  • es lo mejor esta banda!

  • Even drugged up Amy's version is a million times better.

  • the specials es la neta en el ska y aqui en mexico,cuando vinieron la bola de pendejos que no saben nada de musica no lo supieron valorar the especials idea musical a huevo.

  • In my opinion the best Specials song !

  • Rudie till i die

  • my ex used to play this in his bedroom all those years ago memories eh

  • for me, my life started with this band. ska was itt for me..

    I waited 30 years!!!! And now I have tickets for the concert in PARADISO Amsterdam in September 2011!!!! YES. !!!!!!!!!

    I am going to smoke a BIG BIG spliff right infront off the stage..

    and ROLATORR-POGO with my old skinfriends........

  • @itsdandandan Ya really gonna have fun...I envy you :)

  • @itsdandandan I love you, nuff said.

  • @Meowmoomeowful tnx bb. i love u and nuff 2.

  • fair play to those japs , they knew good music.

  • ewetuber...I have to agree with you. You had to be there to believe it. The 80's were amazing

  • The 80's...!! You had to be there to believe it..!

  • @EWETUBER2 YES Ska AND the "EARLY 80's" were GREAT!!!!!!!! But the rest of the 80's were CRAP!!!!!! Most so called Pop Music after 83' was pretty bad.....I think 76' - 82' was a great era in music......Punk (Real Punk) , Ska , Mod revival , New Wave.... it was an exciting period in music.....BUT then Synths , Hair n makeup , spandex n all that bollocks took over.....Shame really.

  • @theselector i wouldnt say the REST of the 80s. look at the minutemen, firehose, pixies, dinosaur jr, replacements, husker du, black flag, all the original SST bands

  • @phishman706 I was talking mainly Pop music , those bands you mentioned were not mainstream in the 80's. They were either alternative , indie or underground whereas The Specials were a successful Pop band that had substantial mainstream chart success. As a matter of fact it was rumoured that Mick Jagger was going to sign them up to his own label as he thought ska was going to be the "NEXT BIG THING!!!". Unfortunately it was not to be and eventually the Hair & Spandex bands took over.

  • @theselector "whereas The Specials were a successful Pop band"

    what?

  • @sclapione Of course , they had several Top 10 hits in the UK , Europe and Australia. "Ghost Town" went No 1. Toured everywhere successfully.....even Japan as u can see and were a massive influence on many bands and musicians everywhere. They could've been more successful in America but that country just wasn't prepared for them back in 1980.......still listening to The Eagles and Boston LOL

  • Mr Hall, My ultimate fantasy when I was 16, nothings changed,

  • Toot n Ska men will be the next best SKA Ting! You can´t beat a bit of SKA!

  • esto es lo mejor el ska es una marabilla

  • Ahhhh I listen to this song all the time.

  • hi little rich girl im rich also. Just a correction on the historical bias.

    love mom

  • Proper tune

  • I was a teen in this era and I LOVED the Specials! I was dating this really rich girl who had ALL sorts of issues and this song was just another one they did that just clicked! lol, thanks for the post!

  • @verbusen where is she now? issues abt going to school in the Bentley or in the Merkxs?

  • @PoireauMan68 She got a brand new RX7 when we dated in 1981 she was going to Northwestern college. That was 30 years ago so my best guesses would be now on a commune in Israel, or San Fransisco with Code Pink, or in New York City as a ACLU activist lawyer. Probably also a lesbian, lol. When we broke up she had all my records including my Specials records, when I got them back they were all trashed, lol. I think Sam Kennison does a bit about his ex doing that to his records also, cracked me up.

  • greatest live band ever!!

  • yo this vid is available to rip on that site mp4ify as mp3 or mp4 files - lookup on any search engine mp4ify

  • RT: yep you can rip this clip into an mp3 or mp4 on that site mp4ify. google mp4ify! killer!

  • @teacake33 you must be kidding where have you been?

  • flat out good!!!

  • One of my favorites, my friends and I listened to it a lot in high school.

  • Comment removed

  • Agreed!!

  • Pięknie,pięknie.Niezła impreza była.Nie znałem tego nagrania.Chyba nigdy nie ukazało się na winylu?

  • Gona see them sunday , cant wait !!!

