Ska Bike Videos - Pt 10: Captain Bringdown and the Buzzkillers

Captain Bringdown and the Buzzkillers - For the Kids

Ever heard about a band called "Captain Bringdown and the Buzzkillers"? Sounds funny and is worth a listen. The guys who made this DIY video of a bike tour have a sense for cool Punk SKA! The video itself is not worth mentioning but bicycles brought me to this band, I'd never have known otherwise.

Ska Bike Videos - Pt. 9: Bicycle Seat

The Original by Jango Edwards: Live Would Be Oh So Sweet, If I Was a Bicycle Seat.

Jango introduced himself as Larie Languina, when he performed this Song in Italy. Never heard this song before, so I was happy to come across this little Caribbean jewel. Wish I was a bicycle seat too.

The Cover Version by Max Splodge & Splodgenessabounds: Bicycle Seat

Not a bad version with nasty vocals and odd steel drums. Punk, Oi! and Ska fans may prefer this one.

Comment by Jango Edwards on YouTube:
Just for the record this single released by Max Splodge lists author unknown but is an exact copy taken from my 1st album "Jango Edwards and the Friends Roadshow-Live in the Melkweg" and the song I composed "Life Would be oh so Sweet if I was a Bicycle Seat." Since 1976 I've recorded and released 5 variation of my song on my 1st Square Records single, a 2nd single for Ariola and the albums "Clown Power" and "Jango Edwards and the Little Big Nose Banned-Live in Europe."

Reggae Bike Song: Early B - Wheely Wheely

Early B aka The Doctor (real name Earlando Arrington Neil) was a Jamaican dancehall and reggae artist who, amongst other songs, became famous with the single Wheely Wheely (1984, 56 Hope Road), a hymn about bicycle riding in Jamaica. Early B got his satge name from the nick name Early Bird, which he earned by coming always early to his shows. Unfortunately he also died early, when he was shot in Massachusetts on 9/11 1994 in a Windsor Crickett Club in Dorchester. Neither his killers were ever found nor the reason for his killing was revealed.

Four Wheel No Real (1984, Midnight Rock) was the title of his first LP (though facts differ very much on dates in several sources) and already indicated his love for the two-wheeler, while with his second LP Wheely Wheely (1985, Sunset) he carried on with the promotion for bicycles and the coolness of the one-wheel-ride, that makes the girls dem cry out loud.

Early B - Wheely Wheely

This one dedicated to all the youth who ride bicycle

I admire all the youth dem ride one wheel

One wheel wheel him mek we wheely one wheel

Say this is not a bargain, say this is not a deal

Say this is like huff in a delicious meal

I jus love all de youth dem a ride one wheel

It look like a movie but we know it is real

Some say like dem a gwan like dem a mek outta steel

Around de microphone dis is de doctor Early B

Early B - Bicycle Bicycle

Before Early B released the Wheely Wheely hit song another song called Bicycle Bicycle appeared first on the Techniques label in 1983 and later on the Rosie Uprising label in 1984.

Early B - Four Wheel No Real

This is the title Song of the Four Wheel No Real (1984, Midnight Rock) LP. There was probably no other Jamaican reggae artist who dedicated his lyrics as radically to the two-wheeler as Early B did. We should remember him for this and listen to his nice and decent dancehall styles again and again.

Blue Beat Bikes - Pt. 3

Marc's trade mark

is a very distinguished way of playing his tenor sax. He isn't spoilt by scholastic lessons and smart-alecky teachers, quite the contrary, he's one of the last self made masters of the dreaded deadly tone. Just the same way as he rides his white Pakka bike. Most likely the only MTB on this planet with a carrier AND a wire basket. It's the only way to carry a sax safely, he claims.

Marc has been sax playing with Bluekilla since 1987.

Ska Bike Videos - Pt. 7: The Rinky Dink

Quite a hippie style thing but the engineering and the bicycle craftsmanship is brilliant. There's even traces of Ska & Reggae in the music. Love the power slaves riding the generator. Ride on Rinky Dink.

Reggae Bike Song: Jah Thomas - Bicycle Skank

Watch ya man!

Nutty Dread go deh pon de bicycle, an den me do de likkle bicycle skank.
