I've seen these guys a few times live - once they had Whole Wheat Bread and Streetlight Manifesto open for them. That was simply the best show ever! Great stage presence and energy! I'm now 31 and still play these guys on a daily basis!
nice song. the world need more ska. people don't need pop,r&b and techno. they need to have fun. Ska has all the fun and happiness that the world needed. people need more happiness. we need more ska! thumb up if you agree
Oh wonderful! I just got done watching the other, inferior version of this video and feared that it was the only version available on TH-cam. This is the only "real" version of the video for "Sell Out" as far as I'm concerned, with their agent's car cruising in across the desert like a TIE Fighter. :)
ska was one of my fondest memories being a teenager, i still listen to voodoo glow skulls, RBF, and the might might bosstones. i miss the good ol skank pit...
Do you remember actually leaving the house to go to parties? Do you remember agreeing to meet at a certain bus stop at a certain time with no phone? Do you remember stealing booze from your parents hoping it wouldn’t be the worst thing someone brought? Do you remember someone putting on a CD album that changed your life and made you go buy it the very next day. Then you my friend are in your early 40’s. 😮
totally true. if you ever find people that're into it it's definately still around. what's really falling off is old gutterpunk like lagwagon and shit. it's all pop now
I remember hearing this song in Aggressive Inline. I remember Blasting this on the Boardwalk Level. My Total score over time was about 5 million since it saved everytime.
+Neko Perdomo What kind of japanese is that? :P Sure there's a few japanese words in there, but I'm pretty sure not all of it is. Some sounds like something they've played backwards :P
*Olliewood But heck I still play that game, no matter how old it is, it NEVER actually gets old! This song, Where's Your Head At, and Grow Up are my favorites.
Funny (sad?) how times change. Now, in 2019, if a band like Reel Big Fish got a ton of airtime, and their music was used in commercials and TV shows, we'd celebrate it. 15 years ago we'd be livid. Artists gotta eat and pay bills at the end of the day. In a world of streaming and non-existent record royalties, they have to take what they can get.
i used to hear this song all the time on disney's skate adventure that i played when i was 10, 7 years ago. i just stumbled on this by accident, talk about a nostal-gasm.
so i was listening to my reel big fish on itunes and i realized... wasn't this song like a nickelodeon theme song for a while in the '90s? i remember being like 5 and hearing this.
ahead of their time in everyway. I miss the days when musicians were created in garages etc and musicians actually played instruments, didn't have egos and whose lyrical content didn't consist of degrading women or violence and drugs😧
I listen to a lot of "techno" its also a lot of fun and uplifting, I also listen to metal, rock, and skapunk ofcourse, to appreciate music properly.. you must enjoy it all =)
@SushiCheffff Yeah,and if you remeber another famous song in the game was "Baby it's alright" by Robbie Williams.The second one was playing during the loading while showing the stone player that were coming to light...
personally enjoy orchestral music, avantgarde, nu metal, techno, trance, psy trance, no dubstep, ska, and tons of music even R&B and Old School Hip Hop what people really need is more GREAT MUSIC.
Anyone know about the music video’s director? I can’t find out anything about it on Wiki or anywhere else. World’s funniest vid and nobody cares who made it (who’s the old guy playing “The Man”?).
+Fred Dietz The director is Jeff Gordon, the old guy was his Grandfather. Jeff also directed the 'Trunk Monkey' commercial a few years later. His website is here: www.thejeffgordondigitaldisaster.com/
happiness cannot demanded, it is felt!! Billy Holiday makes me happy!! Music should be true, that is all. This is cartoon Ska, dig out some Ethiopians tunes, and why do you care if some digit gives you a thumbs up, jeez!
Damn it I've been watching reel big fish and streetlight manifesto videos for days now because i wanted to show my roommate what the ska genre was. That being said i should probably thank him when he gets back
The bigger irony that this is the song that gave them alot of radio time and made them really popular for a while. It was on Fifa 2000 too and it worked cos I think I wouldn't have played FIFA 2000 as much if this song hadn't been on it lol

