[veteporlosfrutsis]

Awesome song!! What the hell happened? Why don't people make more music like this anymore? :(

[EnterKrooked]

Saw Selector support The Beat in Brighton a few months back and it was the best gig ever.

[oosterhuis1962]

after all these years it s a nice tune and video

[JanetEsq]

12 people need a new radio

[TheAkiraKazuya]

huhuhuhu ..

[Alicekiss9]

OH yesss <3

[jpx08]

Ska NOW more than ever!

[thestraniero]

True, this is a f@#%^ing great song, but are you youngsters all missing their 2nd album, "Cellebrate the Bullet"? It has almost disappeared but is even better than their 1st! Find it... love it...hipska!

[Indiegirl007]

This HAS to be a UK band.

[Curragao]

radio is always on;o)

[hothothoth]

I love you!!!!!!!!

[mikedavidm]

This is awesome, Pauline black is simply georgeous!

[MrTonyskelly]

Great song1

[zochovsky]

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

[Gandalf606]

Simply Gorgeous. Man I miss those ska and bluebeat times ...

[MOONST0MP]

@Gandalf606 Hear hear!!! Pauline Black is fit as fuck!! More Ska!!! We love it!!!

[Curragao]

wowww. The Smiths ( Annie L), the Selecter - Im newborn

[northernsean1]

gotta say that this is awesome , they rocked in the early days and still today ......a class act , true to the ska roots ....

[zoggitman]

British ska I can listen to this all day better than the shit out today

[sylia103]

now this is music! seriously... music has died over the years... i miss this so much

[riserobot]

@sylia103 I really don't agree that music has died (dying). There is just so much of it being pumped out, the fun stuff gets obfuscated. In-fact, as our world becomes increasingly difficult, one of the few things to look forward to are more inspired beats.

[sylia103]

@riserobot i still think it has... music on the charts suck i never listen to it because there isn't even real instruments involved and if the "singer" can't hit a note or are just plain tone death they just say oh yeah we can fix that with voice modulation in the microphone...

[alan2vincent]

This is very good

[Curragao]

still love ya all!



[Declan50]

 30 years later, this song still holds up.And Pauline....wow! I still have a crush on you! You look smashing!!

[Howsoonisnow2009]

2 Tone Ska never gets old

[harderizbetter]

NEW WAVE/SKA BACK IN THE DAY WAY BEFORE DANCEHALL

[michaux6000]

love this videos.

[HOUSEISHOUSE09]

I saw Pauline perform on stage at the Forum Kentish Town Last Month. Still looking Hot, Sassy and Sexier as ever. What a great Ska night!

[Laura12MC]

I really like this song

[robinkatt]

Sweet Sweet Pauline, My secret love sinse 1978.

[rooticalee]

Nowhere near as good as the original. Pauline Black once signed my 'Too Much Pressure' and 'Celebrate the bullet' albums, she was sound.

[skanthology]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

[erasure43]

This is just brilliant, I was there the first time round and loved it then!!!

[caliboybutters]

A great video from the selecter

[barras6977]

vengan a mexico disculpen lo de los pokemones de mierda k los bajaron en la despedida de ska-p(guarros) vuelvan a mexico

[CBRSIXPACK]

Fookin Classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aazzer00]

Damn she's hot

[sallyfieldrequired]

my dad was in the selecter, ever heard hairspray its one of the worst records in history, and she is not a very nice persona and he himself said 'they were all arrogant' I myself have met a few of them, pauline black has even slept in my bedroom

[kagtastic]

@N8trone that's really fuckin funny

[tanith666]

Thats cheered me up big time ;)

[chrisobee1]

Even better than the original, amazing !

[N8trone]

1991?! that would make pauline 37 or 38 in this video! holy crap she looks good, like a young whitney houston before crack

[ethnohouse]

brings back memories listening to SKA and seeing bands on the O.N. Klub in los angeles. SKA music and style one of the best imports from Jamaica and the UK!!!

[cattiguen]

omg cant get enough of this song/video/band....=)  =)

[lukaduke]

she is sooo fiiit <3

[RICKD790]

I can't believe I missed this re-recording. Brilliant and thanks for uploading.

[juann008]

Pauline Black ♥

[skapunkpeace23]

damn these guys are still badass

good song also

[ronhilhorst]

Pauline you are good looking in 1991.

when do we new music from the selecter? The selecter is one of the best bands of the U.K.

[cypyful]

Classic song, cool band, radical chick

[mannism]

It's great to see her without all that attitude. It's a lot more English to just enjoy yourself. Still a babe.

[Curragao]

pls are you still alive? I do hope so! You made my day back at the days and still do:o) Rgds from Finland

[thephranc]

She is still just as stunning today.

