Original skins mate (my cousin was one, til she started going out with a Hells Angel). Working class white kids copying Jamaican culture. Them Jamaicans in the 60s always looked natty, close cropped hair, pork pie hats, braces, Sta-Prest strides, Harringtons.

This is a Hank Williams number, first given the Ska treatment by Prince Buster in 1964. This version is by ex Rancid frontman and hardcore Californian punk degenerate, Timebomb Tim. Music crosses all borders freely, thank god.
When he appeared at the London Ska Festival in 2012, Jerry Dammers freely admitted these guys were imitators, not innovators. Talented imitators though. You can't mention ska without mentioning...
