Ska will forever be my guilty pleasure, and I'm not even that guilty about it. Electroswing is the kind of music that should be relegated to video game soundtracks and nothing else. It's should be illegal to produce or purchase an album.

KC and the Sunshine Band falls under this category. The lead singer and face of the band was this white disco haired Donny Osmond/Greg Brady looking mother fucker so everyone wrote them off as disco but most of the band is black and their poo poo is funky as hell. Also, someone else beat me to the punch mentioning Fishbone. Those dudes were wild and would mix ska, funk, metal, punk and R&B soul in some really cool ways. They never quite got their due IMO.

Hyperlynx posted:The funniest genre of music is patriotic military marches, because they always sound like circus music. counterpoint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=results https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=results And not really a military march but it's got the same vibe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcS_sjbJNDI As a bit of a side note, Battle Hymn of the Republic / John Brown's Body (same tune, different lyrics) both have some pretty intense lyrics and can be pretty good if sung right. It's a fairly melodic song, but you can put a real gently caress you spin on it. Not the best example, but you get the idea; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_UpjvmwEVI Problem is, most of the versions you'll hear follow the Mormon Tabernacle Choir version of singing it like it's a goddamned church song. Both versions are basically about curb stomping slave owners, stop singing it like you're the intermission for a Latin mass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAqNe-m0a8s Fake edit: If you push into early 20th century socialist/communist anthems you can find a lot of ones that toe the line between beer hall song and military march. Prime example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2alukPo8tQ Of course you can find the same thing from the right, but gently caress Nazis I'm not posting the Horst Wessel.

It's there, but it's really subdued, and it's the sine qua non of ska. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8g8bBGz6Vc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BwNgQ51hSI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wSXTN2EfRo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5_GsvONTJY
