I went into this expecting a goofy robot terrorizing some people. What I got instead was a tribute to many bands that I've listened to over the years. No reason to complain here.
BoogerPestilence And I wouldn't actually be all that surpised if MC Lars could it too in all honestly and also ICP IS NOT AT ANY KIND OF NINJA IN EVEN NEOPOLIAN DYNAMYTE SENSE EVEN Hattori Hanzo is probably like ready to come back to life and show then A REAL Shinobi
Umm, I'm a Juggalo, also you do realize that MC Lars has listed ICP as one of his main influences. Please work on your grammar and be more tolerant to your other subcultures. Thank you.
Hey dude I won't admit that some juggalo's are actually worth the name but GENERALLY it's I seem to run into unbelievable number who would call MC Lars a posser and my most rescent encounter with another so called "Juggalo" I mean the fact you actually knew REALLY good music besides ICP so many of them in my town can't admit MC Frontalot is fnckin bomb and when I start bustin "Space Game" they look at like "WTF?" I've been a creative writing master but yes I know my grammer is not often that good but still

The '90s: when we had ska, 3D Doritos, the N64, skateboarding, and ten thousand Steve Harwell clones walking around in the suburbs of every major city.
Me and my brother play this song on Rock Band all the time. Super funky. Was wondering where the Operation Ivy references were, then I saw the music video and I was satisfied within seconds
I feel that it would be wrong for me to pass this by without saying that moose don't have horns. Moose have antlers. Also that would be "and AN asshole in the back."
I’ve loved this song as a kid, but now I truly appreciate the references to amazing music such as save Ferris, reel big fish, the night Bostones and many more
@@mc_lars They're my favorite band, it's so cool to see someone paying homage. I just found you like a week ago man, and you're music is incredible! You're one of the only hip hop artists I've ever seen who's so rooted in punk rock. Would you ever think about coming to do a show in Idaho?
Operation ivy obviously a massive influence on alot of bands (the figure with the hat in the notebook), Jesse Michaels is a lyrical genius and so is lars.
I got a birthday card today from MC Lars and the lead singer from Wheatus today, that and MC Lars did a video rapping that he wished I could have come to his gig. Was a pretty damn awesome birthday present!
dude, i would pay any amount to hear an entire album of MC Lars rappin over some 3rd Wave Ska. 2019 and still bumpin this LOUD! Also, tell the ATL whats up. Miss my hometown.
Is the 90's coming back? With rad guys making music like this it deffinetly should! Pop-punk! Ska! Spiked hair! T-shirts with logos that aren't splattered all over the place!!!
I still can't get over how amazing this song is, and how even MORE amazing the video is. It is seriously stupefying. My only grief is that there wasn't a Reel Big Fish album cover in amongst the others, RBF being my favorite band and all, but seeing as how they actually get mentioned in the song itself I guess I can deal with the oversight, heh. MC Lars is mind-numbingly rad.
i love this song i started jr high in 97 it was a great time. i got way into ska in about 01. there was still a pretty strong scene in utah county at the time. it was fun i miss it alot.
Lars killed the stage at STL Warped Tour! He is definitely one of the coolest guys i met! I got the drumstick from the show and he was cool enough to give me a cd and sign that too ^^ Lars bro i love you! and I hope to see you next year with MC Chris!
This is amazing!!! From that Man Ray style look to those fresh Lyrics I give this piece a truly 5 star rating. Great collaboration all around =) Good work fellas.
that video just referenced pretty much every amazing ska band in the 90's! sound system in the beginning, goldfinger, the aquabats, and mustard plug in the end, just to name a few. awesome song!
You would. Ska died in the 90's. You are probably just some 33 year old wishing he was still in high school. I wish people like you would just listen to something new like... uh... fuck it. I'm not very good at trolling. MOTHERFUCKIN HORN SECTION FOREVER!
Had no idea that you had your own channel, or did TED talks. Subscribed. Heard your music a few months ago. Very seldom do songs instrantly tug at my sleeve so hard.