I miss the 90's, when every video had long version. When it actually got aired (usually around 3 am) it was such a treat.
I miss when MTV/VH1 played music videos period. I was turned on to a few bands because of the goofy music videos
"The SECRET to making Good music is in the JAMMM!"! !
Growing up in the 90's this was easily my favorite song from the radio. Love the sound, love the horns, love the energy!
I've seen these guys a few times live - once they had Whole Wheat Bread and Streetlight Manifesto open for them. That was simply the best show ever! Great stage presence and energy! I'm now 31 and still play these guys on a daily basis!
Whole wheat bread! Whole wheat bread!!
Whole Wheat Bread rule! I opened for them and they were awesome guys.
Charlie Paulson looking for a fight! I always loved seeing the goldfinger cameo.
I just realized that was them! Only took me a few decades.
This is so ahead of it's time, if you listen this for the first time in 2046 you won't even notice it's from another century.
3030 represent
THE BEST intro to a song you will ever find.
nice song. the world need more ska. people don't need pop,r&b and techno. they need to have fun. Ska has all the fun and happiness that the world needed. people need more happiness. we need more ska!
thumb up if you agree
Brings me waaaaay back.... Ive listened to this song 3-4 times now.... High school FTW!
Oh wonderful! I just got done watching the other, inferior version of this video and feared that it was the only version available on TH-cam. This is the only "real" version of the video for "Sell Out" as far as I'm concerned, with their agent's car cruising in across the desert like a TIE Fighter. :)
My Teenage years were alll about Reel Big Fish. I should see'm before I get too old
You're completely right, dude. Gotta see 'em before we get too old! Awesome band, awesome memories.
Seeing this is 1996 made me want to start a band... most excellent vibes! Then i found the abandoned 'afe in 2006 on a random drive!
This song is the big reason why I keep going to McDonald's & Wendy's!
Very Exciting!
I just noticed Goldfinger's cameo.
haha thanks, I was trying to scroll through the comments to verify it was them lol. Awesome.
Me too! Also scolled to see if anyone seen them too.
My favorite song in fifa 2000. It got me into ska when I was a kid.
Saw them live yesterday at Warped Tour and fell in love! They are still just as amazing
I just fkn love this song... Always gets me in a happy-go-lucky mood
I'm pretty sure that it's impossible to dislike ska music.
Still TOTALLY AWESOME after all this time!💯👏💖🎶😃🥁🥳🎺😎🎸🤙
ska was one of my fondest memories being a teenager, i still listen to voodoo glow skulls, RBF, and the might might bosstones. i miss the good ol skank pit...
ska is super cool
It's been over 20 years! It's time for a ska revival!! Please!!!
fifa 2000 guys. great times
ohh yess
I used to hang with RBF and yet I don’t remember this video. WTF? I guess I was more into the music and shows.

Buddy do you think parties are online or something now? Thats how i know your from the forties
Broski, I’m only 21, and I did all of these things… what are you trying to do here?

God damn I miss Ska!!!!!!!!!!
I know right?
+Kerry P you said it, buddy
It's never left, homey!
Ska never left, just the people that used to listen to it.
totally true. if you ever find people that're into it it's definately still around.
what's really falling off is old gutterpunk like lagwagon and shit. it's all pop now
yehh I am stuck in 90-s
Man this never gets old
Nostalgia do Fifa 2000 mdsssss!
I want a limo like that!
I was looking for this song for ages! I thought it was from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, but it turned out to be in Disney's Skate Adventure.
Same! I had a great time with that game. The disney one, that is.
I remember that game haha!
I remember hearing this song in Aggressive Inline. I remember Blasting this on the Boardwalk Level. My Total score over time was about 5 million since it saved everytime.
I had aggressive inline too! I must have heard this song all the time then :P
It does sound a lot like Superman by Goldfinger, that is in Tony Hawk PS. Which is funny too, because of Goldfinger's cameo in the music video.
went to see rbf at the 02 in Newcastle last month absolutely amazing band, wouldn't miss them preforming for the world!
I don't expect to ever understand why this video is dubbed in Japanese in the beginning.
because japan loved these guys so much so that average man was a bonus only on the Japanese album
***** Thats Ska
***** Because Reel Big Fish.
+Neko Perdomo What kind of japanese is that? :P Sure there's a few japanese words in there, but I'm pretty sure not all of it is. Some sounds like something they've played backwards :P
ThomasakaDes you a weeb?
Let's them broadcast their music on youtube so their fans can watch for free.
Aggressive inline
How does this song not have over a million views??
We play this song in band at my school. Its pretty awesome.
*Olliewood
But heck I still play that game, no matter how old it is, it NEVER actually gets old! This song, Where's Your Head At, and Grow Up are my favorites.
reel big fish is amazing! love this song

