The English Beat - Twist And Crawl

[tizzabelle926]

I grew up in the early 80's with the Specials , Bad Manners , The Selecter, Madness and The Beat , I never knew them as The English Beat until I moved to the States , They just played here (Reno NV) last week .\

[gazzacroy]

brill song thanks :)



[bluestate69]

this is a great song. however, i just came here to look at the comments, and see how long it would take until i saw the word "beiber". can everyone just get over it!! i think some of the best music came out of england in the late 70's early 80's, but that doesn't mean there wasn't shite out there. when the who and the stones were at their peak, there were also the osmonds, david cassidy, and shaun cassidy!! the reality is, is that beiber doesn't represent the music scene in its entirety.

[SHErocks1929]

Fucking brilliant!! :))))))))))))))))))

[lastoftheAZNGIRLS]

Favorite song by them :)

[kallbrand01]

I heard this song in a Levis shop in Florida a couple of years ago. I was damn lucky to discover it. :D

[classof77]

The bass line is IMMENSE.

Dance beat that is human(e) but still cuts deep.

[247therapy]

The beat - A real treat ! Ska rules ! very theraputic !

[stig99914]

[sabalouie2000]

[zombiefuckification]

i heard this in a 50 cent movie and was like 'fuck yeah, death in vegas!' not so much. this rock just as much, though.

[skahead63]

nearly gave myself a heart attack dancing to this . 12 inch dub version is a killer. miss the old skinhead days

[padster67]

[nicrat]

[LadyAstridd]

When I was little my mom always listened to this song, and me and my brother used to think it was called "juicy frog".

[DogmeUK]

@LadyAstridd Hahahaha :D

[evlgenius09]

This band is like coming home again.

[4piscesp]

[ThirdWaveSkaPunk]

[negerben]

It's a blinding shame this band doesn't excist anymore. -T-

[ThirdWaveSkaPunk]

@negerben they got back together in 2006. last year they did a tour in u.s. with reel big fish

[negerben]

Fuck me! The tune's still going strong.

[Georgettek99]

Fuck me ... I'm young again

[notntusay]

[techxdabruiser]

Just outta high school when it came out !! Drummer Everett Morton was the "King of the Rimshot " ! The Beat still don't get the props they deserve . Missed their last show in Dallas......damn.

[MehefinHeulog]

ska-tastic

[jahfish42]

one of my favourite Beat tracks. Takes me back to when I got the album way back when it came out. But today the mixing on this still sounds brilliant!

[sengrupcina]

this is the greatest

[bumpyjason]

fuckin blinding tune

[bolloxinator]

@bumpyjason Aye!

[DoctorAutopsy]

I went and saw them with Reel Big Fish at the MN Zoo not that long ago. Great concert!

[stueey68]

I love the Beat original most of all without question but I thought the Death In Vegas was pretty cool.

[BTTFreak]

I prefer the Death in Vegas version, but this is still good

[Skimllfixit]

"Death in Vegas"?! So, you prefer some cobbled-together bullshit to the real deal? You don't deserve to pass comment on The Beat, you useless prick...

[BTTFreak]

Ok :) I never said that I didn't like this version, but personally I do prefer 'some cobbled-together bullshit' version as you put it. What are you going to do about it?

[BTTFreak]

@Skimllfixit

Also I don't believe you could get so riled up about me stating my own musical opinion...

[zoranest]

@BTTFreak u suck

[Skimllfixit]

Right on...

[BTTFreak]

What do I suck?

[danw1374]

what great band and great music wish couldve been old enough to enjoy the ska scene at the time alas was too young!!

[Marqeteer]

Is there any band more fun than The Beat?! They're a celebration of life and just a brilliant band!

[lyonslaforet]

@Marqeteer Oh yes! Much better than other renowed "ska" bands like the Specials!

[Raiown]

These guys were awesome on sunday when the headlined Reel Big Fish!

[sh1tstorm08]

They're so fun live

[mashup30]
