Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.

In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

hey man I am thinking about going to that, but where the hell is Girraween?!

Ska is cool. Skanking fun but yes it is very retarded but it's still fucken fun. Ska is pretty much punk with a brass section. Punk is definitely a lot harder to define! I saw area 7 a while ago. They went off

 

[del]

yeah, Reel Big Fish are cool...

The Hippos are too. but they sound kinda poppy

 

[spleen]

When the song 'Wasting My Life" came out I used to have it looped for hours! I lub the Hippos.

 

[Agnes2810]

the band LESS THAN JAKE goes off!! i love em!! ther old skool ska!! hehe

And no, ska is not punk with brass. Ska is Punk-Pop crossed with Reggae, basically it has brass instruments, guitars, bass, drums, boards and vocals.

Punk is sort of a homogeneris label. Most bands calling themselves punk these days are punk-pop or power-pop (Good Charlotte etc.), there are some hardcore bands, and many other styles. However, Punk is more a movement, a fight against repression. It reflects an ideology that is no longer really relevant in todays society. Thus I don't think you can use the word Punk for anything more than a homogeneris label.

Area 7 played No Logic... I think their new shit such as nobody likes a bogan is not all that good. yep punk is jsut a label..... or a movement that is quite confused
