No ano passado, o site humorístico College Humor criou um clipe tirando um sarro do ska, mais precisamente do fato do ritmo exagerar de vez em quando na quantidade de instrumentos de sopro (o que realmente acontece em algumas músicas). Como muita gente não entendia o que eles estavam cantando, eu deixei a preguiça de lado e finalmente legendei o clipe, coisa que eu queria fazer desde que o vídeo foi lançado.

Por incrível que pareça, não achei a letra nem em inglês na internet. Então caso alguém esteja curioso, aí está:
Summer of Music - Too Many Horns (Lyrics)
Grab the Fedora and the chain wallet,
and meet me at the bowling alley.
Got 12 of these brass in the back of my band,
come straight from Southern Cali.
Crank the Bosstones or Less Than Jake.
The side burns all the way can mean it.
Call your stepdad so he knows you're just safe.
And don't skank unless you mean it.
Don't skank unless you mean it.
Ok. Horns!
Don't skank unless you mean it.
Pick it up! Pick it up!
Put on your zoot suit.
Step on your Vans.
And...
...but don't skank unless you...
A little less brass, guys.
Don't skank unless you mean it.
Don't skank unless you mean it.
Guitar solo.
I said guitar!
Is that a french horn?
Ska is forever.
It will never die.
As long as you remember
These important advices:
Just...
And then...
...plaid shorts.
That's the impression that i get.
Lower. Damn! Horns.
Where all you guys come from?
...unless you mean it.
What? But. No! Get that f***** (...) outta here!
Don't skank unless you... mean it!
Chain wallet!
