Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The - Hell Of A Hat Lyrics

Bring ska-punk back

I'm hearing a lot of Crowded House's "Sister Madly" in this...

Ladies and gentlemen - Mr. Ben Carr!

2019 anyone

smells AND TASTES like BEEr and cigarretes.

30 people don't have a hell of a hat

This is a bro fan base

God damn I’m old! This came out 22 years ago!😳

On special occasions I try to dress like the guy they describe in this song.

Need picture!

Including the gun?

Holy smoke I love this song!!!!

they are so fucking fun

Some of Nate Alberts finest guitar work here.

Disturbingly underrated. Pretty much no one knows the guy. He can switch between styles w/o effort

I'll never look at sushi or karaoke the same again!

Love it..just love it. Mighty Mighty Bosstones are my happy place.

👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌😄😄😄😄😄

was that lars

WHERE..?

Even though they cut out "motherfucker" which they totally shouldn't have, its still a good song XD

I think the censoring with horns is actually kinda cool haha

Bosstones? Who's the leader of the band jack septic eye???

@nuri emini I don't even....what?

I want to start a Ska band.
I play bass. Anyone in? XD

I'm down!

I play drums

Damn I play bass too. Thats alr we can have 2 bass players

this is the greatest video ever made along with candlemass bewitched

on point

Ahhhhhh! Yes!

these videos are so stupid they are beautiful!

classic.

Bleeping out words in 2014? Really? Kids can go straight from here to porn and filth with a click. Leave the lyrics alone. "Sharpest motherfucker in the join....."

Also, the "scene" is at a karaoke place, and they generally don't swear in those.

In case you can't comprehend it this happens to be the official music video which aired on channels like MTV back in 1994 when it was released.  You could NOT have those words published on the screen.  So by law, they had to censor it.  If they played this on the radio today, they would still have to censor it by law.

@*****
Back in the late 80's to mid 90's when they played music.  Haven't even turned that channel on in around 20 years.

T Ryan Damn fuckin straight!!

i love that shake and sound .

come to Brazil!

I love the old bearded fuck.

Videos used to advertise the band too, in such a positive way! People are too stiff these days and aren't edgy at all!

Yes, it is Lars

Is the guy at 3:07 the lead singer of Monster Magnet?

is that lars fredriksen at 2:58?

I swear that's Lemmy from at MotorHead at 1:45.....LOL

aint nobody better

You've got that backwards, Stray Cats sound a little bit like the Bosstones....

you think the dude standing between the two guys swing the cleavers around ever got nervous?

O António Variações não morreu, está velho e careca e aparece neste video ao 1:25... XD

Yup. Manager. One can only imagine what went in that conversation:

Dicky: We need a manager. You think you can do that? Are you up to the job?
Ben: Totally. But you need to allow me to get up on stage and dance around.
Dicky: Deal.

Although the "real" story is that they went to a club for a gig and he wasn't allowed because he was underage. They told the owner he was part of the band and all he did was dance around to avoid getting kicked out.

Bens the manager? Been following this band for over 20 years, and neverr fuckin new that!

He's their manager, actually.

i'm 19 and i have the advantage of being an adult while still technically being a teenager.

*Removed by VEVO* VEVO and it's mother *Removed by VEVO* sensor. I guess it's run by a bunch of *Removed by VEVO* *Removed by VEVO*. *Removed by VEVO* this *Removed by VEVO*!!!

@RileyM1989 Yes it was!

mothercensorshipfuckers!

Vevo some motherfuckers...

So wish this was uncensored...awesome fucking video.

luv the bosstones but i luv the originators too. prince buster toots and the mytels it originated in jamaica in the early 60s ska is the father of reggae and took england by storm the working class adapted it skinheads. not the racist skinheads.

i wonder if dancin' guy is still alive... or if he had a heart attack?

Ben Carr, Bosstones dancer and tour manager is still alive.

Ha ha punks getting on and rubbish racist rants on other music channels!

2:56 GBH motherfucker!

Fuck Vevo and its censoring

@StraightPunkEdge93 PERFECT!!!

@StraightPunkEdge93 Take it from Tool, the music video is an art form.

Question the Answers

@Capz541 it's about the original rude boys who where gangsters. something like that.

@ToothChipNThrash
Incorrect, but thanks for playing.

You mean to tell me that's not Lance Armstrong?? O_o

Videos in the 90's seem to be something that was more than a promotion for records. It was something to have fun with and be creative. Videos now (mainstream videos really) are so fucking boring.

Whoever disliked this go screw yourself, if it wasn't for the bosstones i never would have gotten into ska.

Baker: That's the point. Japanese karaoke has all these insane videos that don't go with the song at all.

@aler420 It does look a little more like Lars.

i like curse words god damn motherfucking bitches.

@loubra20 Actually that was Lars.

is that tim armstrong?

why i hate rap shit.
please tell me why i should like rap. just so i can have friends?

You go Ben @2:35

One of their funkiest and best songs ever!

Crusty old dude was nicely complimented by the green suited man!

@TheBuffaloChicken
Because Vevo is shit.

@loismustdie1134 looks like to me

I really have no idea the point of the video to the song. Nor do I care.

Take a look, kiddies, this is the music I grew up on, and this is what music should be.

was this video made on the same day when they made kinder words?

@patriciaketchup: considering he didn't play an instrument in the band, i'd sure hope so ;p

<3<3<3 old bosstones

nice skanking on the table haha
