Dick Clark: Johnny, I need to know about ska.

Johnny: I wouldn't know anything about it.

(Hands over $20.00)

Johnny: Nothing but an offshoot of reggae with an updated white rock influence. Definitely upbeat but will never become popular because even though they made the back beat more conventional, it's still too exotic for mass acceptance.

I'll tell Bob Marley you said that.

Wait, no I won't. He's dead.

That was ridiculous, since ska predated reggae.
