[everlong0101]

Through this video I found out about the band PapaFish. I really recommend them and you all should check them out.

[TURKY0504]

[TheCreepsAreAlright]

[jelmerkorteling]

[Jumpstylerz56]

Thumbs up if the Razor keygen got you here

[qwertyuiopdan1]

@Jumpstylerz56 How empty must your life be if you're having to beg for "likes" on youtube. How awful.

[TonyGgoss]

@qwertyuiopdan1 PRICK

[WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO]

They do this with such ease and look so comfortable. Like they belong there. Aw I love The Specials.

[everlong0101]

Specials fans, look up the band PapaFish form SoCal. Awesome band and sound.

[gusteroon]

Ahhh, back when music had spontaneity and was populated by bullshit-free accidental talents. Integrity +++

[dirkshrubb]

@gusteroon on the contrary, music was shit then that is how punk happened.  the seventies was actually pretty brutal for music save for a few bands and its not like they actually got radio play. big live acts. they still had the shit we do today. but today it seems that even the shit from their time is better.

[TheCrossStitcher]

@dirkshrubb You are right I remember disco duck being number one AND that damn green Orville bird being on TOTP, Ooops upside your head etc etc.

Punk did revolutionise the music back then, ska, mod, rock a billy, electronic music ( Kraftwerk etc) New romantics came about, I know because I lived it.

What is needed now is a modern version of punk or ska or whatever, need to get rid of the manufactured stuff, todays music needs real spontinaety

[voyces]

@TheCrossStitcher I feel the John Butler Trio does a pretty good reggae-influenced style of rock. Feels spontaneous and good to me! (and I had to live through disco too)

[rasalzir]

the amazing thing about this tune, is that rico rodriguez (trombone player) played on the original recording by dandy livingstone in 1969...i saw rico playing last week with jools holland, for a 78 year old he still got a lot of puff in him, was a wicked show,,,,one love to the man rico :~))

[DEDEPLDEDE]

skinheads oi

[TheGuts78]

everytime i heard that song, i feel f*cking free.

[dancetotheradio1]

just absolute brilliance. those 99 people baffle me.

[tempy2020]

I guess the 98 dislikes are only use to synthesized crap. They've probably never even seen a trumpet. sad :(

[musicfeind210787]

correct or go and F#@k lady GAGA although we all know shes a go damn bloke this songs is completley awsome if it wernt for my loving partner I Would never of got hooked on the Specials or Fun Boy 3

[TheMimifur]

@musicfeind210787 This lady gaga, the young people loveit. But so much better to know the ska.

A Message to you Rudy is a good one, but how about Gangsters or other stuff like Hey hey monkey man

[porkiddio]

let the ska to white peolple :D

[yottasang]

Where is the dreadlocks.

[WolfxShadow4]

rare live performance! awesome!

[DrDestroya]

I love this song. Me and the jazz band at my school are working on this currently & we're planning on performing it for our school soon xD

[dkgdbr]

Rico is such a boss, playing on the original version AND the Specials's version

[abc1235222]

[slytown]

That snare drum is pure sex. Can't beat The Specials.

[dirkshrubb]

@slytown its snair drum without the snair tightened if you want the exact sound, most likely in a solid wood kit....

[EXTRABIGASSTACOS]

[dirkshrubb]

[Rudey64]

Fantastic! Happy memories from my adolescence. Great music, fun with a message.

[Finess106]

Simply 97 people are comunists.. LOL

[dirkshrubb]

@Finess106 the specials would like them better than you then, do you know anything about politics and music? to each his own you dumbass.

[railwaystreetable]

A message to You Rudy....in the mail.....

[TheNostaglicFlower]

I remember this song when, I was a little girl. Oh, happy days! :D

[jeffreykins]

Apparently the white guys had real trouble convincing the black guys to play ska originally, because it was the equivalent of trying to get a white man to play merseybeat.

[eteusner]

love this tune... to this day, Neville Staple still kicks ass!!!!

