This has been a song i've been wanting to re-record for quite some time, so here it is! 2 years later, and with way better production, Pure imagination! If you dig this, please give a like and subscribe if you aren't, that stuff is what helps my content show up in the algorithm!!! Part of why this cover sounds so much better now is because I have had huge support from people like you over on Patreon.

I got dope merch that range from S - 3XL that's running short on the skatune network webstore, so check that out at www.skatunenetwork.bigcartel.com and Finally, if you wanna hear some original music, i play trombone in We are the union, and we are on all socials @Wearetheunion, we are on all streaming platforms under We Are the Union, and we do play gigs all around, like in Detroit 8/23 with Zebrahead and chicago 8/24 with The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Menzingers, Mustard Plug, Iron Chic, Buck-o-nine, and more!
YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO GO THIS HAM!!! I’ve listened to the original at least a hundred times and this is next level. Kicks so much ass. That e-piano is what dreams are made of!
Dude, this is so much more than anyone could have asked for. Anyone would have simply watched a one and a half minute version of this and been satisfied. But INSTEAD, you gave us over 4 MINUTES of PURE MUSICAL JOY. By far my favorite video on this site! I don't even care that this is a paragraph comment 4 months later, I just feel like it needed to be said.
You are such an amazing musician, it blows my mind. They say that they won’t remember what you play but how you make them feel, this is the embodiment of that. You are everything I wish to be as a musician
@@flynnlivescmd I like *this* particula ska song, and a few others on this guy's channel. There are some songs I like covered in ANY genre. Just because I listen to one or two Eminem songs doesn't mean I like rap.
I honestly did not expect this to turn out as epic as you manage to bring it here. You truly elevate this piece, giving it an air of sophistication while compromising none of the original composition's whimsy or charm. Totally nailing it on every level. In the words of a certain senator, we will be watching your career with great interest. 😎
I saw this in my recommended a couple times and I just thought I knew you from somewhere. I just realized it from Free At Last’s music video! Gosh you have so much talent!!
Not a speck of light is showing So the danger must be growing Are the fires of Hell a-glowing Is the grisly reaper mowing YES!! THE DANGER MUST BE GROWING FOR THE ROWERS KEEP ON ROWING AND THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT SHOWING ANY SIGNS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
There's something about the combo of the horn timbre and the way you subtly add something to the melodies that takes songs and melodies I've never cared for and makes them so good. Interval selection? I have no idea. But I like it.
You a damn GENIUS son! Brings me back to my highschool days with Less Than Jake and OLD SCHOOL Blink182. This is FIYA! I loved the improv with the bone and the distinct glissandos!
i love your music a whole hell of a lot. in fact you are the reason i'm now interested in ska. thank you for broadening my horizons with such phenomenal songs and covers.
Listen, it's midnight, I'm procrastinating on my college homework and I was jamming to this but then you came out with that bass and ahhhhhhh it's so gooooooooood
Man. I was trying to decide if I should subscribe after listening to two of your ska-punk covers, and decided I should listen to one of your pure ska ones, and picked this one, and I'm REALLY glad I did. Definitely convinced me. Listening to this is like flying around in a strange pop-art world made of - dare I say - pure imagination. I love it. It was even published on my birthday.
been looking for a rock version of Pure imagination because i heard it at an Adam Calvert concert down in Coshocton during intermission. haven't found it, but that might've been something they just did for fun. Anyway found this and i am very happy
WOW!! This worked so well as a ska song + the instrumentation is incredible! You really really hit it out of the park with this one!! Can't wait to see what you do next!!! Cheers! : )
Quality. Talented as heck. I was sent a link to this by my brother in law because I'm a multi instrumentalist who makes ska and reggae music too and he said it reminded him of some of my videos. I wish I could plays the horns too though - something I've never had chance to have a go at. Really glad he sent me this - will be subscribing and checking out more of your stuff. Mr. D
I love how you can make anything into ska. I would like to do some ska medleys of TV show themes myself incl Lost in Space, Hawaii 5 O, Flintstones, I dream of Jeanie, and the Banana Splits...

