[victorchvlr]

This is england

[jblucas70]

phat!

[calicalley]

Like to play this on the jukebox in the DM shop in Liverpool.. 'I said yeahhhh!'

[ehumphrey1000]

wicked tune



[Monkeymanmoog]

Where was this version lifted from as it sounds less 'flat' than some of the other versions kicking about?

[hairychinfinn]

@Monkeymanmoog It sounds flat cos it's the ska version not the reggae one,you can find both versions on the 'toots and the maytals definitive collection pressure drop' hope this helps...

[duncanrs]

too true ,pre racism it was great to be a skinhead ,,,,it was'nt a fashion it was a way of life

[TheClashpotting]

thank you so much..ska reggae....YEEEEEEEPAAAAAAH!!!

[pmarasa]

Thanks so much; I was in my early 20s in the late '70s, living in NJ. Springsteen and this music kept me alive. Toots and the original skinheads and all the Two-Toners--bow your heads as they pass. And don't fight over who's who and what's what. Just love it and dance in the Ghost Town.

[scooge16]

Great video!

[DjJDtech]

1 person hit the wrong button

[xalstarx]

[furbi20]

I was at a scooter/skins rally in Tenerife last year. It was great to see the whole thing lives on, it was a festival of gr8 clothes, gr8 music and the fellowship you only found on the Ska scene

Skins Rool

[luislucio187]

i like this song but i like sublimes more because its faster and more up beat but this ones slow and lean (=

[jessegguitar]

[luislucio187]

@jessegguitar wow! i made the shittiest comment in the year for saying the 2 versions of this song are both great by differnet artist! well, all you put was a bunch of laughs and then said i have the shittiest comment of the year. YOUR A JERK

[jessegguitar]

@luislucio187 im sorry... im just saying that you need to really hear the maytals......i like sublime and dont understand how you could say something like that.... this song is so pure...

look up different version by the maytals....

[luislucio187]

@jessegguitar OMFG! (no to you jesse to the stupid reply botton, i keep clickin it on accident) i said both versions are great because one is faster and up beat while the maytals version is slow in which its like chillin out to good music and lean in which you can listen to it and like you said its pure....and what really affended you? did i say it was lean or slow.....IDK cuz there both words that are good..... =)

[jessegguitar]

@luislucio187 SOUL!!... it fukin gets you moving...a nd the drummers style too... no snare(but rim shots).. just groovin wit the beat.... and the vocalist screaming! at the top of his voice ... instead of just talking it.. its just more powerful.... .. i was just fuking wit ya... you know "run to the hills" by iron maiden...? check out the cover by adhesive.. sweden punk....

[utubeghandiman]

Great vid, the original skinhead (non racist) and into the coolest of cool music, trojan / ska / reggae, Down Carnaby street in the day, they had their spot in the flea market and were suited and booted and looking the ball locks and great conversations then came the hitler nazi troops and killed that look forever

*****

[cc1873cc]

I DONT THINK I COULD HAVE PUT IT ANY BETTER MYSELF

well said utubeghandiman

This is music for real people, sadly these kind of days are in the past but will live on in the memories of people like us

[atomic116090]

@utubeghandiman I can't change what other people think off me, I can't go inside there brain and force them to understand that I am not a nazi... It's like beating a dead horse... Let them think whatever they want

[utubeghandiman]

@atomic116090 thats true words, there were loads of black skins at one time too, shame media potrays the wrong look to the masses (its the bad apple story ahe)

[duharenboll]

Toots is the greatest <3 This video makes me wanna be a skingirl again so great job! :D

[cc1873cc]

I was always a Mod but had a lottttt of good skin m8's and we were all into this musicm and the real skins looked cool as fk, met a proper skin girl a cpl of months back in a pub all the guys were shit scared of her, wouldnt go near here, one of the nicest girls i ever met lol, there loss

[duharenboll]

here where I live there are only a few skins ( I don't count all the population of nazis that live here which are boneheads and not skins) and like no mods! It's so boring and I have no one to discuss music with or something like that.

[cc1873cc]

lol you ever want to discuss music i'm yer man lol, luv my musicccccc and luv talking about it, as i've said on so many occasions this is music for real people not your tv reality manufactured stuff that floods the music industry these days, were have all the good times gone ?

[bURRkEEF]

Awesome. I have this MP3 but know nothing about it or the band other than the fact that Sublime did a cover of this song. What year did it come out?

[red777photo]

great posting

[cc1873cc]

cheers red i could listen to this song all day, even my kids like it, but my daughters wouldnt let me give them a skingirl hairdo lol
