Volume 86: Reel Big Fish "Sell Out" (1996)

This remains one of my favorite videos of all time. The intro is so masterfully done that I consider it more of a short film than a music video. I was (and in many ways, continue to be) a real big Reel Big Fish fan. I've seen them live, I dunno, 5? 6? times, and met a few of them too. I used to think I liked (3rd wave) ska, and then I realized I just like RBF. And I like them mainly for the reason that they have a good sense of humor and do not take themselves too seriously, and this video is a perfect example of that. Do yourself a favor and revisit Turn The Radio Off and especially Why Do They Rock So Hard. Great albums whether you're into ska or not.

Enjoy.
