How many horns did you have?

theaprilfoolsrebel.bsky.social•6 days ago

Don't they just use 'ska like Smurfs use 'smurf'?
'Pass the ska, man!'
'That was so ska!'
'The ska's the limit!'

Go be you. Until you know who that is, stand in front of a mirror until you feel yourself looking back at you, then ask THAT guy. He'll never ever shit you and if he tries, you instantly know it. Likewise, if you try to shit him, you'll instantly know that, too.
Seriously. Try it and DM me.

can't believe nobody picked it up

For a second there, I thought you said SCA album and thought, I did not know people were releasing SCA albums. Then I realized you said Ska, totally different genres.

"Rudie Can't Be Seen with Me in Public".

40ozgoose.bsky.social•6 days ago

The tempo was too slow. I think you should pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.

soupness.bsky.social•6 days ago

Nice.

Ska people don't talk. They respond to everything with a trumpet.

rachelgdoteth.bsky.social•4 days ago

Where's the album tho

exis.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hard to compete with all the bandanna themed songs already in the genre.

mixuga.bsky.social•4 days ago

Clearly. Lol. Maybe try emo?

richardhomer.bsky.social•6 days ago

It doesn’t matter how you talk, as long as there are horns. Gotta make it horny. Like real horny. Ska is horny.

I think they're Jamaican

You don't have to know how ska people talk. It's probably better material if you don't know on purpose.

Ska-rry Gail.
The album is ska-lid, but we all knew that bringing Gary into your ska-revival-multimedia-experience-and-lifestyle-mentorship-brand risked flying too close to the ska-sun.

I really thought my anti-racist Game of Thrones themed punk band would be a big hit.
But the group, MARTIN LUTHER KINGSLAYER, was not well received

Have you tried a cover of an 80’s song?

I suggest She Bop or a Rush song.

pretendasaur.com•6 days ago

I really loved the song Ooh La La Sunshine Pizza Cigarette on your album though, it really hits different.

The beauty of ska is that the lyrics don't matter, so long as the music goes "Boinky boinky boinky boinky." If the audience can bounce up and down in an imaginary two-by-two box, you're in the zone. Oh, and you should say, "Nice fits, bruv," to the people you see. It's considered polite.

Ska is just Reggae on Amphetamines.

Keep at it, you'll pick it up pick it up pick it up eventually.

Stop your messing around. Time you straighten right out.

Like non-ska people, but with more brass instruments .

bobgreencols.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't know what to say. The monkey won't do. 😉

ghostinexile.bsky.social•6 days ago

I often confuse Ska with Smurf.

Which can cause problems, as last time I went to smurf a Ska band there was an unsmurfy incident at the bar, where this smurfy mothersmurfer tried to smurf up in my smurfbag and smurfed his smurf all over my smurfing boots.

Of course we can smurf about now.

sheepbop.bsky.social•6 days ago

Me too. I went to ska a Smurf band. Blue everywhere.

Maybe next time you’ll listen to us and put horns in your ska music

lwspage.bsky.social•6 days ago

Tried to warn you that Theramins weren't gonna be the gateway to Nu Ska. I know you built the monkey theme around that but the people aren't ready

incendiarysolution.bsky.social•6 days ago

As a ska person, It sounds like you're doing everything right

handthatsqueedz.bsky.social•6 days ago

It's a shame about the low sales on your ska album, Gail.

People should really PICK IT UP! PICK IT UP! PICK IT UP!

I told you, you should have used “My Love is a Microwaved Tea” as your lead single. You only get one chance at a first impression.

Ska people talk just like regular people, and I think that's the scariest of all.

I wish there was a gif for this Paula Pell moment in AP Bio:

PP: “He skipped lunch with a student! Look at him: he dressed like Betelgeuse for this!”

Student: “Uh, I’m ska.”

PP: “He’s ska-red! I’m ska too. I’m very ska. But Durbin come back safe safe.”
