Umm.. no Reel Big Fish is neither a punk band or a punk ska band (if there is a such thing..) Awesome song though, by an even more amazing band.

This is exactly how I feel with a girl I'm in love with. Maybe not exactly as I woudn't kill the other guy but seriously, nice to find a song that sympathizes (sp?) with my current situation. Now if only I could tell her.....