Already liked and subscribed!
I didn't know your channel then but hearing this gave me instant feels! Only thing better on this would've been adding Gene Wilder's vocals.
Absolutely amazing tunes as always my dude, I admire your passion and talent
Whats your policy on people using your music?
Done. Just don't stop uploading!
It's unfortunate that the world hasn't realized that Ska is its favorite genre of music yet.
We did back in the 90s. :D Someone go remind the newer generations.
@@fata1err0r45 Dude I'm a zoomer and ska is one of my all time favorite genres.
Amen to that.
Its not the genre tho, its this dude that its amazing
@Robert Moore
Literally the most relatable statement anyone has ever said you fuckin legendary human! ❤️
This guys channel was just randomly recommended to me and I am so glad I clicked.
ditto this is good shit!!
Me too

YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO GO THIS HAM!!!

If Willy Wonka was an Anime this would be the opening
Uncle Dollen oh gosh darn it now I gotta bribe someone to make that
Going to need someone to fan animate that now
I feel like this would actually be for the closing credits
This is so accurate
Willy Wonka anime would be incredible
The original recording was what made me sub to this channel. So rad to see you revisit it!!
Same, it was the first video I found.
Me: IM REALLY FEELING IT
Ska tune network's neighbors: ahhh shit here we go again
#1 great work! Holy cow. Probably your best work to date.
#2 big fan of trying to give an electronic keyboard vibrato a la 2:18 🤣
Discovering your channel, I know how Charlie felt finding that last golden ticket.
Keep killing it dude.
Bro those solos/call and responses... they jammed so hard
Dude, when those horns kicked in, I nearly cried. They were so perfect. Fucking rad.

This is very strong Skatalites energy and I'm here for it.
YES!! This scratches an itch I've had since the early 2000s when a credit card company did a punk version for their commercial.
That’s such an early 2000s thing lmao
@@JOfnT Ikr lol
Well now I want a Ska cover of the Carpenters’ “Close to You”
And "Top of the World"
Is this happening?????
Just listen to Dancing Mood, you won't regret it
What would a ska cover of “Calling Occupants” sound like?
this feels like some music for an epilogue scene and i love it
This was honestly one of the best covers I've ever heard. This was absolutely amazing
Close your eyes
Count to three
Make a wish
I wonna be a billionaire.
I want a corgi! 😁
This is the most relaxing thing I've listened to ever.
Please put this on Spotify. I love it. Snagging job man 👍
That freakin trombone solo brooooo
It’s impossible to listen to any of your covers and not have a smile on my face. Ska4life
DAMN! i love this arragement
GOD THAT TROMBONE IS SO MF TASTY
Welp, RUclips recommended a good one to me for once. Posting this in every place I can.
i wood love to see you do Band on the run (showing my age )
I wonder how Gene Wilder would react to this. What an incredible cover, loved how much soul those trombone solos had!
The piano intro had some serious JB Conspiracy vibes and I dug it. Solid quality as always dude
I get a real Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra feel from this, which means IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS EVER. Your work is amazing.
A Cruel Angel's Thesis/Pure Imagination would be the most amazing thing
Trombone is the best instrument
Change my mind
You are such an amazing musician, it blows my mind. They say that they won’t remember what you play but how you make them feel, this is the embodiment of that. You are everything I wish to be as a musician
Here from The Intellivision Amico Scandal. Perfect ending.
Thanks for re-recording this!! The original is one of my favorite covers you do! Keep up the good work my Ska friend!
Eating my wonka bar while head banging to this tune! 🤘🏾😝🤘🏾🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫
30 seconds in and I have to subscribe. I'm indifferent to ska, but this is just too amazing.
Same. I subscribed in about 5 seconds. 😀
So you DO like ska.
Figure urself out man
@@flynnlivescmd I like *this* particula ska song, and a few others on this guy's channel. There are some songs I like covered in ANY genre. Just because I listen to one or two Eminem songs doesn't mean I like rap.
I think the all instrumental covers are the best.
Words cannot express how much I love this. Its so beautiful
Shout out to Snopes gaming room for putting me on this song.
The jump in production quality on your videos has been great to watch, keep it up! This cover is so beautiful.
👏the 👏work👏you 👏do
To make beautiful covers
This is the definition of feel good music
Yo, this slaps harder than my dad when he comes home drunk
henry zander 😂
😭
😂
Oh my 😂😂😂😂😅
Sick cover bro, anybody can play the guitar/bass guitar but horns are a completely different beast. Props to you.
Definitely didnt know I needed this in my life...so happy it's here now.
That Thank You song really smelled like Toots and the Maytals. Nice.
Gotta pay respect to the OGs
Well, it's great! I didn't realize I still liked Ska until I found your channel. I mean, I still listen to Cake but, that's just a given.

