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.
I just received news that my best friend of 52 years died. Get Smart was her favorite TV show. I have cranked this tune all afternoon. This is for you George.❤ Thank you Melbourne Ska Orchestra!! Would you believe...?
@@brianfergus839if you're well versed than you know there is 4 waves of ska when including the one we are currently in. This is definitely a ska sound through and through. You may be thinking of skate punk 3rd wave if you really think this doesn't sound like ska. I suggest expanding your horizons before trying to say that arguably the closest sound to original 1st wave ska, doesn't sound like ska
Fantastic, Madness fan here from the UK in Wolverhampton, England, close to Coventry, home of the Specials, Around in the 2 Tone revival of the late 70's early 80's This evokes nostalgia for me, Awesome!
These guys bring it every, single, time! Say what you will, but you'd need to be deaf (or maybe dead ?) not to appreciate those black and white 2 tone beats. This is an absolute class. Love you guys and gals!
Go to the shows around town if u live in Los Angeles or look up local groups in ur area the music is still being played ❤ n skanked : D I was just at a show last night
Saw them live in Toronto Canada. It was a great show. We skanked our butts off. They were super nice and actually spoke to us because we had on our best ska regalia.
Them going in and through the public toilet was flippin hilarious…and all stuffed into the elevator.. This made my Friday night 🍻🍻🍻 Cheers! Can’t get enough ska..miss the ole days! (I’m 50 years young)
I have always loved Ska since I first heard Mirror in the Bathroom back in high school. But this video has shown me the true power of Ska: to bring smiles, dancing, and joy to my heart, even after 3 weeks of social distancing and near isolation (I live alone). Thank you so very much!!
That's a good intro. My intro was, I thiiiink, a boot cassette of "I Just Can't Stop It" my sister got at college. "Listen to this." ZOUNDS! Which album starts with... "Mirror In The Bathroom." And maybe some Bad Manners and Specials... I forget.
@@josephdidonna7227 I go crazy, around 1982 when I hear "one step beyond" in the radio, and I "dance" like a chimpanse on speed, and didn t know, what backround these nutty boy s have, the music inself have, years later was explained to me, this is ska, from a girl in my highschoolclass, with the cool nam EnSKAt, thanx a lot!!! Open a new world to me.
Loved Ska in high school and college (80s and 90s), then kinda stopped listening to it. Then I saw Fishbone on Ft. Collins, CO, 2 years ago, and 2 Ska bands opened for them! That rekindled my interest in Ska, and I've been discovering some hidden treasures both new and old!
its called the united kingdom cos ireland and scotland are part of it. So are Scotish people british? I just don't understand it's 19 hours drive along the length. Isn't it really small. In Australia you will die if you start walking into the outback. Theres fences there that stretch the length of America. Do you just see the same places and same people everyday cos it's really small? I wanna go to Kew Gardens one day and see the palm house and all that. That's really all I wanna see just Kew Gardens maybe the gardens at Buckingham.
@@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!
@@jhowardsupporter Nah, We had tried though. We started out well enough, every 30 minutes there was a signpost...to what you said >:P ...After a while, the signposts were all smeared angling off diagonally. 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.
@@murphysgirlmurphy3369 Well one of the old guys here is a former Mi6 agent. A couple from the SAS. I've watched Skins and The Powder Room and all sorts. We don't really have a culture in Australia, unless you consider being an Aussie Bogan culture, so we were all raised on American and British culture through the TV. Right now the Aussies think the 5g network causes corona virus. At the protest here one guy said "there is no corona virus" and the rest seem to think the 5g mobile phone network causes corona virus.
Lived in Melbourne for a time in the late 80s, this clip and its location shots are so iconically Melbourne , loved living there, this vid brings it all back.. Fantastic.
These guys are having so much fun! Very enjoyable, I loved the show and the theme 🤣😂👍👍 so i guess that added to my enjoyment, but still! I didn't really know what ska was until now.
This classic rock fan found this by accident looking up info about a get smart episode! Been watching it several days now, also some of the other great music they have made! Outstanding
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.
And this is the song that got me into the Melbourne ska Orchestra. I even used what my man said that the beginning every time I go into work just to get my co-workers hyped up for the day
Oi! Oi! Absolutely bloody brilliant! Ello from London. I'm an original London skinhead well into my 60s now and always kept the faith. Hope you get over here to London one day, again, you are bloody brilliant 👍🏻🤜🏼🤛🏼🤪🏴
I listened to a lot of third wave ska back in the day, and even did a cameo appearance or two in a ska band hornline. But this *amazing* video only came up on my radar today. THANK YOU, Ska-locator and TH-cam recommender algorithm!
We are an acoustic ska band made of almost 20 friends from Brazil, who reunites once a month in Rio to play ska/reggae hits. What a great vibe you all have! Hope you come to Brazil someday!
I use to listen to ska when I was a kid in Africa when my parents were missionary over in Africa I didn't know or understand the music but I show love it.
Oh, man that was so much fun to hear I've never heard a version of a television theme song from get smart like this this was absolutely the best I was a big fan of the show when I was the kid you can still see the show on stations here in States but man that was absolutely fun and I think that if Don Adams was around he would have loved it!!!

After 10 years, TH-cam thought I should hear this. And it was damn right.
The AI's a bit shite, catching up to all those years where Ska wasn't awesome
I used to be a ska kid back in the day. I suppose I am now a ska adult. Big it up
Same.
Where have you been all my life? Thank you TH-cam for popping this on my Home page. I LOVE brass and this was an absolute joy to listen to.
I guess the mighty Algorhythm woke this one up from the past. It's effin magnificent. Cheers from Texas.
I sleep in a cone of silence.
A decade later this shows up in the States. Thank you.
Blessed are the Ska-makers, sharing fun over all the earth.
I love going down random TH-cam rabbit holes and landing on absolute gems like this one. Bravo!

like the sax solo and the marimba. Are most of you still with us on planet earth?
Never!

just discovered these chaps . IM HOOKED reminds me in highschool when I first heard "Night Boat to Cairo". loves me some Ska!!

thats just what i was thinking
Not even close . To either
Does not even come close why compare them at all
@@gregorygriffiths7776 The video itself invites comparison to Madness. Why else would they imitate Madness videos?
I'm 10 years late as well, but You Tube was right. i keep listening again and again. this is wonderful.
A Ska band can NEVER have too many members
As I was binge watching TH-cam, finally located a group of happy people
And this is the song that got me into the Melbourne ska Orchestra. I even used what my man said that the beginning every time I go into work just to get my co-workers hyped up for the day
That is one of the silliest, most wonderful things I have seen in a while... Plus, I love Ska, so there!
This music video is brilliant and these people are clearly having fun.
Once bitten your Ska'd for life.
