what a croc pf shite, if your going to mime to the Specials then do it some justice. Besides that i love the track but your veiw on this or portrayed is utter shite. Dont get me started on the crap Jerry Dammers cover job .........................omfg total crap
You've really done a brilliant song justice with a great vid! Hope you managed to catch the band at the SECC this week - the songs are still very relevant today! Cheers!
This is ska. Pure, Simple, Timeless, and Brilliant.
So fck off all you smelly old nonces pretending to be 14. And if you are a young one..great.. good luck to you..but don't keep telling us wiser dudes how immature you are. Just enjoy ffs
good job, except the parts with the sunglassed guy in front of the checkered wall are a bit lengthy. seems like you put it in for lack of better footage.
Although Jerry did write a lot their stuff, this WAS written by Terry. There are some great songwriters in The Specials eg Roddy Byers wrote Concrete Jungle and Lynval is responsible for Do Nothing and Why.
this song will always be one of my favorites. i used to listen to this when i was about 14 and i finally got to see them play in palo alto when i was around 16 and loved every minute of it.
hey, if some fanny is gonna come on here and insult what i happen to think is a very well put together video, that my b/f put alot of hard work into (he got an A+ btw, which contributed to his honours degree) then he's gonna get some lip. u don't like it? oh well i guess i'll away and cry myself to sleep! especially because of ur obviously supreme screen name!
Coventry's finest indeed, the most underrated band to ever come out of the UK. In my opinion, the best band ever out of the UK, without the specials, we wouldnt have ragga, Jungle, drum and bass....they pioneered the cross racial risk factor in British music during a pretty stagnant post seventies hippy depression. British society wasnt a pretty place in the midlands or down south for that matter, a lot of tension and fuck all to do about it, great lads.
Some of the most astute, social comment ever about the '80's (or the 90's on the noughties for that matter) wrapped up in a sublime piece of Specials musical magic, inc the oh so cheesy keyboard, so reminiscent of washed out shabby B&B's on forgotten seafronts in forgotten seaside towns. Much loved, much missed. Coventry's finest, without a doubt.
