Have you tried a sax solo? It'd be more Specials and less MMBosstones with one.
Fun lyric and good vocal delivery.
Cool.
could you give an example of the guitar rhythm you are talking about? Sax solo might work too.

Had to look up the Specials. Never heard them before. They're not bad but my favorite ska band is probably Less Than Jake.


Bering that you're a LTJ fan try the guitar rhythm in All My Best Friends are Metalheads.
Ska has had at least three popular incarnations - the very original, the post UK punk/late 70s into 80s blast (Specials The Beat, etc) and the Cali version that came a little after Cali skate punk. The guitar rhythm is about all the latter has in common with the original.
