You know when your day is starting off with a trip to the dentist for a root canal, it's not going to be a lot of fun. Once you survive the procedure itself then comes the inevitable throbbing pain as the anesthesia wears off and those pain pills become very welcome friends... Such was my day so far, but now the hard part is over it's time for some fun to cheer me up. Of course the pills might not hurt with that either!
For some reason some fun ska music always cheers me up, and since it's Tuesday it's makes a great theme for a post! But first off I want to say thank you to 
Let's kick off with one of the legendary ska bands out of England, The Beat!
The Beat (The English Beat)
Formed in Birmingham, England in 1978 this band became one of the biggest ska/reggae bands of the 1980's. In England they are known as The Beat, in the US as The English Beat and Australia as The British Beat. Their debut album I Just Can't Stop It became a best seller not only in Europe, but he US and Australia. Their were multiple hit songs but one of my favorites has always been "Mirror In The Bathroom":
Madness
Formed in 1976 in Camden Town, London, England these guys were one of the biggest bands in ska in the late 70's and early 80's. They revived two-tone ska and had hit songs on both sides of the pond. In 1981 they released the stand alone single "It Must Be Love" that became one of their biggest hits. I still remember hearing it on the radio when I was a kid!
No Doubt
This Orange County, California band is among my favorite bands from the 90's and 2000's. As a matter of fact they are from Anaheim, the home of Disneyland. They came together as a ska band in 1986 and put out a great debut album in 1992 although it didn't sell very well. It does have some great music though. But the album Tragic Kingdom in 1995 made them world famous. What was the big change? Gwen Stefani started to write the songs for the album whereas her brother had in the past. I guess it took a woman's touch for the band to really take off.
They have always used elements of ska even in their later music and makes it a lot of fun. But here is "Spiderwebs" off of Tragic Kingdom with that nice 90's ska sound:
That will do it for this Three Tune Tuesday. I hope you enjoyed some nice upbeat ska music, I've always loved the genre personally! Please feel free to leave any questions or comments below, and thank you so much for all of your support. I really do deeply appreciate it! Have a great day everyone!