Such a great song man. I hope you know there still a ton of great Ska out there. I don't know if we are in a new wave of it but, it's still there keeping me happy on the daily.
Oddly enough, just had that thought too. Been trying to learn how to play ska ukulele as a hobby. Not super far yet, but hey, I ended up with one due to a convoluted chain of events, so might as well
I looked up Less Than Jake after hearing one of their songs in THUG2. And thanks to Wrestlemania 21, I also never realized that Zebrahead wasn't just metal (or maybe it was Powerman 5000?). My all-time favorite is Reel Big Fish, though. All the more to thank video games for. Plus TomSka for getting me curious about the genre nearly three years ago, haha.
Hyped on the reference to the Wherehouse. I got a giant Fury of the Aquabats poster from there for free when they were taking down their promo after the album had been out for a bit. Still have it. Ah, I'm fucking old.
wow, what an awesome video! i remember lars saying back in may 09 that they were going to make a video for this song. its well worth the wait! love the style
This is the best song out there! What do you get when you mix suburban legends, the bat commander and an awesome story? This song rocks!! I wish 3rd wave ska would make a come back!

Nerdy Ska punk rap? The answer is fucking hell yes.
True dat! It almost be bet if it went straight in LAX by Big D and the Kids Table but still fnck killer and so totally true
For sure

As someone who recently discovered ska, this is one of my all-time favorite songs.
ska with the masterplays
Welcome to the ska family. We have the happiest music, the best covers and the most entertaining depressing songs.
Welcome to the scene. Trad is my jam, but I mean, it's a large fam
You'll love it here! I'm also rather new to ska myself (well, like 2 years), and honestly, I've never seen a scene better than this.
You're gonna love it. So much to learn while you enjoy the music.
"Black coat, white shoes, black hat" - sounds like that robot's a Time Bomb!
"This gigantic rowboat kills, it's gonna row against the stream, it's gonna flow down a hill. It's gonna smash into some rocks and toss the rowers overboard, they're gonna go over a waterfall and snap their spinal cords!"
Amazing!!
I hope you've produced more ska music because this is legitimately one of the best Ska songs I've heard.
Thanks! And I have! th-cam.com/video/GJAhlccBdMs/w-d-xo.html
If they bring back the Aquabats! Super Show! I hope this gets made into an episode.
Thanks man! That would be awesome. :)
I'd absolutely second that
They made a sequel series called the radventures so hopefully
I showed my mom this she loved the fact that I love songs about the 90s and 80s she's also into ska punk now because of this
That's awesome! Uniting the generations! :)
billy is literally me forreal
I feel it
I'm seeing five iron frenzy in a few days. They werent name dropped in the song but are totally in the video
They are dope!!
the fact it has commander and ska references is just the cherry on top
I'm nostalgic to song that is nostalgic to 90s. Time goes fast AF
Agreed!!
Bring the horn section back.
The '90s: when we had ska, 3D Doritos, the N64, skateboarding, and ten thousand Steve Harwell clones walking around in the suburbs of every major city.
soup sandwich 🤣
3D DORITOS BRO THE NEW LOGOS SUCKS EGGS LOL
“Ska is not dead”
Yup, I wish I was born 20-30 years earlier!!
PSX and thps2❤ nintendo
Me and my brother play this song on Rock Band all the time. Super funky. Was wondering where the Operation Ivy references were, then I saw the music video and I was satisfied within seconds
What's the difference between a moose and a ska band? A moose has horns in the front and a asshole in the back.
despite (or probably because of) being a huge ska fan, this is my new favorite joke.
+James Parker Langston I stole the joke from the video game Watch Dogs. I won't pretend it was my original idea.
I feel that it would be wrong for me to pass this by without saying that moose don't have horns. Moose have antlers. Also that would be "and AN asshole in the back."
