This day is not July 1st.
Numbers is part of the old testament, before the calendar counting the days since Christ. It's referring to the Jewish calendar instead.
In Judaism, the year starts on Rosh Hashanah, which usually occurs around mid-September. The first day of the 7th month would be somewhere in March.
Still doesn't seem like Easter.
It's not just ska, I'm a firm believer that a horn section makes any song better.
Rap example:

This is a super meh format for the meme but it's the same text so you get the idea
Sounds like something we should pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!
No regular work. Sounds great
It's the perfect day to bid people welcome to (god's) tragic kingdom!
Anybody else got Reel Big Fish bouncing around their head right now?
I had to look it up. It's referring to Rosh Hashanah. It's based on the Jewish Calendar.
This tracks because the only good modern Christian band I can think of is Five Iron Frenzy
Looks like Canadians are the true followers of Christ.
Context
July 1st is Canada Day, which is a national holiday. It’s Canada’s version of July 4th.
So TMBG seems to have a permanent horn section. Are they ska now?
Wouldn't it technically be the first of September? The actual 7th month?
Don't you know they only refer to the Old Testament when they want to justify heinous shit?
Mandatory white towelling socks and porkpie hats day.
