Skaboy JFK
Skaboy JFK: The Skankin' Hits of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies is the second compilation album and seventh album overall by American ska-swing band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, released in September 2009 on Rock Ridge Music.
In a similar vein to the Daddies' 1997 swing compilation Zoot Suit Riot, Skaboy JFK is a collection of the band's ska material, compiling all of the ska and ska punk tracks from their first five studio albums along with four newly recorded bonus tracks.
Overview
Skaboy JFK is a compilation of the ska and ska-influenced songs featured on the Daddies' previous studio albums, spanning from 1994's Rapid City Muscle Car to 2008's Susquehanna, excluding only the band's 1990 debut Ferociously Stoned. The songs on the compilation cover a broad range of styles of ska music, including traditional Jamaican-influenced ska, reggae, third wave ska and ska punk.
As the Daddies' former label Jive Records own the master recordings of the band's late 1990s work, three songs - "Soul Cadillac" and "End of the Night" from 2000's Soul Caddy and "2:29" from 1997's Vacationing in Palm Springs - were fully re-recorded for inclusion on this compilation. Notably, "2:29" was re-recorded and re-arranged from a fast ska punk style to a mellower reggae tempo.

by: Cherry Poppin' DaddiesStep right up for the great pie fight
I do the jiggle with a funny face
A Charlie Chaplin messiah
I'll break into the safe
and light a bonfire
Well if I dotted to dot my feelin's
Now wouldn't that make you feel good
But I prefer my mystery to your bullshit anal world
I'm jumpin' out of my skin
Cuz thats the mood that I'm in
Stevie's got the atmosphere thats gonna bounce you outta the herd baby
Cuz theres only one way
And I don't want you to pay
Let the charming phosphorescent song light your miserable way
Savoir fare is everywhere
Gimme Slapstick
Apples, Peaches, I love Punkin' Pears
Gimme Slapstick
So stick your hands up little babies
Your in the cakewalk part of your life
Everything is uphill from here
But your starin' up at the big knife
They're gonna bore your ass to pieces
and stick the grip tape to your bones
You'll remember all the fun you had
But realize it was just a loan... Still
I'm jumping out of my skin
Cuz thats the mood that I'm in
Stevie's got the atmosphere I'm gonna bounce you outta the herd baby
And theres only one way
And I don't want you to pay
Let the charming phosphorescent song light your miserable way
Savoir fare is everywhere

I want to get it I wanna get it I wanna get it up
I wanna make you slap your knee... Understand me... Call out for tech
support...
Thumb your nose at the tortured times... come on baby... Huh
You'll realize that you lost something
When you lose this fantasy world
And the nine to five'n baby thought police
Get you marchin' on to the dirge
They're cobblin' up those Frankensteiny boots for you to wear
You will find it baby hard to move when they stiffin' up your big hair
I'm jumping out of my skin
Cuz thats the mood that I'm in
Stevie's got the atmosphere I'm gonna bounce you outta the herd baby
And theres only one way
And I don't want you to pay
Let the charming phosphorescent song light your miserable way
Savoir fare is everywhere
