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
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.
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.
@@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.
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!!
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 :)
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.
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
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
Wow, way to completely misinterpret everything I said. I made it perfectly clear that those lyrics are allegedly negative attributes of Jamaica (according to this song). I simply said that buying your drugs from a hotel room (one of the lines) is not negative. To answer your question: no, I don't enjoy getting in knife fights and getting my hand chopped off while listening to reggae, but I wouldn't mind having access to ganja right in my hotel room!
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
i cant get this shit outa my head the last two days wierd this is the only 7" of the month left for sale on fatwreck if this was the least favorite the must be wonderful

I love the way they recorded this tune. And I love when fatmike makes fun of countries--its hilarious.

Totally awesome song that highlights The Talent in the band. I love that tasteful blues guitar solo.
I'm from Ireland but hell yeah Jamaica is cool, people are the salt of the earth! Hear ma now!!!

Italia alright if you like mafia (i'm italian lol)
Lago di Garda is alright if you like mosquito bites.

***** 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 always think of nofx as bad religion's cocky little brother
Always i hear when i smoke gass
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.
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

Bully's fears are of being bullied themselves or not being accepted. That or they enjoy the feeling of being dominant over other people...
This song somehow almost makes me wanna go there, I'm gay though.. So Costa Rica is probably a better option...
Kalvin N lmao
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 :)
Oh yeah, giant spiders are nature's reminder that we are, in fact, just a bunch of little girls.
xD soo true
Bingo
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...
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.

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 😂
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...."
