Hello TH-cam listeners, We've come to the point in this cover where those listening on cassette, or records, will have to stand up and grab their phone or sit down at their computer. In fairness to those listeners, we'll now take a few seconds before we continue to the comments. Thank you, here they are.
This song was the last of the first half on the album it was recorded for. As a joke, Tom Petty included a recorded message for CD listeners essentially saying “people listening on vinyl and cassette have to flip the record/tape at this point, so we’re including this random message with a few moments of silence in the middle of the CD version to be fair to them”.
My absolute favorite Thomas tune, now an absolutely INSTANT classic by my hero Jer. So unbelievably good. The horns. The keyboard solo. The absolutely flawless groove. Incredible work!
My favorite part of this video is watching Jer's water bottle on the right twist as they cut between shots. Oh and the absolute RIPPIN banger they turned this into!
Please let this get millions of views, off to an awesome start. Always loved this song and this version made me love it more. Ur energy is everything bro *crosses fingers*
Always tough to decide whether the ones that sound like the song has always been wanting to be ska are better, or the ones that feel like a truly new take on the song are better. This one, somehow, feels like both? Like you stepped into an alternate universe where this IS the version of the song. Amazing job as always!
*sees title* Oh really? I wonder how *ten seconds in* Absolutely, of course. This was a ska song the whole time and only Jer knew it. - Me, every single time
I knew this song would slap in ska! Last year, I asked Agent Jay how much it would cost to get the Slackers to cover this song for me 😂. This is great too 🥳

I was really hoping someone had done something like this. You're my hero.

@@Jobrill heh I’m just glad someone got it 🤣
@@sebastianaranguibel1443 ah right lol, went right over my head
God damn this is really fuckin good. Never thought a Tom Petty song would translate this well into ska
Hearing that opening part played as a horn line just makes so much sense and I'm amazed I never made that connection.
Very bosstones esque
Didn't the bostones cover it?
My love for boomer rock AND ska melted into one?? This rules, omg! You rule!!
That keyboard solo at the end tho

i dunno why calling him thomas is so funny to me
thomas the tune engine
Literally everything about this song is perfect for ska. Amazing.

That feel change on the 2nd verse hits just right.
That organ feature holy shit
There are times when you just run out of superlatives, and you've done it.
Thank you for this, The world is a better, more joyful place for it.
I heard this song on the radio today, and thought it would be great as a ska song. THANK YOU for bringing this to life!!!

A ska cover of Free Falln' could break the internet ⚾🖥️
It could be that I'm just on mushrooms right now, but that breakdown fucking slapped

2:02 “now i’m picking it up”. how appropriate 😁😁
Probably my favorite Tom Petty song, and man it translates beautifully into ska style! Your work always blows me away.
2:00 They said the thing!
Damn, this one works so well! Those chorus vocal harmonies are super good in particular.
Yoooo, you keep creating these Venn diagram overlaps I never knew I needed in my life! Grew up with Tom Petty, and this gem makes me so HAPPY!
You straight up killed this one, brother! Love it! I bet Tom is up by the Pearly Gates skankin away to this with some of his Wilbury friends.
This slaps so hard it breaks my heart.
This is as good as the original, which is the highest compliment one can give when it comes to Tom Petty covers
*sees title* Oh really? I wonder how *ten seconds in* Absolutely, of course. This was a ska song the whole time and only Jer knew it.
- Me, every single time
0:53 that groovy dancing = my joy at this cover :D
Jer is a generational talent. Freakin' amazing.
Support his Patreon! 🤘🏻😎
Whenever hear the original of this song all I think of is spending hours first learning and then just flying through GTA San Andreas.
Great cover.
This might be my favorite one yet
When the San Andreas sound track meets THPS soundtrack
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater: San Andreas needs to get made

I love tom petty and I love ska. This was amazing.
As a Petty fan, I can say you really kicked ass on this version. This is easily in the top 3 of your covers. Keep up the good work.
I knew this song would slap in ska!
Last year, I asked Agent Jay how much it would cost to get the Slackers to cover this song for me 😂. This is great too 🥳
Awesome, Tom would be proud that you totally rocked out with that key board, hahaha, great stuff!
Hell yeah!!! Good times!!!!!
Holy shit, this slaps so hard.
God damn this sounds like a Mustard Plug homage too. Another 11/10 for Jer
Turned it into the perfect summer jam
is it weird that I sing along to the end credits song and get it in my head sometimes?
HOLY WOW, that keyboard work, though!! Amazing job!
That keyboard solo! Shades of Cory Henry, you were in the zone and having a great time with it! Loved it.
You're doing gods work
Happy birthday to me! Skatune Network cover drop is a great present. Thanks Jer!
I love watching his water bottle shift in every new shot
