  • I did get to fly down to LA for a Club Noikia gig year before last. (Gwen Stefani and Dear Dave Wakling were there! It was good to see Dave. An honor to stand 10ft away from beautiful Miss Gwen.) and then Palm Springs for Cochela. The Specials didn't disappoint!!

  • I've brought that up to Lynval several times! The Specials DO need to play SEATTLE on the next US tour!!!

  • dave rocks hard

  • I was at this show! If Lynval lives in Seattle, why didn't the Specials play here? Grrr

  • we can go through every cover of this song on here but when you read the comments, it's apparent that nobody ever listens to the words of this song.

    Great cover, with much fuckin enjoyment. Thanks.

  • If you are gonna call yourself "The Beat" you had better live up to your name...and these guys sure did. They made my young teens so enjoyable growing up in a violent Northern Ireland escaping to the kicking ska they had to offer. Still Britain's most underrated 80's band.. beautiful forever.

  • Well said thanks for the comment!

  • Nice Specials Beat Crossover

  • why does america always need another band name for a band that have already got a perfectly good one?

  • well.. music 101! when traveling abroad.. If you go to another country and want to sell records ou better hope that band name of yours is not copyrighted to someone else. So there was aleady a band in the U.S.A. called "The Beat" So Mr. get on the band wagon to bash yanks.. Dave Wakling took "The English Beat" to sell records!

  • copyright aside people are more than capable of knowing 2 bands called the beat and distinguishing them. there are lots of people called james and "yanks" as you put it manage to do that.

  • @realthing1905 hell yeah put him in his place!

  • that little kid is doing better skkankin then someone 3 time his age.

  • Specials good.... Prince Buster best!

  • where were dave "blockhead",andy steele, dave cox and saxa?,they were THE BEAT!.

  • Lynval was the beat that summer!

  • man-o-man-o. These guys STILL ROCK.

  • Cool...the beat was always good..But liked the specials better.
