This one is finally closed.
I'm pretty busy today, so I'm hoping to be able to do #41-50 of reveals tomorrow at some point.

Thank you a million times to the nine of you who sent in a list for this rankdown. I know ska is definitely not a popular genre of music on Pulse by any means and this was a very hard rankdown to complete. I doubt anyone knew every song on this list.
I grew up with most of these bands from the third-wave of ska, but honestly have not listened to most of them in many years. It was fun reminiscing and getting back into some of them again. Ska can be a very enjoyable genre if you’re in the mood for it. I hope you had as much fun as I did creating your lists.
With that word wall of text, let’s get to #50. Every single one of us ranked this one in our Bottom 5 and six of you dead last. You probably know what it is already. Get this. It finished 125 points below #49! Obviously, it never left the bottom spot overall.
Top 5's: 0 Top 10's: 0 Top halves: 0 Bottom halves: 10 Bottom 10's: 10 Bottom 5's: 10
Highest Rank: 46 Lowest Rank: 50 Perfect Rankings: 6 SD Rank: 1st lowest / 50th highest Movements: 50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50

I’ve never seen a song with such a massive dropoff before. Again, this is one hundred and twenty-five points lower than #49. I’m listening to this song as I write this reveal and my 4 year-old son is currently dancing like crazy to it. That tells you everything that you need to know. I… probably should have chosen another song from Mephiskapheles, but this was their most played song on Spotify.
Ok… the song is over. I can gladly say that I will never be returning to it again haha. If this gets stuck in my head for the rest of today, I’m going to massively kick my own ass.

As I mentioned earlier, this is 125 points above The Bumble Bee Song, so you can basically say that this earned the final spot in relation to the rest of the rankdown.
Someone does lose a top half rank, but I doubt that this reveal will upset anyone.

No love for the Hoosiers as MU330 goes out at #48.
I remember that I went to a camp in the summer of 1998 and this kid let me listen to one of their albums on his portable CD player (those used to be a thing). I pretty much forgot about them since then.

Luck isn’t shining on Big D and the Kids Table today as they exit at #46.
This song was played on some Alt stations back in the day and I remember downloading it to a mix CD, so it has nostalgia for me being a fun song that you can’t take seriously. I enjoy the band’s other material too that I’ve checked out. I guess most didn’t feel the same.

As I started listening to this song when writing the preview, I couldn’t help but crack the hell up at the “ha ha ha ha ha!” I didn’t care for this song at all, but can find the humor and fun in it.

Guess I would've been the only person not tanking "The Bumble Bee Tuna Song". Too much fun to hate. It did go on a little too long though.

The Aquabats are easily one of the most fun artists that you will ever see live. I saw them open for Reel Big Fish many years ago and still remember their performance very well. It’s like you go back to your childhood no matter how old you are. All of their music is superhero-themed and they even have had a web series and TV show in the past.
Anyway, they’ve broken away from ska in recent years and I wouldn’t call this close to their better songs. However, it’s what was their most popular according to Spotify. Perhaps, it wasn’t so “Super Rad…”

After the Battle of #44, we go up three points to #43.
The numbers here are interesting as no one ranked this in their top half. However, eight of the ten of us ranked this in their Top 40.

Empty your glasses (“Vasos Vacios” means empty glasses in Spanish), Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. It’s time to scoot on out of here.
While I listen to this song again as I write the reveal, I really do feel bad putting it in my Bottom 10. I thoroughly enjoy its overall relaxing mood. Since I only know a small amount of Spanish, I didn’t entirely know what they were saying.

I "hope" to have 31-40 revealed sometime tomorrow. This is it for the night (or day depending on where you are).
Finishing out the Bottom 10, we move nine points up to #41. This one is good for a few of you as three of you put this one in your Bottom 5, but… it sucks for two of you that ranked this in your Top 10. One of those is a Top 5.

I can totally see why two of you ranked this as one of your top rankings. This song is a jam if you’re in the mood for it.
However, it’s over for The Skatalites. Time to get your funkey funkey reggay outta here!

The only reason why the Bumblebee Tuna song isn't last is because I actually finished it. The Skatilites I couldn't finish, that's why it's #50. No disrespect but something about the song just irritated me too much.
