[JustSomePerson888]

the one the Father Ted DJ wishes he had a copy of

[drummiedan]

Hail Papa Rico!

[mickcollins069]

Never has a song has had more relevence than this one has Today

[bhudster10]

'halloween?',' youth of no cares, and the sky's the limit?' It's a song about un

employment and the desolation of a city!

Shallow, half witted twats

[STUKAY]

What a brilliant song! History repeating itself though. ConDem tory government. Royal wedding coming up. Cuts, cuts and more cuts. Mass unemployment and youth being put on the shelf. Didn't we learn the first time? Let's hope so.

[pow1983]

@STUKAY one thing to learn about history is that we never learn from history :-)

[seedaripper2010]

@STUKAY

I absolutely agree mate, i grew up in the Thatcher years (please die already, you cunting witch) and i cant believe people forgot that the Tories are absolute fucking wankers, the Lib Dems have now lost all credability, and this coalition is going to ruin the country, granted Labour made mistakes...but at least i trusted them somewhat...ah well, the only good thing the Thatcher years did, was to produce good music,about disaffected youth. Fucking thick as fuck british public.

[Mancunian1001]

The Greatest UK Chart Number One Single Ever. Poignant for the time (under T§¶∞©˙é®), and even more so today with the ConDems 'putting youth on the shelf'.

[cesar5003]

[owenbb505]

I always thought this song was great to listen to around Halloween. I keep thinking about a literal ghost town unoccupied on a cold overcast day. Night's about to fall and a very windy storm about to move in. And some lonely guy standing on the roof of a tall office building...surreal, very atmospheric song

[BuzbyWuzby]

I could listen to the bass, drums, organs and flute on this song forever. I think the trombone would have benefited from being placed further back from the microphone and possibly a slight echo effect added.

[glendeco]

Man! This always seems to take me back in my youth to the days of no cares, and the sky was the limit.

[guitarpilot1]

Trombone always reminds me of the band member who shows up late and "slopy drunk" to the gig, and, barely pulls it off in the most edgy and pleasant way. If the t-bone player is good, you feel slightly defiled by his lack of discretion.

[guitarpilot1]

I love listening to the trombone solo when I am baked out of my mind.

[DRUGGANAUTDUBSTEP]

@guitarpilot1 Yeaah Man! xD

[rage47649]

@guitarpilot1 Its a fucking trumpet. But I totally agree.

[drummiedan]

@rage47649 It's not a trumpet it is a Flugel Horn actually, played by Dick Cuthell...

[drummiedan]

@drummiedan Rico plays trombone, Dick plays Flugel Horn...both superbly I might add...

[DisturbedRetards]

@guitarpilot1 OHHHMG i know what you mean, i feel baked even when i aint been smokin jus lisnin to it

[littlevern11]

This is my favourite song and my favourite version. Rico Rodriguez' solo is truly memorable. Incedentally, any fans of the specials should read Ska'd for life by Stephen (Horace) Pantar. Awesome groove; my familly have already been told to play it at my funeral and skank (dance) themselves stupid as I will be in heaven already.