[Somatunes]

drummer looks like Del Boy lol

[sharpserkes]

magic;) oi oi

[antoniobonapart]

I didn't know that Peewee Herman played the Bass

[lulniet000000]

That ska-shit did pas by like what... @ '79 I was 12 jears old.. I do stil like this kind of music!! Sounds like magic...

[DerKeks666]

@lulniet000000 so you dont understand what the Specials stand for . Its the first multicuturel Band and they trie to build a bridge between black and white

[84sblack]

[Malcolmfairy]

where did the time go....

[acai1975]

95 people should just go listen to Justin Bieber for life...

[TheDrPollux]

@acai1975 that happens in hell

[rhyskallen]

@acai1975 this is better than justin bieber

[VampieGames]

@rhyskallen He's talking about dislikes, he basically thinks the song is good, so anyone who doesn't like it should listen to Bieber for life because they don't appreciate good music.

[TheMetalupyourass83]

@acai1975 dont you mean 104 should go listen to justin beiber for life? sick bastards ( shakes head)

[sowgelder]

Very Very Very Good. And there still going!

[SergiousTattoo]

I don´t understand the dislikes... the world is sick...

[sheikhyaboooty]

@SergiousTattoo Is that sick as in good or bad? I was in my late teens in 79...lucky me..but now as an old git I`m not entirely sure what that term means anymore.

[SergiousTattoo]

@sheikhyaboooty That sick is very bad man... i didn´t know how to describe that way of persons click on "dislike". (Sorry, because my english is not enought good)

[SergiousTattoo]

Do not understand how people do not like THIS SONG

[dobblerdave]

@SergiousTattoo its because this isnt a dub step remix....? :S

[mbzuid]

they do that so the bar look like a joint i guess..

[wellermanjack]

if you want new ska, london ska you gotta look at these lads from london p45band

[brunzkydo]

checkout the ska band Mobster Manila they cover ghost town by the special! they are an undergound twotone ska from philippines

[CapitalgCapitals]

This Will Wake You Up In The Morning...!!

[kingjoebooboo]

One of the greats. Nobody will disagree.

[samiamparrotcan]

93 people didn't get the message

[AuraGinaxy235]

[PuddinPop100]

The whole 'rude boy' and 'skin-head' thing confuses me. Someone care to elaborate?

[mogzey36]

[xBugsiieee]

[boogsox]

My six year old boy has loved this song for a couple years, and even loves Ghost Town more. He has a Rude Boy tee he wears to grade 1. 2 tone rocks!! BC/Canada

[DouglyFugly]

Specials fans, highly recommend checking out the band PapaFish out of socal if you are looking for some sick new music.

[RickRox80]

as an 7 yr old - classic! THE SPECIALS ARE ON THE GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME. SIMPLE.

[MsSaucepot]

I wish I was around then.....everyone in the music industry are rubbish today...all crusty cheese with no meaning. :-( I went to one of their gigs the other day and all I can say is..The Specials RULE! World domination!! haha ..amazing is an understatement!! can't describe the feeling in the crowd! Got battered in the mosh pit but I'd do it again in a flash! such fun! :-)

[043lightman]

TOP TOP Classic , good musicians,real talent no flannel ! Oh where has all the talent gone Simon Cowell !!!

[effrainm]

What the fuck, last time i watched this vid like 3 years ago it didnt have that much views. dont tell me the specials are gonna get ruined by hipster fags or something

[ZipperLippedSuburbia]

@effrainm What, they can't like music you like?

[21tishahamptonser21]

ey sharing fantasies and if possible put them into practice

[TheDailyCranks]

there from the same city as me coventry :D

[nonrehc]

@TheDailyCranks Me too :)

[bleeptester]

I remember this going out. I was 13 and just getting into this music, brilliant. still good all these years later,,,

[marcfedak]

I was lucky enough to see them on Saturday Night Live around that time doing this song as well as Gangster. They wore black and white and the set was the same, minimalist new wave two tone, plus they had an organ and James Bond like guitar, great vocal harmonies and were unbelievably tight. And it sure was more interesting than late 70s - early 80s J. Geils Band and Asia.

[amber4450]

Rico on trombone awesome

[Chew121]

[brezhnevv]