[acitonj]

A vast improvement on the original recording in my opinion.. :P

[donquixote2u]

hey thanks for posting this, I hadn't known that they did a later release of the song - and this may even be better than the earlier one.

[stralight321]

Can any musicians out there post or mail me the chord progression of this classic ska song from 58 secs - 1min 17 secs?..The same progression is also from 2min 12secs - 2min 29secs...

I've worked out the rest (D-G-E) ...Can't seem to nail the rest of it!

Cheers,

[ButtsX69]

Do you mean the notes for the part that goes "it's just the same old show" ?

I play B-B-B-Gb-C-C

You can play -2-2-2 on the fifth string, followed by -2- on the sixth string, and end with -3-3- on the fifth string.

And after they say On my radio a couple of times let the low E ring..meaning the sixth string.

I hope that's what you meant...if not ask i could prob figure it out...

[stralight321]

Hi Butts,

Yes it's the part that starts from ''Its the same old show'' etc..

It all goes so quick I can't make out if they are the right chords..Does sound kind of right..Not sure!

If you can work them out,please post..

Cheers,

Stralight321..

PS..Do you know the chords for ''Sign of the times'' by The Belle Stars?

Cheers..

[RitchyLoks]

[yenkidama1]

simplemente hermosa!!!

[Soul3Ian]

Those was the good days and paulie has nice pair of legs

[davidconway1958]

They all look so happy! I love the way Pauline's hair bounces and the way that her left eye is bigger than her right.

[outdoorw6]

Absolutley briiliant..i love the Selector and this re-working of On My Radio is great

[muffles36]

brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!1

Zeit spielt keine rolle

[erasure43]

Was lucky to see her /Them (two tone tour) amazing, back when it really mattered!!!!!

[Manta1600]

What a song, what a girl !!!

[wilfeatscheese]

@Manta1600 she signed my shit at the larma tree best night of my life . x

[LalorexOsito]

esta version en que cd esta?

[CROPTOR]

yo sq la tengo en una recopilacion de canciones se llama skamania,pero si le buscas lo encontraras facil ya que the selecter es un grupo muy conocido de ska.salut!

[ANGELCITY323]

se llama This Is Ska. Es una colleccion de ska y reggae.

[CROPTOR]

esta cancion es la polla en bicicletaaaaaaaaaa!"!!!!!!

[xDiamondDoll702x]

ok Pauline Black is beautiful i love the Selector

[GilbertSyndrome]

Wow, i've never heard this version, i have to admit, it is a lot tighter than the original, great stuff.

[qrion13]

Actually she was in her 30's when this video came out

[sahadowsong421]

On retrouve toujours Pauline avec plaisir !

[oledirtybrien]

damn pauline looks hot as a girl lol

wowza nice

[RitchyLoks]

@oledirtybrien waitt what you mean by as a girll ?? wtf!!

[AlbertX78]

@oledirtybrien everybody is beautiful when is young, obviously :]

[franko6677]

This is one of the rare instances where (in my opinion) the re-recorded version is far superior than the original. The original is not bad by any means, but this is the fully-realized version.

[Pitumisio]

This version has the little extra kick I always thought the original needed. Or I had always felt it had more kick as I was always drunk ;-P

Some things never change though: I still want Pauline Black so badly.

[benccollins]

ace =:O)

[AntiMusick]

I am wondering if anyone else likes their song 'Danger'?

[jukeboxmad]

i love it remember first time round it rocks still today should be on the radio NOW!!!!!!!!!

[wehavejoy]

we need more Pauline

great song

[alexdelrio45]

This video and song is awesome!! I remember The Selecter back in 1980 when I was only 19 years old. What a great band!! So much great music back then. There's alot of good music being written today, but these bands were making history! God bless you Pauline. You look and sound fantastic!!!!!!!!

[erasure43]

Oh my goodness, this is soooo good, I actually wanted to be Pauline when I was 15, ended up with a demanding job and a hefty mortgage, still dreaming!!!!

[Morrica]

i wanted to be Pauline too...no wait...I wanted Pauline...yes

[jennie40lynx]

Wow! She's looking (and sounding) good!

[jackiebaron]

Is that the original Selecter with Miss Black?

[profintern]

yes, actually, she is Pauline Black.

she looks diferent, no?

[Khultan]

She's gorgeous!  And the band is great. But, damn, she looks great! She wrote the lyrics or was it she and original band of the time?

[erasure43]

no, sorry can't fill in what happened to them, but they are not the "originals"

[Pixelslet]

Good lord, what have they done! The original version is perfect, they should have sticked to that!

[EUGENEMDAVIS]

DAMN!!!i i Haven't heard this track since 1980, during the winter.

[dfcvda]

[mugenD16]

[holycoke5000]

Ska music was about Black and White people coming together, living, growing, learning about eachother. That is what it meant to me groing up as a teenager in Thatchers Britain. More SKA now!
