@roachdoggjr1940 You might be right actually. It would just be a gimmick that would inevitably become overused sort of like the meme "Credit to the camera man for surviving that blah blah blah."
My high school aged daughter saw the Bosstones at a concert yesterday. She said she was the youngest one by far that was dancing and singing the words. Somebody asked her how she knew these guys, and she credited me. Made my day when she told me about it!

This song is based on Boston Irish-Catholic politician James Michael Curley. He was Mayor, Governor, Rep and City Councilor. He served one of his terms in federal prison. A famous book that was also based on Curley was entitled “The Last Hurrah”, and Curley’s autobiography was entitled “I’d Do It Again!”
REMINDS Me of a TIME when HOLLYWOOD MOVIES Headlined a Leading LADY alongside the Starring Gentleman UNLIKE today Where We SEE FIVE BLOKES ON A MOVIE POSTER TO SHOW WOMEN THEIR PLACE IN THE WORLD! !
I just noticed the beginning is a recreation of an Elvis Presley and Walter Matthau scene from King Creole. Can't believe I'm just noticing that after all these years
!! UPDATE !! The guy who edited this is Alan Chimenti ! i just found it on IMDB ALAN CHIMENTI ! 👊🏽👊🏽 I need to meet the guy who edited this. He *cut on the clauses* like a friggin beast and kept the pacing up the whole time with perfect continuity. Well done sir
@@GroundUpProduct00 most everything is cut/edited to the timing of the music. Even to the point where the mob boss tapping his pen is to the beat, he finishes his dance at the end of the breakdown before going back into the chorus, etc.
before the music 🎵🎶 was the over enjoyed seeing my favorite band ☺️😀 the mighty 😊😁 might boss tones play so many 👍👍👍👍 great show s for all fans like me
I remember. I share. I flare. If I didn't how can you declare yourself to be faithful. Star and stairs ✨ ramps are better adjustable and knees need less so ramp up. See a light? Let's go
Can't wait for Trap-Ska or Drill-Ska to mix Bars and 808s with the Brass Section 😂. I only slightly jest, it's highly possible. Although I'd prefer and feel like Thrash would fit much better as a Genre Fusion. Imagine some sick Bars over some D-Beats🔥
@@jn-ti3of plenty of new ska bands out there even if they've never hit the mainstream breakthrough third wave did, but then with rock music largely out of the mainstream these days I don't think we're ever gonna see that level of breakthrough for any alt-rock subgenre besides like, emo '00s-stalgia ever again
Bosstones shows were the best shows. we all went to bounce around and bump into everybody and dig that dude who really knew how to skank. nobody was there to get hurt or hurt anybody, just to have a great time, lose your friends in the crowd then meet up at the car. all today's younguns need to know: the 90's were the best time for live shows.
Let's Face It is one of the best 3rd Wave Ska albums of all time. Along with Goldfinger's Hang-Ups and Reel Big Fish's Turn The Radio Off. Those three albums were my late 1990's.
I always used to get a laugh by yelling do it again after he said it in the song. It's something that will be done up to the last time I hear this song.
Remember this song from the Airport level (First level) of Rogue Trip (PS1), played endlessly when I was 8. Miss those days, this song brings me back there.
In these days of Commercial Pop, I fear we will never see another "band" as good as the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Great song! Great video and they were amazing live!!!
He was one of the 4 longest serving members before he and the other weak-willed dweebs tried to force the lead singer to get an experimental injection and ended the band.
Well he was fueled by a lack, drew inspiration from a need. So many problems to crack and mouths to feed. Crooked was the path, and brazen was the walk. A cocky swagger, up the ladder, and could he ever talk. The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again. The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them. The love of God and constant contradictions, With a smile, wink, or nod. What's stranger, fact or fiction? And never ceasing to amaze me on a regular basis. First hand in his pocket or first fist into the faces. The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again. The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them. A legendary character. When? Only then. Where? Only there. A hero or a hooligan? Well, that part's just never clear. Pride or shame, it's all the same. Who's innocent or who's to blame? Politics or just a game? Well in the end they knew his name. The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again. The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them?
Back in 90s I moved to rich but old fashioned from new music province in Indonesia called Ujung Pandang, South Sulawesi. When I came back to my hometown Bandung, West Java, Indonesia my cousins introduced me to Bosstones, Less Than Jake, No Doubt
Don't know if these guys knew they'd get so many fans from Rogue Trip Vacation 2012. But since I heard them on that game, I can't get enough of this song. The live version is even better.
Love the Boss man dances 1:54 surprises me when his shoes hit the floor & that turn pure "Ballet" ....The Rascal King. Great lyrics and the Horn section Kicks tail.
Don't worry I have a "gut feeling" the Ska/Rap fusion (Skrap) will happen in the near future. People will start Rapping on Ska songs and mixing in 808s.
love this song and the band..my great grandfather was james michael curley..my cousin played for boston college basketball..billy CURLEY MY SON BRANDON PLAYED FOOTBALL AT HOLY CROSS AND I WAS BORN IN 1940 AT BOSTON MAIN HOSPITAL..MY MOMS FAMILY FROM DORCHESTER..TALBOT AVE..
From 1991-1998 I drove a car that had no radio, cassette, CD... no music player of any kind. I enjoyed the silence. It was like being on a new musicless island for 8 years. The place I worked had classic country playing all the time. That was it. Now I'm finally getting caught up on the music of that period and I really like what I'm hearing.
Gonna be honest. I played Rouge Trip before I knew the name of this song. I'm 18, I've been playing that game since I was like 6. I just learned the name a month ago. Only reason I managed to find the name is because I heard the AFV song, the impression I get and thought it was this song, then I realized it was the same guys on the same album.
I’m watching Aaron Rodgers play his “ last game” and this song comes on my playlist. Love him or hate him he was an amazing athlete. It was good to see his last hurrah . Song seems fitting.
Man this brings me back to freshman year in high school in 2000-2001. Feels like it just happened yesterday, can’t believe it’s been over 20+ years! Loved ska back then like Less than Jake, reel big fish and of course the Bosstones!
Mine was with my sister.We would play Rouge Trip over and over again.Unfortunately I don't have a PlayStation anymore and my sister now lives in another state, but I always have the memories.
I would just like to thank the PlayStation for introducing me to The Bosstones and Goldfinger back in the late 90's. I still own both games and both albums.
I first heard this song from a Twisted Metal knockoff called Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012. Could never figure out the name of this song until I remembered that game.
When I was 8 I won a raffle and the prize was a free cd at a legebdary and locally beloved record store in my town called "Slipped Disc" I bought "The Mighty Mighty Bosstones CD, the one with "The Impression That I Get" on it" because that song was HUGE back then. This song became my favorite MMB song. This always brings me right back to 2nd-3rd grade lol
Any band that employs a full time dancer and credits him on the sleeve as "the bosstone" is a band I will always love and respect.
I think 2 Skinny J's used to have two dudes that were just kind of part of the stage show - a rabbit and a pimp if i recall
WHAT! EHVA! MOOLIE!
Icon, more bands need one singular dancer nowadays. Dude was a cold blooded pimp
Fat boy slim had Christopher Walkin crushing it in that video.
@roachdoggjr1940 You might be right actually. It would just be a gimmick that would inevitably become overused sort of like the meme "Credit to the camera man for surviving that blah blah blah."
Who’s into Ska in 2024? Stand up!!!
It can totally become mainstream. These songs are loved by all but no artists put effort into songs like these
(At least big mainstream artists)
Don't you mean...Pick it up😉

Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012
Such a left field choice, but so perfectly encapsulated the world they tried to build in that game
This song is based on Boston Irish-Catholic politician James Michael Curley. He was Mayor, Governor, Rep and City Councilor. He served one of his terms in federal prison.

Bury the hatchet, fellas. The world is a better place with the Bosstones together.
It's so true man.
I just noticed the beginning is a recreation of an Elvis Presley and Walter Matthau scene from King Creole. Can't believe I'm just noticing that after all these years

This is a song where you're like "I haven't heard this for 5 years" And then proceed to listen to 50 times in a row.
so goddamn right!!
100 times in a row for me!!!
No song has ever moved me as much as this one!!!
I'm on about 10 so far, and I'm just going to say it...I miss the fucking 90's.
And still remember all the words
Rouge Trip brought me here
This song makes me want to go on a vacation. A rouge trip, if you will.
Me too. And I mixed it up with Vigilante 8
i see what you did here
Loved it.
Holy BASED.
A person of culture I see!
No matter how many times Ska music dies, it will always rise again. VIVA LA 4TH WAVE!
I remember. I share. I flare. If I didn't how can you declare yourself to be faithful. Star and stairs ✨ ramps are better adjustable and knees need less so ramp up. See a light? Let's go
How's that going bud?
It's back in Detroit

This takes me back to my vacation back in 2012. What a trip.
I bet the trip was a rogue one. 😉
Nice. Clever too. Instead of the just saying "Rogue Trip!", kind of a buried reference.
Looool
That insane rogue trip hahha
You and me both!!!

