Ska is pretty much
always irreverent, you have to be a comedian at heart to pull it off
whatsoever. And boy did these guys qualify. Jimmy 2 Times served
up classic Ska to the San Francisco Bay Area for many years. Another
band whose public fade-out I greatly lament. But if you have sufficient
broadband to download a large video, you can see J2X performing
[a different song] here.
"Swank" by Jimmy 2 Times
[Oh, do you know,
the month... ]
Under these lights,
these obnoxious lights,
I strip my clothes off, smile inside...
Touching you, you're touching me,
I'm loose and easy as you can see --
So grind me in
your factory,
Grind me in your factory,
Grind me in your factory,
And feel it when you wish to be
So grind me in
your factory,
See everything you want to see,
Shocking truths -- exclusive photos,
Silicone tits and all my lovers!
We'll pretend
we're being real together
And when you come, I'll fake mine for you!
Grind me in your
factory,
Grind me in your factory,
You and me, you and me,
My gratitude, your fantasy!
Where's my swank
now?
People get off
on one another,
What they're doing and where they're gonna...
What's that feeling, what's it brought you
What's it gonna take to stop you?
So grind me in
your factory,
And I'll grind you in my fantasy,
When you grind me in your fantasy
It won't be real, but who can be?
It's
all green now, it's all free now
Where's my swank now?
I think it's time to spank now...
Wait just a minute, I'll be right with you
I'm taking care of business in my bathroom!
It's
all green now, it's all free now
Where's my swank now?
Is it time to skank now?
You're walking
slowly, slyly, aiming for that section
That shows you all the glamour and gives you an erection,
Naked girls, naked boys,
Playing with big people toys
In and out, in and out, in and out they go...
Won't be long
you stand in line
Shots for conversation,
Talk that goes on in your head,
Your imagination,
They're not -- they'll never --
They're just a figmentation --
So put your hands on down your pants and have a revelation!
Grind me in your
factory,
Grind me in your fantasy
Grind me in your factory,
and I'll grind you in my fantasy
Where's my swank
now?
Where's my swank now?
Where's my swank now?
It's time, it's time to spank now!
It's time to
spank now!
Another really catchy song -- a bit less risqué
-- from their second album, "The Return of Henry Hill", is the
song "On the House". I really like the lyric: "You
don't bring me down / It's you I'm clinging to!"
This song is copyright by Jimmy 2 Times. No ownership

for your "review purposes",
in other words, I am explicitly hoping that this sample inspires you to
go out and buy the song. And thereby avoid having Jimmy 2 Times sue me.
