Fun Fact of the Week #214

In Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated's "Dance of the Undead," a zombie ska band called Rude Boy and the Ska-Tastics haunts Crystal Cove. The band's lead singer, Rude Boy, is actually a subtle reference to Jamaican street culture. "Rude boy" was a term for a subculture for people who liked ska music, and also desired to  challenge the status quo and societal norms. As an analogy, the term is essentially the ska equivalent of the socially deviant "punk" subculture emerging from people who like punk rock or alternative music.