I’m watching the ad before the video starts, but I already know it’s going to be epic.
I saw this in my recommended a couple times and I just thought I knew you from somewhere. I just realized it from Free At Last’s music video! Gosh you have so much talent!!
Dude that Streetlight Manifesto banner is awesome!
I went and learned to play it on the piano because of this video.
I like the vibrato at 2:17
As a big man child.im loving this.thank you for the music
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
YES!! THE DANGER MUST BE GROWING
FOR THE ROWERS KEEP ON ROWING
AND THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT SHOWING
ANY SIGNS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
what is this - a Freak out !?😣
Yooo, the Willy Wonka pinball machine from Jersey Jack just came out. This is fitting for 2 of my subcultures!!
Just wanna say, themed pinball machine enthusiast and fan of ska-ifying music have got to be the two most obscure subcultures I now know of.
There's something about the combo of the horn timbre and the way you subtly add something to the melodies that takes songs and melodies I've never cared for and makes them so good. Interval selection? I have no idea. But I like it.
DUUUUDE. I need to use this as a theme-song. I mean... I AM "The Tribunal Of The Imagination."
SKA IS NOT DEAD!!!
You a damn GENIUS son! Brings me back to my highschool days with Less Than Jake and OLD SCHOOL Blink182. This is FIYA! I loved the improv with the bone and the distinct glissandos!

I'm getting massive Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra vibes from this one

This is the opening theme to my anime
Wow you are playing all the instruments, and the production is superb. I have just subed. Keep em coming my friend
This is one of my favorite videos on RUclips, bro. I revisit it every few months. Such a rad tune.
This why I love Ska covers. Beautiful sound
This hits like a TSPO track, fucking stellar horns and playing all around.
Bringing my childhood favorite to my current taste in music. Thank you my friend.
Blown away by this production!! Well job, this is everything needed
Great stuff man, really like what you did with this one! Loved the overlapping solos at the back end.
Thats so rad that you have jetty bones on your wall. Saw them at a local show last year and they were pretty much amazing.
Thank you for the re recording! Its amazing!
This healed my soulless ginger carcass
I miss being a ska kid, the 2000s had soo many ska shows in Metairie, new orleans, and baton rouge here in the south. R.I.P. Cypress Hall
i get soo hyped up listening to “big D and the kids table, noise complaint!”
You sir, have a great channel. Making ska music great again
Purely amazing. Keep killing it man.
As a drummer I love your covers keep it up, keep skanking and ska alive, my, mate
Found ya cuz of BDG but I stayed for the bass solo and aesthetics. 10/10 will watch again.
I am yet to find anything on your channel that I don’t like keep it up man don’t stop it!!!!
I'm a bit embarrassed to ask, but.. is this .. real? Do you really arrange all of these songs? They're really amazing.
This was amazing! Randomly found on /r videos. I love this!! Ill be checking out the rest of your vids
Trumpet solo on fucking point as always! Dug the transition into the sax there.
Awesome job bro!
WOW!! This worked so well as a ska song + the instrumentation is incredible! You really really hit it out of the park with this one!! Can't wait to see what you do next!!! Cheers! : )
HAHAHA!!! This is great ! Put a smile on my sunday morning :-D
Dude :D This is dope as fuck. Amazing job on it. /subbed
When are you and Insaneintherain getting together?
Yo saw this through recommendations and you're awesome! Top talent my man
Great performance as always. Sharing on The Awesomer.
Quality. Talented as heck. I was sent a link to this by my brother in law because I'm a multi instrumentalist who makes ska and reggae music too and he said it reminded him of some of my videos.
I wish I could plays the horns too though - something I've never had chance to have a go at.
Really glad he sent me this - will be subscribing and checking out more of your stuff.
Mr. D
Holy shit man, been lurking through your videos lately and this is just gold
I love the originality you bring to existing songs. Keep up the amazing work I wish nothing but the best for you man!
I'm glad youtube reccomended this. Nice to see people put actual effort into videos.
I love how you can make anything into ska. I would like to do some ska medleys of TV show themes myself incl Lost in Space, Hawaii 5 O, Flintstones, I dream of Jeanie, and the Banana Splits...
This cover makes me so happy.
Favorite ska cover ever I think
Daammmnnnn Willy WonSKA
Just found you, this is now one of my favorite channels.
