@shboom88 was i was 10 or 11 my step dad made a tape with this, i am the fly, totally wired, making plans for nigel and message to roody on it, all my memories of holidays have that soundtrack. great band.
this hasnt been sped up, its at around 72bpm which is correct, but there has been some skitty drum rolls and skitz added which create the illusion of being sped up. the production of this version makes me seriously question the authenticity of it. i think wool is trying to be pulled here.....
The Beat, always overlooked when people talk about 79-80 ska, caught between matey jokey Madness and uber-serious Specials. BUt The Beat were arguably more innovative and better songwriters than either of the above. Class act. Don't like this mix though.

If I still danced to this song I would be 20lbs lighter. I really think it was this fast. Have the cd/tape in my car play to the kids they love it.

It's too fast and too high in scale. This has been remixed.

Thank you for posting this.
Is this a promo from MTV..such a sped up version...different.
The Beat were my all time favorite nothing compared to them.
I love this band in its original form..songs not about drugs though.