These Guys Put on 1 Hell of a Show Live!!
I saw them at warped 2010. they are as awesome as theyve ever been! SO GOOD
That feeling when you sell out so much you need two music videos of the same song
Ska came before Reggae
only just got introduced to this type of music today! strong sense of irony with this song...love it :)
"I 'reckon the Bloke with the briefcase full of ca$h HAS a Voice that SOUNDS Like that Of BIG ARNIE Arnold Swarzanegger!"! ! !

For the sake of your blood pressure. Forward this song to 2:00.
i still cant believe that i was 10 when this video was released!! 17 yrs ago! wow xoxox love you reel big fish
I totally ran a fan website for these dudes in 1997. I met them in an Arby's after a show. It was hilarious.
i used to hear this song all the time on disney's skate adventure that i played when i was 10, 7 years ago. i just stumbled on this by accident, talk about a nostal-gasm.
thats why I like them the contrast between the dark lyrics and upbeat ska tunes
Thank you, Aimee!🎶❤️🎶
so i was listening to my reel big fish on itunes and i realized... wasn't this song like a nickelodeon theme song for a while in the '90s? i remember being like 5 and hearing this.
ahead of their time in everyway. I miss the days when musicians were created in garages etc and musicians actually played instruments, didn't have egos and whose lyrical content didn't consist of degrading women or violence and drugs😧
I want those shades

I listen to a lot of "techno" its also a lot of fun and uplifting,
I also listen to metal, rock, and skapunk ofcourse, to appreciate music properly.. you must enjoy it all =)
These guys are at warped this year and I'm stoked no matter what
@SushiCheffff Yeah,and if you remeber another famous song in the game was "Baby it's alright" by Robbie Williams.The second one was playing during the loading while showing the stone player that were coming to light...

Disney skating adventure was litterally my life.
Still one of my favs
happiness cannot demanded, it is felt!! Billy Holiday makes me happy!! Music should be true, that is all.
This is cartoon Ska, dig out some Ethiopians tunes, and why do you care if some digit gives you a thumbs up, jeez!
@bitzboy123 this was released a year before I was born and I sill love them.
sweet production for video
real big fish is my childhoooood playing fifa and rocking to ska tunes with my dad at four years old realy big fish is the BOM
Damn it I've been watching reel big fish and streetlight manifesto videos for days now because i wanted to show my roommate what the ska genre was. That being said i should probably thank him when he gets back
I was 4 when this was released. Yet i still love this band.
thanks for the carreer advice
Brings back memories 😃
My brain isn't sure how to handle anything happening here, but is sure as hell struggling to do it.
Sucha great banddd

OMG THE IRONY OF THIS VIDEO AND VEVO!!!!
@thetrueawesemokenzie There is no age for music! Enjoy it! t's still here!
Oh man this brings back memories!
i was 3 when this was released and i still love it and always will
great brass section
Very, very lovely!
The bigger irony that this is the song that gave them alot of radio time and made them really popular for a while. It was on Fifa 2000 too and it worked cos I think I wouldn't have played FIFA 2000 as much if this song hadn't been on it lol
I just love it that they got Goldfinger to cameo as bad guys lmao
That`s the best part when they walk by Goldfinger,...love it :)
I listened through the THPS track list, now I'm listening through the one for Aggressive Inline
