Geeky SKAturday: There's a McDonald's in the Pentagon

Well, this actually might be the most influential ska song to come out so far this year.  If you haven't already fallen victim to this earworm, here's your chance to be infected...

I may not have discovered this masterpiece if it weren't for r/Ska, but apparently it's achieved a healthy level of virality on TikTok.  There's even a Know Your Meme page for it, if you'd like to check out the details, but...briefly: In February, musician Silly Stu put the original acoustic version online.  Here it is...or, a copy of it at least...I still don't completely get TikTok...

I guess it's worth saying here: The lyrics in this little tune are clever as hell.  And clearly it's super catchy.  So, thankfully, Spencer Vann decided to expand upon it, and 10 days later, we got the ska gem in that first video above.  Vann even goes over his process of making the backing track in a video here:

And it seems this song is already a bit of a phenomenon.  I'm sure there will be more, but here's the first cover I heard, by Philly ska band Goofy at Night:

(I'm not sure why they left out the last bit of lyrics...maybe they didn't love the idea of exclaiming, Bitch you hit the Pentagon!  But who knows...)

At any rate, I am very happy to bring this song into the canon of the Agents of SKA.  Surely there are times that this super-secret organization (the Sentinel Khrononaut All-Stars) has to have extra-secret meetings with a double-secret committee from the American military.  Now we know exactly where those meetings take place.  I'm guessing in the crew room...

Hope you all have a great SKAturday and a wonderful rest of your weekend...!
