Dance Hall Crashers are all the good things about ska. They write great songs like "Shelley" and "Too Late." They also have not only one but two very talented female singers who harmonize like the Andrews Sisters and make a ska sound unlike any other. I have never heard a Dance Hall Crashers song that didn't put a smile on my face, and that's the whole point. Ska wasn't just this cult-ish weird thing that sprung up in the 90's for no reason. A lot of music in the 90's got into the whole "My life sucks and this whole world sucks and we're all eventually going to die" thing. Ska was a never ending pool party baby. It was a cool pool party (la la la la). Seriously, ska makes it feel like summertime all the time, and nobody does that better than Dance Hall Crashers.
