Also, which Pak do you have? There may be missing styles in the Pak level that you're using?

Could you try the following styles?

_EVFNK60 2013/07 RT 191
_PEACE2U 2018/09 Xtra PAK 6
_SERENE 2018/09 Xtra PAK 6
_FNKSYN2 2015/11 RT 240

They all match the song title you mentioned.

fiddler
it was a record label in the early 60s called bluebeat (jamaican i think)
a lot of their recordings were similar a kinda off beat reggae
heres a link to a track,pretty simple stuff
there are also similar tracks with same off beat thing but with a slight shuffle.
i have all the style tracks except bonus pak 5.

_SHAKEIT RT276?
_MELLOW XtraPak2?
_TROPIC XtraPak3?

Not sure, I couldn't find a close match.

Try searching for "shuffle" in the style search box. This should list all the shuffle styles and maybe you can recognize the ska/reggae listed ones there to help eliminate the list?

This is my list of Ska Reggae according to BB2019PLus anyway.Maybe you can adapt one of these.For MockinBird Hill there is an Ev16 that might do for it.Im going to poke some chords in later and see.

Listening to a lot above: All the stuff has sort of a whiteness type grooving, sort of a boring squarish simple kind? Seems like with white blues and ditto zydeco bands; them palefaces ain't got it. But that's IMO ... Bob Marley for ever ... And some of BIAB's RTs are quite a bit better grin ... BTW Pipeline: i like _MELLOW, has a sort of UB40 (the original band) feel. F

The video almost sounds like Blueberry Hill song and I know Biab has the style for that song. Try a Fats Domino/Blueberry Hill style search.
