We have this music box for our 1yo and there are a lot kid songs in different pop music styles and she loved "the one with the trumpets". I never really was into ska so I'm asking the collective for the best ska songs they know so I can surprise her with a playlist.

edit: sorry its been hectic and I couldn't get to this "project", thank you all so much for your suggestions!

"When they come for me i'll be sitting at my desk with a gun in my hand and a bulletproof vest singing my, my ,my how to the time does fly when you know you're gonna die by the end of the night. say hay."

Has been living in my brain since they were Catch 22. https://youtu.be/EVdXsA_2OXI

Fuck yeh man. I prefer the catch 22 version of this album because it sounds more raw less polished but that bit better for it in my opinion.

I was going to mention that in my original post but OP wanted ska to get into it. :D

Related is the bandits of the acoustic revolution

Yeah, I used to love Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution : A Call to Arms when I was a teenager.

Seconded-also my favorite is "a moment of silence"

I find the chorus really relatable though so maybe I'm biased.
