Yes, liking this idea…
If the urge remains tomorrow I will take a swing at it. I’m not a ska expert by a very, very long shot though. I’d probably much rather curate a playlist of Jamaican covers from different genres and that could go here.
It would be better to take a bit more time to think about this….

I think might like the Ramones’ version of “Do You Wanna Dance?” better than the Beach Boys’.

Both are good. The Beach Boys version was itself a cover of Bobby Freeman.

Thanks! I had an inkling I should have checked that because for years I thought “I Can Hear Music” was a Beach Boys original. I prefer their version to the Ronettes’ - it’s cornier but the harmony is prettier imo.
