[AWayOfLifeOiOiOi]

[91mozz]

I got a chance to hang out with Paul Black after she played Ska parade in Riverside she has to be one of the chillest peeps out there. Getting to party with made me love this band so much more. Fucking amazing music!

[RUDIE110]

2:23!!!

[mithraicmage]

Yes they are still touring and they play Gateshead's Sage tonight at 8pm. Got 2 tickets lol

[TheAmig2000]

That girl has energy. is she still touring with black on black

[murrayzz1]

@hoodsmon - no wonder there was missing words - probably ran out of 2p pieces :))

[lupo0144]

The greatest thing about Ska and Two Tone is the people like us! I'm 41 and I have a apprentice with me in work and his life has been transformed by my massive collection of awesome Two Tone music on the I Phone that I play through the stereo in the van.........He's like a kid in a sweet shop! lol

[mithraicmage]

@lupo0144 My 11 yr old son is exactly the same with 2Tone, especially The Specials and Selecter

[drawlbag]

She hot. Why did Madness get 20 of the best ever music videos and The Beat, Specials, Bad Manners, Selecter only produce half-assed home-vidz. Have you ever watched Bad Manner's Walking In The Sunshine???? Cheers Stiff Records.

[okcomputer1016]

I love it, especially "We've got a problem baby"

[sg238]

BOSINGWAAA! BOSINGWAA! 

[RickstaRIIx]

Ska music played on the radio abye gone error

Still i lived it and still enjoy the live scene today

The selecter are still a great band

and you do have to respec the fact that the band have remained true to ska,bluebeat,rocksteady

[thegemini1]

she still looks well fit these days

[isabellebird40]

ey I'm beautiful, attractive, sensual and artistic!

[hoodsmon]

Thats how we used to communicate in the late 70's and early 80's.red phone boxes or you walked round to their house

[martinclk]

England forever

[anthonycbbn]

@dcrasta would still do it now mate lol

[jonnyy40]

Don't think I've heard this since it was originally released. Very good sound.

[verbusen]

Saw them in NYC (guessing 1979 maybe 1980 age 16) at a small venue around 42nd street. A nerd friend got the tickets, I had never heard them before, that was a great concert! I was at the stage looking up at Pauline rock out. Got to love chicks who can dance and rock! Too bad they didn't stay around long at the time. I doubt I'd like them now that they are old and I want to keep those youth memories alive. BTW great video at a time when most bands made crap vidoes! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[katoness]

The rudest and toughest rude girl ever.

[Hejigon]

How fit is pauline !



[PureSkimf]

More kids these days should think like ricky..

why dont you get great music like this anymore, and great bands, glad I was a teen when all this was happening, nowadays its all Simon Cowell acts and boybands, perhaps the late 70s/80s were the last era for proper music.

[MillaBoy1991]

[bashb1990]

Gotta love her dancing :)

[wendy050766]

[boblofrank13]

@Leahrixxy Me and my friends all listen to ska and eighties, and were all 14. All the other kids listen to crap and are total idiots. So here were adults. lol

[peterandrewsinclair]

I have had this on the car for the past two weeks! great in the sunshine with the windows down,

yours truly, a child of the eighties!!

[EssexBoy696969]

Great comment Leah - and it's refreshing to see someone so young appreciates decent music and isn't allowing themselves to become brainwashed by the media into believing dross such as JLS, Bieber, etc. are muscially talented.

[mudfries]

saw them live and they were fucking fantastic, they had the place jumping. pauline sighned a flyer for me and i still have it, what a warm and decent human being she is.

[andy191266]

you are right to look up to pauline she is very very bright and did fabulously and was much admired across the board in a time where men were still largely in power. as weel great voice great band.

[forestgumpaed]

simply class and what a great album too.

[JP1971Hammer]

great tune back in the day, still listen to at least a couple times every week

[RenegadeBoater]

their best song by far!!!

[crasschris1]

Rude girl for real.

[gutworm]

bass player looks alot like bob marley....and he is going MAD!

[MaximusGermanicus]

i had a girl, years ago

she was my first girlfriend, my first sex with her

that was our song

i like it very much

missing words...

[mathias64ful]

love this song too! Brings back so much memories.....

[barnowl01292]

An absolute classic!

Love this song.

[Numaness]

Luvz it!

[poodlegal70]

this song comes from an era when music WAS music...great song....

[potatoehead64]

I had the great privilege of meeting Pauline Black last year, being a support band where she was playing. Really down to earth and friendly lady who commented on how cool my beard is!

[Turbomatz]

This song never gets old!!!!

Amazing!!

[SKANDPUNKS]

WoW pauline should slice her throath, SHE SING SO FUCKING BAD GO SUICIDE HOE

[j0bzz]

@SKANDPUNKS TROOOOOOOOOOOOLOLOLOLOL! i bet you get a bite!

[fishbone3333]

Is it just me, or can you totally tell that Pauline Black influenced Fishbone's Angelo Moore in style, both in appearance, performance and even volcalization.