HAHAHAHAHA the hype man skank dancer lmao
I’ve loved this song as a kid, but now I truly appreciate the references to amazing music such as save Ferris, reel big fish, the night Bostones and many more
4.1k likes... what the fuck is wrong with this world! This is one of the best songs recorded!
great song, great vid bonus points for the great WESLEY WILLIS!
Rock and roll McDonalds! Rock and roll McDonald’s!
I whooped Batman’s ass
Love that it has MC Bat Commander.
Operation Ivy with the hat on the notebook at the start, Jesse Michaels is a lyrical genius, so is lars.
“Don’t come to the science fair tomorrow.”
- Billy, probably
Damn this song rocks, gotta love the MCBC!
dude seeing this again almost 6 years later and all the things that i understand like the rancid reference is insane to me
Haha, thanks homie!!
This is my new anthem, and takes me back to high school. Ska is not dead!!
I feel old.
This is legit the greatest ska song of all time. Absolutely bangs.
Ayee the operation ivy logo! Nice!
Love them!!
@@mc_lars They're my favorite band, it's so cool to see someone paying homage. I just found you like a week ago man, and you're music is incredible! You're one of the only hip hop artists I've ever seen who's so rooted in punk rock. Would you ever think about coming to do a show in Idaho?
I wish there was more ska-rap music
Thanks man. :) Here's another one! th-cam.com/video/GJAhlccBdMs/w-d-xo.html
Check out the Johnstones. Ska-Punk-rap from Ajax, Ontario.
Sonic boom six, night gaunts.
An example of how you don't need super advanced digital animation to make an excellent and great looking video!
holy shit im 17 and this makes me feel so fucking nostalgic for my childhood already i wonder how this is gonna be years from now. new fan for sure
Loved hearing this at the end of the Pick it Up documentary. Very fitting tribute!
Thank you!!
I remember my parents showing me this video 10 or so years ago, and I'm so glad I remembered it. Bumps just as hard as it did back then
12 years later and I get to show this to my own kid! Love growing up
Amazing!!
Killing me softly with his song.
That video was everything I had hoped it would be.
Operation ivy obviously a massive influence on alot of bands (the figure with the hat in the notebook), Jesse Michaels is a lyrical genius and so is lars.
STILL one of the best damn songs I've ever heard
THANK YOU ROCK BAND for introducing me to my GOAT
I appreciate you!!
@mc_lars 🙏🙏🙏
As someone with a giant robot, this song speaks to me :)
That's awesome!!
Never miss a song! Subscribe for more ska rap flavor! bit.ly/2tiyAxd
Lars, did you tweak the thumbnail frame for this video to bump the Aquabats?
I got a birthday card today from MC Lars and the lead singer from Wheatus today, that and MC Lars did a video rapping that he wished I could have come to his gig. Was a pretty damn awesome birthday present!

Thank you Jessie! This is a great idea! On it!!
The amount of references in this song( and video) is worthy of ball tripping.
Is the 90's coming back? With rad guys making music like this it deffinetly should! Pop-punk! Ska! Spiked hair! T-shirts with logos that aren't splattered all over the place!!!
Love this man, is underrated. Thank you for this nice tune! And amazing video, Greetings and thank you so much!
Thanks homie!!

90s!!! Come Back!!!
I miss the 90's now. The O.C. Supertones were a constant soundtrack for me back then.
This is a great song with so many references to the bands I love!
Lars killed the stage at STL Warped Tour! He is definitely one of the coolest guys i met! I got the drumstick from the show and he was cool enough to give me a cd and sign that too ^^ Lars bro i love you! and I hope to see you next year with MC Chris!
i heard this song for the first time at warped tour last year. I wanna go back!
I've had The Graduate for a long time and haven't listened to this until now, I'm glad that I did. MC Lars made a ska song and it didn't suck :)
This is amazing!!! From that Man Ray style look to those fresh Lyrics I give this piece a truly 5 star rating. Great collaboration all around =) Good work fellas.
