IFIAYAQD: What's that song?
Apr. 20th, 2012 08:57 amIt's It's Friday, I Ask You a Question Time!
I'm putting together a ska playlist, and there are the usual suspects (Madness, Reel Big Fish, Fishbone, Specials, etc) and I'm checking out a few bands I'm new to as well, like the Slackers. But in addition I know there are some bands that are not known as ska bands that have done some ska, like Elvis's "Watching the Detectives" or Joe Jackson's "Beat Crazy", and possibly even Ricky Martin's "Vida Loca". These are the ones I'm looking for, and I figure the Clash or the Police might be gold mines if I looked through them. But I'm lazy, so instead I come to you, LJHiveMind, and ask "What ska tunes do you know of from non-ska band sources?"
( A quick ska primer for those in search of knowledge )
