Reel Big Fish’s cover of “Take On Me” might be one of the greatest covers of all time. Which is what makes this new cover album, Fame, Fortune and Fornication so interesting.

The OC’S original skanking pranksters, Reel Big Fish have just released their new album, a 10 song serving of high-energy cover songs which they’ve dubbed, Fame, Fortune and Fornication. It includes the band’s signature ska take on such classics as Poison’s “Talk Dirty To Me”,  Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down”,  John Mellencamp’s “Authority Song” and The Eagles’ “The Long Run.” For good measure, Reel Big Fish pay tribute to their early ska/reggae forefather’s with versions of Desmond Dekker’s “Keep A Cool Head” and Toots and The Maytals “Monkey Man.”

Here they are playing their version of Poison’s “Nothin’ But A Good Time
