	Yeah! heart I love the Gigantic Pixies Cover that Reel Big Fish did... And (though it's not exactly Ska) Me First and the Gimme Gimmes did a whole entire cover album. Take a Break I beleive it was. Then there's the Aquabats with Video Killed the Radio Star...That song was kick a** too... o.o And many more...

	The Aquabats' cover of GoGo13's "Idiot Box" is awesome. Anyone here of that one? Also, I'm not sure which band did tihs cover, but I heard a ska cover of a Veggietales some which one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

	Ever hear Slightly Askew? Their last song they play at shows is just numerous covers, I mean they go from the Mary Tyler Moore show to Charles In Charge, to commercial jingles, all ska covered. You should check that out, its great.
