It’s a quarter to 5am, one-third through 2024, and this gets dropped in my yt page. That was 4 minutes of fun that I’ll want to experience again. Thank you almighty algore-rhythm for making my life more meaningful.

@@jhowardsupporter Hey there! I'm about as Scottish as you can get and HELL NO I'm not British, I'm Scottish and most Scots feel the same way. Do you see the same people and faces every day? That was a bit of a daft question really wasn't it? The UK is made up of Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England, and each country within it has its own culture and heritage. Scotland and N.Ireland have very distinct but similar cultures and although Wales is a Celtic country like Scotland and NI it probably has more in common with England. To be honest, I know very little about English culture outside of the two stereotypes of skinhead football twats and Tea drinking upper crust bores, that's not to say either one of those stereotypes is accurate- I'm sure there are fun, friendly folk in the mix too, I've just never met any :P. The truth of the matter is, we're stuck together for the foreseeable future like it or not (and I reeeaaalllyyy don't) so we can politely ignore each other until a better solution can be found. Personally, devolution isn't far enough for most Scots and Irish, a clean and complete break is preferable. Great music though!

As we continued we came across a small roadside shrine. Instead of a plaque, there was a beautifully painted little signpost it said: "In memory of Dafydd Evans, the poor bastard died of exhaustion". Sad really. Have you ever visited ...The Great And Powerful UK? Lol. If you haven't and can and can afford it, you should. It's a beautiful place. For a great night out I'd recommend Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, Edinburgh, and Newcastle (Newcastle is in England but right on the border with Scotland. It has been part of Scotland for short periods of time too. I guess we got a little barbarian on them and it stuck. They can party with the Scots and the Irish no problem and I've always found them to be great fun. Loch Lomond and the Trossachs national park is stunning, as is the haunting Glencoe and Bannockburn. The Highlands and Islands are breathtaking and pristine. We have amazing Galleries, museums, pubs, shopping, clubs, and restaurants- not to mention the huge festivals we hold each year. Ireland is beautiful too, also boasting fantastic nightlife. food, history, Guinness! It really is a lot of fun and a holiday to remember.

I cant agree more with all of these comments. What a gem is spot on

Random bit of trivia... Mel Brooks was one of the creators of the original TV series "Get Smart". I think my searching for Mel Brooks nostalgia told the algorithm gods to send me this video and it did not disappoint. I absolutely love me some SKA!!!

I'll never get tired of this band.

8 years this vid has been up and I still show it to my musician friends and say, come on lads let's do this!

Wow, 22yrs after leaving Victoria I find this 8yrs late 🤣 This is epic, I've recently rediscovered ska ❤️ Thanks KZread algorithm, for once 😍

Always so good to come back here every few months and get some cheering up in these endlessly, endlessly challenging days. Thanks, guys and gals!

Found it today. It is fantastic. Just what I needed to lift my spirits

Großartig!

This music describes the world right now it's a madhouse out there isn't it folks I hope everyone's doing well through the hyperinflation and the pandemics and Wars

I love this just as much as I loved watching "Get Smart" back in the day...that was a great show!

Fantastic version of the theme tune of a TV series that was a favourite of mine in the 1960s. Just in case you don't realise the significance of the final comment on the video, 'Missed it by that much!', I should explain it was it was a line uttered by Maxwell Smart after a KAOS agent tried to escape arrest by jumping from a skyscraper window, in the firm belief that his co-conspirators had parked a truck loaded with mattresses directly below!

That is one of the silliest, most wonderful things I have seen in a while... Plus, I love Ska, so there!

And loving it!

This is great, where was I nine years ago?

Wow. My new faves! Not since Madness has there been such fun. Love the steel drums in the lift. Have this replace rap here and this country might still have a shot at greatness.

Keep coming back to this song, it so good and the video is great.