That was ridiculously good.
WHOOOOOOOOO!!! THE OC SUPERTONES!!! MY FAVORITE BAND EVER!!! AND FIF! SKA'S NOT DEAD!
Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!
RIP sweet prince may ur family deal with your loss well
knew you from the ballad of hans moleman, and instantly recognized your sound when i heard it being bumped. love hearing your distinct switchups !!
Thank you!!
that video just referenced pretty much every amazing ska band in the 90's! sound system in the beginning, goldfinger, the aquabats, and mustard plug in the end, just to name a few. awesome song!
Met you in 2012 at Slam Dunk. Been bumping you since Igeneration til now.15/16 years.
Much love dude!!! It's been a long time!!
@@mc_lars you signed a cd for me so much love for that. still got the nes cartridge necklace?
@@lookherelooklisten1975 I do!! :)
That was amazing!
I wasn't even born in the 90s but I felt this entire song.
That’s awesome - thank you!
I miss the 8 person aquabats :(
we all do
@@skankinwitch5180 will you marry me?
WHOOOOOOOOO!!! THE OC SUPERTONES!!! MY FAVORITE BAND EVER!!!
song and visuals are straight up fire. deserves way more than 370k views
Thanks homie!!
He mentions it as one of the bands comprising third wave ska that billy was obsessed with. He mentions it, but it's very quick.
Really great song
Lars' videos continue to kick ass. Brilliant. And I miss Ska.
That Rancid reference.
you mean all those references. A lot of his music has references and homages to some of the people he respects the most. Dude's an amazing guy.
first time i heard that i had to pause cuz it blew my mind that he threw that in there
This makes me so happy.
You would. Ska died in the 90's. You are probably just some 33 year old wishing he was still in high school. I wish people like you would just listen to something new like... uh... fuck it. I'm not very good at trolling. MOTHERFUCKIN HORN SECTION FOREVER!
So completely love this video!!!!!
Forever in our memories. RIP.
BRING THE 90's BACK........................
Had no idea that you had your own channel, or did TED talks. Subscribed. Heard your music a few months ago. Very seldom do songs instrantly tug at my sleeve so hard.
LARS! Please do some more Ska related music! I love it!
This is the most awesome thing I have seen and heard in a while.
You know, it's scary how I'm only 15, an I know most of these bands by heart. SKA FOREVER!
You're 26 now and I genuinely hope you're still bumping Ska and skanking. Ska is not dead.
Such a great song man. I hope you know there still a ton of great Ska out there. I don't know if we are in a new wave of it but, it's still there keeping me happy on the daily.
I appreciate that, homie!!
Oddly enough, just had that thought too. Been trying to learn how to play ska ukulele as a hobby. Not super far yet, but hey, I ended up with one due to a convoluted chain of events, so might as well

Ahhhh old comments
Even older comments.
I love this song i had no idea they made a video its even better now xDD
Everyone thinks that their favorite ska band is not referenced in the song but most of the time it really is
!!!!1111!!!11!!!1!!!1
grr
i'm not sure what i watched but it is AWESOME!!!
hell fucking yea
Thank you Lars!!! Love you!! ❤❤❤
Really awesome video! Creative and awesome. Nice job.
wow, what an awesome video! i remember lars saying back in may 09 that they were going to make a video for this song. its well worth the wait! love the style
Awesome song & video.
I like the sublime sun at 0:20!
i loved this guy
Is that Animated Soundwave I see? Mad props!
MC lars is not dead. he is still touring here in Australia and just had the "Edgar allen poe - EP" Released
i skanked on stage at warped to this song today. w o w highlight of my life hahah
This is the best song out there! What do you get when you mix suburban legends, the bat commander and an awesome story? This song rocks!! I wish 3rd wave ska would make a come back!
absolutely amazing my friend...i didnt believe this song could get any better...however adding the video made it that much more awesome...
Ska's not dead. Just exhausted from all that skanking.