[TheAndyboy66]

great song.they were up there with the best of them.

[ningahasabestfreind]

good song

[kdw712]

[zochovsky]

I cannot wait to see The Selecter alongside Ska Cubano live on the 15th January in London!!

[Leahrixxy]

I absolutely love Pauline Black, she is one of the people i look up to in the music world, i'm 14 but i cannot stand bands today and singers which are so over-rated like Justin Bieber, he isn't worth the time, unlike bands such as these, absolutely amazing song.

[missdoodahday]

@Leahrixxy - girl keep it up! this is real music! check out my band King Sugar on FB, Pauline is one of my biggest influences. hope you like it.

[caseyliveknight]

@Leahrixxy there are some amazing bands today. there just a bit harder to find.

[yam500]

@Leahrixxy It was a great time for music & style

[TheAffco]

@Leahrixxy Yeah! 14 year-olds who look up to Pauline but can't stand that Justin thing! :D

[bonzerbrother]

@Leahrixxy smart kid, It's good to see all artists these days are just copies of these and they've haven't invented anything new

[JA2NJ]

@Leahrixxy you are 14, you still a kid, kiddo lol

[CCkonj]

@Leahrixxy

that is nice to hear that you like good music but you don't have to indicate that your 14 years old. many of us are young and we still listen to good music.

[midsaint776]

nice one , i'm 47 and hate the music of today , it's just absolutely rubbish . i was 16 when bands like the selecter , the specials , the beat , ub40 , bad manners , madness came in to the charts.  i used to rush in to woolworths and buy em soon as they came into the charts . i think it cost somethin like 30p for a single and 50p for an album . as in them days ( late 1970s ) we never had cds . it was audio cassette or vinyl record . good times!

[1945MrHitler]

@midsaint776 Same here, im 46, so many memories, good time good music

[1945MrHitler]

@midsaint776 Same here, im 46, so many memories, good times, good music.

[bigadda1969]

@Leahrixxy great comments friend and in my day this was the schizznit as good as music can get " peace "

[AmyyAbsynthe]

@Leahrixxy Agreed! :) Nicely said!

[jpaulr56]

@Leahrixxy The Selecter was a great band. So were the Englsh Beat.

[cov182004]

@jpaulr56 THE BEAT

[YOUPUBEISGAY]

@Leahrixxy I'm only 3 years old. Big deal. Btw not everyone listens to Justin Bieber. Stop trying to win brownie points.

[Leahrixxy]

@YOUPUBEISGAY Yeee, i am now almost a year older and regret writing that comment..

[dennisama]

@Leahrixxy

Totally.

[kennyenergy]

[luluc1]

[pigofthehouse]

The Selecter is my favorite british ska band other than the Specials. But this is the first time I've seen the lead singer. Is it a girl?

[Polycsis]

@pigofthehouse OK but And the Madness??

[babystrange]

TY for posting this.Big one when in high school.

[MadnotMad79]

[kingska64]

[TruthIrish]

I remember the Mods in school playing this at lunchbreak on a tape recorder . Next day I had my hair cut, bought a parka and joined them! Happy memories....

[footinmouth69]

Omfg the memories this brings back... Thank you Selecter. I wish I could hug you all.

[DaddyOPunk]

I dumped my best girlfriend ever while listening to this song. It was a really crappy decision in hindsight, and I blame this freakin' song! But I love it! Ah, love...

[welshexile1963]

[lakai958]

[thfcyidz]

Classic

[jocer12ify]

Pauline Black has a beautiful voice.

[kerjan1]

[illhaveadouble]

No wonder I was so slim in those days - all that jumping about to quality tunes like this!

[HardcoreJungFunk]

quality tune! still sounds great , great band - punky ska love it!

[entersilenthill]

@HardcoreJungFunk not punky ska at all mate.

[HardcoreJungFunk]

@entersilenthill What would you call it then? It aint the original ska sound from last 50s and early 60s and its only a few years afer Punk. Whatever, its great music!

Specials and Selector were the best at this kind of sound -love some of their live stuff on the "dance craze" 2tone film

[SuperKnobrot]

i think im like the only 17 yr old mod i dont know any one who listens to this

[trickdrummer666]

@SuperKnobrot I feel your pain brother

[concretebabybaby]

underated and overlooked genre. Took no doubt to get it mainstream some 2o years later

[SimplyShadow]

uruguay.

[AnnoyingTypoSyndrome]

YES man - back to the old days - I grew up on all of this stuff - thanks SO much !

Ive got half of your channel on 7 inch and 12 inch - thanks mate !!

[ZLUGGO]

Pissing girls, pissing girls...

[mrjiveyjr]

Really and truly, one of the best songs of the 1980s.

[wolvesboy66]

I saw Pauline last year in Brisbane. She looks better now than then and she rocked!

[nicgav94]

[iandarlow]

For the twins (C&C) as this reminds me of you two when we were younger

[sallyfieldrequired]
