gurrier Hahahahahhahhahahaaaa!!!! Why didn't I think of that before you posted it. Class!!
Oh yeah, giant spiders are nature's reminder that we are, in fact, just a bunch of little girls.
xD soo true
Bingo
Brasil alright!
Is it? Should I go?
Okay, the spider made me shit my pants
:(
It's weird how most tropical places are more ruthless than big cities. Paradise isn't really paradise when you can't leave the resort.
It's not weird it's cos the CIA, yanks and euros fuck over black and brown countries

i actually scored ganja on the beach underneath a coconut tree.it was awesome!
I brush my teeth to this shit.
I want to hear 311 do a cover of this :)
Just lookup "LGBT rights in Jamaica" on Wikipedia....
lol
right, may not be "the most" but certainly it is on the top ones... =)
why do we have to accept a choice..?? i thought we had a RIGHT too..
of course, you have the RIGHT of NOT being gay if you dont want to =)
look it up while your ther, bud. maybe ask a local.
9 people dont have subwoofers and didnt know there was audio at the beginning
I think fans of NOFX type satire would appreciate Frank Zappa.
Agreed
Zappa is the shit. Bobby Brown is my homeboyyyy
"gotta cheerleader here, wants to help with my paper...."
love NOFX .... never liked Zappa
We're Only In It For The Money and Tinseltown Rebellion comes to mind right away.
I like this song, but it reminds me why I chucked that beer at fat mikes face when I saw them in Toronto.
+marie bozz because you're unable to accept fact?
Was it red stripe 😂
Why? It's fact. The band booked a trip to Jamaica and wrote the song based off their experience there and sadly its still true today. Jamaicas alright if you can afford the resort. That being said I don't like Fat Mike so I'd do the same
just realised this song is 4:20 minutes long.
game zhark yeah, but this song isn't about weed...
+MrMesarec and its actually 4:24...
*****
4 seconds of silence don't count
game zhark but it does
***** great response
Could say this about a town near me, although its not worth the promotion.
NOFX will always be my no.1 band🙌2023
people really love to argue over nothing
NO They don’t.....

SANTUY
Hmm I’m beginning to think Jamaica is in fact not alright
man i had this 7 inch, it got lost in the move
i guess they don't really digg it there.
jamaica's alright!!!!
Jamaica is a crime ridden third world shithole containing one of the murder capitals of the world. Wasn't the song obvious enough for you?
Pass the buck mentality, hey you got 62 people to give you attention. So you have that going for you, which is nice.
I love ray gay
Punk and Reggea ....like WEED and alcohol ......dope
Cleber you are alright dude