Agree, same thing in Indonesia.
You can't not bounce when you listen to the Bosstones
I never saw the Bosstones, but I agree that was the best era for concerts.
Let's Face It is one of the best 3rd Wave Ska albums of all time. Along with Goldfinger's Hang-Ups and Reel Big Fish's Turn The Radio Off. Those three albums were my late 1990's.
i feel like i would have liked you if i knew you
Same.
might I add Losing Streak by LTJ
loved this band and LTJ.
Totally agree. I'd throw in Mustard Plug's "Pray For Mojo" as well
I always used to get a laugh by yelling do it again after he said it in the song. It's something that will be done up to the last time I hear this song.
This song always takes me back to playing RogueTrip on PS1 when I was a kid. Loved that game.
Who's here after the band announced they are no longer going to continue? :(
Remember this song from the Airport level (First level) of Rogue Trip (PS1), played endlessly when I was 8. Miss those days, this song brings me back there.
Same! I used to think they said, "put the mustard on the bun, do it again" and I've been singing it that way for over 20 years now
Me too I loved that game way better than the whole Twisted Metal series in my opinion
They played the version from the Live From the Middle East album but still love it
here for the same reason lol
I can play that to this day to this song😢
Rogue Trip: Vacation 2012 🤠👌
That's where I first heard this song. I loved that game.
8 year old me on the ps2 😂
"You? Are going to sing?" Cue best song-hit/hip-thrust ever.
Heard this song for the first time playing Rogue trip on the Playstation 1. had no idea it was the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
lol me too
In these days of Commercial Pop, I fear we will never see another "band" as good as the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Great song! Great video and they were amazing live!!!
Vacation 2012!
Play this first thing in the morning and tell me you ain’t ready to kick the day in the arse.
Haven't heard this since rogue trip: vacation 2012 on the original playstation...good times
Wait, is the dancing dude conducting the band? I feel like I *just* made that connection 25 years later…
Yes. He's conductor.
He was one of the 4 longest serving members before he and the other weak-willed dweebs tried to force the lead singer to get an experimental injection and ended the band.
First heard this from Rogue Trip (ps1 game). TBH I don't remember much of the game, the song left more of a lasting impression.
Being alive in the 90s brought me here.
90s is the dope shit
Me too. Their concert is one of my favorite memories
What were you born in 98? Lol
Yup... and all my classmates used to sing the chorus wrong
My moms taste in music from my childhood brought me here
Rogue Trip forever!
As a kid I always thought he said "the rascal kicked me on the balls with the world in front of him" 😂
LOL!!!😂
Well he was fueled by a lack, drew inspiration from a need.
So many problems to crack and mouths to feed.
Crooked was the path, and brazen was the walk.
A cocky swagger, up the ladder, and could he ever talk.
The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again.
The Rascal King behind the bars
or the one in front of them.
The love of God and constant contradictions,
With a smile, wink, or nod.
What's stranger, fact or fiction?
And never ceasing to amaze me on a regular basis.
First hand in his pocket or first fist into the faces.
The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again.
The Rascal King behind the bars
or the one in front of them.
A legendary character.
When? Only then.
Where? Only there.
A hero or a hooligan? Well, that part's just never clear.
Pride or shame, it's all the same.
Who's innocent or who's to blame?
Politics or just a game?
Well in the end they knew his name.
The last hurrah? Nah! I'd do it again.
The Rascal King behind the bars

it's a dance pimp. For those hesitant to dance at clubs -- he sets the tone. the BOSS tone...
underated for sure
Back in 90s I moved to rich but old fashioned from new music province in Indonesia called Ujung Pandang, South Sulawesi. When I came back to my hometown Bandung, West Java, Indonesia my cousins introduced me to Bosstones, Less Than Jake, No Doubt
"Yea, Im gonna try and sing ...but I got these other 18 guys" :) GO SKA!!
This is good ska band.
One of the bests
Brought up on Toots and the Maytals, then Madness and the Specials, now this. Ska lives on. Great music, thank you.
I still play this s*** on daily basis
I can’t wait for concerts to come back so i can see them live for like the 2,000th time.
I‘ve never seen them live I love them so muchhh
If you haven't seen them yet you're too late my friend they just broke up
@@jakeydeefpv i have seen them many times. I am aware of the break up. I was just hoping to see them one more time.
I couldnt be any lesser of a Ska fan. But this song reminds me of the game "Rogue Trip" and it has me feeling nostalgic for some car combat.
Don't know if these guys knew they'd get so many fans from Rogue Trip Vacation 2012.
But since I heard them on that game, I can't get enough of this song.
The live version is even better.
Awesome game
PRIME DIRECTIVE MY WASTE PORT!
OUTSTANDING SONG.
I LOVE SKA!
The bass player looks so happy.
and that bassline is crazy.
It must be fun AF to play the bass during a live show when this song hits the set list.
Joe Gittleman "The Bass Fiddleman" is the undisputed KING of bassists.
It's a kickass bassline. I just learned it the other day. Gives the fingers a real workout.
@@briankirchner8388 Joe's one of the best bassists I've ever seen.
Me Jammin to this in XLAX on Rogue Trip Vacation
Rogue Trip ... No way to describe what I'm feeling right now, good memories , my childrood
Want to live it all again.
That bassline is killer!!
Love the Boss man dances 1:54 surprises me when his shoes hit the floor & that turn pure "Ballet" ....The Rascal King. Great lyrics and the Horn section Kicks tail.
yes
Yes
YES
Nostalgia. Rogue Trip. Incredible.
SKA took a hit after hearing the Bosstones called it quits in ‘22 but SKA never dies!
Word
Don't worry I have a "gut feeling" the Ska/Rap fusion (Skrap) will happen in the near future. People will start Rapping on Ska songs and mixing in 808s.
My friend Doug and I love skanking to this song.

Yes we do!
And afterwards kissing each others Oscar Meijer weiners .

Listen to "Attack of the Twistin' Tarantulas" album (1996)
Still remember the words to this song and “Impression that I get” all these years later lol
This album came out the summer after my freshmen year in HS. I wore it out. Great memories
Still one of my favorite music videos.
Hometown Throwdown in December, who wan's to go to Boston with me?