  • me too

  • this is a party

  • still sounds fresh after 30 years ! i love this band

  • After all these years.. this is still a gem. Fantastic

  • What a brilliant bass player, Ive learnt alot from him

  • What Amy Winhouse did to Specials songs is awful

  • I agree totally. The stress!

  • @munk237 what she'd doing to her liver is horrible too...

  • Good one!

  • Stop hatin' Hater. Or go drink some hater-ade.

  • Hater-aid. Niice one :)

  • I think Amy Winehouse and her band did this cover justice. I classic like this has to be correct !!

  • wrong

  • Justice? They bloody killed it, that's what! Hardly any covers sound as good as the original, and this is no different. You an disagree, but there is no point, you can't change my mind.

  • seriously, i had no idea that there were those awful winehouse covers of some of these classics.

    good lord she sucks at these songs.

  • Im 13 and i like the specials

  • i am 14 and i like it too :D

  • Me too! I love them (:

  • the specials rule!!!

  • Fuckin Good Man!!!

  • Is everybody happy!

  • yeah!

  • cant even fathom people even liking amy's bullshit voice she had a deeper voice then terry hall terry hall is the only way to listen to the specials

  • damn! they look like they where having alot fun....

  • I love the Specials.

    But I also love Amy.

    She's full of talent.

    I hate nostalgic whores. This is a classic, ok? So?

    I adoooore both versions. (L)

  • Is everybody happy? Coool.  Terry strikes again!

  • What a fuckin great guitarist, you Roddy

  • LMAO @ AMY IS PERFECT

  • I can't even laugh at that, its just fucking terrible.

  • fuck off bigblackrod u prick the specials are legends

  • temón este

    hey puta millonaria (8)

  • the specials. what they did was so relevant and still is. every concert was a stomper! didnt know they were on tour at all so completely missed out.

  • terry halls voice isn't amazing, infact he speaks more than sings, but the specials version IS a classic, it so british! But amy's is cross between reguae and jazz, the two are completely different! im a fan of both, so go on judge me because of what music i like and whate ever i don't care, i have my own opinion and you have yours

  • Terry's vocal style was one of the defining punk characteristics of The Specials! He actually sings properly today and has done so since he left the band really.

  • reggae and jazz are NOT completely different. Reggae is ska's predecessor. Ska is descended from jazz, calypso, african music, and 50's r&b. It was just all blended together.

  • noooope!

    ska is reggae's predecessor :)

  • Comment removed

  • please don't even compare amy crackhouse's version with this classic

  • @completecontrol77 Her version is actually good. Piece of shit.

  • @dearestjen Just because she just died doesn't mean you need to lie to yourself or pretend to care. (protip: he posted that comment 2 years ago, back when it wasn't offensive)

  • @dearestjen make your mind up

  • i knew a rich girl once..........amy winehouse ring a bell? lol you goin down amy

  • baggy trousers. wtf? teenie

  • Brilliant vid! Never listened to Amy's version (don't even know who she is!) but saw this band do a great version for a bunch of middle-aged blokes:

    watch?v=mrNWateyF5U

  • - ok, just searched and I have heard of Amy W, my iPod doesn't generally go much beyond 1981

  • amy is a pampered media whore. she IS the little rich girl. thats why the song was CHOSEN for her by her TEAM. she tries to portray black soul and jazz, but relies on max clifford style publicity. she should bugger off back to daddy's house with her worn out chicago dvd

  • Great post. Amy's version is shite. I loathe her. Her junkie "schtick" is old and tired.

    This video with the Specials is the best. Terry and the band are great.

  • specials are true and the best !!!!

    amy is a cover-good but not better.

    i found

  • People think i'm start just because i talk in a robot voice.

  • What a time it must have been seeing this band live. Incredible

  • sounds like my town haha

  • The Specials played ska, but they were heavily influenced by punk. This is not a pop song, and Terry's voice is perfect for it.

  • everybody la SKA

  • You gotta love fucking trolls....This is probably the only reason I dislike youtube.

  • i'll tell you only fuck yourself idiot,

    i won't lower to you level,

    just tell me how much snow your mother eaten, to born billow like you??

  • i said that because i didn't know they wrote it,

    and i don't care what you say,
