This music genre is called "ska".

Whoa, I remember The Beat as a ska band that performed (political) songs like Stand Down Margret - this pop stuff is scary ha

Are you not familiar with Bob Marley? He's one of the most political 'pop stars' that ever lived. His race and religion are prominent parts of his music - and I believe both are political forces?

Plus, Jamming's lyrics:

Ooh, yeah! all right!
Were jammin:
I wanna jam it wid you.
Were jammin, jammin,
And I hope you like jammin, too.

Aint no rules, aint no vow, we can do it anyhow:
Ini will see you through,
cos everyday we pay the price with a little sacrifice,
Jammin till the jam is through.

Were jammin -
To think that jammin was a thing of the past;
Were jammin,
And I hope this jam is gonna last.

No bullet can stop us now, we neither beg nor we wont bow;
Neither can be bought nor sold.
We all defend the right; jah - jah children must unite:
Your life is worth much more than gold.

Were jammin (jammin, jammin, jammin)
And were jammin in the name of the lord;
Were jammin (jammin, jammin, jammin),
Were jammin right straight from yah.

Yeh! holy mount zion;
Holy mount zion:
Jah sitteth in mount zion
And rules all creation.

Yeah, were - were jammin (wotcha-wa),
Wotcha-wa-wa-wa, were jammin (wotcha-wa),
See, I wanna jam it wid you
Were jammin (jammin, jammin, jammin)
Im jammed: I hope youre jammin, too.

Jams about my pride and truth I cannot hide
To keep you satisfied.
True love that now exist is the love I cant resist,
So jam by my side...

"the S-K-A group"?

Uhh, that wouldn't be ska would it?

A comedic, cool animation - and created by a fellow Ben? Gotta' get my vote for any of those factors!

I don't understand why its got Ska in the tags though...

Always room in the queue for more of The Young Ones! Great submission: nice combination of classic comedy, ska and 80s UK culture.

Both sing ska music in a exceedingly cute way?

I wholeheartedly agree with you that Lily Allen's debut is an essential summer soundtrack while Gwen's latest stab at Japanopop is not.

No, her nose doesn't really look like that.

Light pop-ska by this year's pop chick. I like her a lot.

(The NSFW language is one use of the word "fucking" in an English accent in the first verse. Odds are your non-Brit co-workers wouldn't notice it, but I thought it fair enough to warn you.)
