[danielbooneify]

classic.ub4life

[stephenhayesuk]

Great song for Muamar Gaddafi

[davylar1]

norman hassan is the one man

[tui198]

ooh yeah, hell yeah :)

[Dozzydoo]

This is joyous and brilliant. Seeing Len skanking away with the lads makes me proud to be a Brummie, ok he's from Dudley but he can help out when we're short handed!

[SireMario444]

i thought Astro sang this song! D:

[SAHBfan]

I don't get it, where is the guy with the irritating nasley voice?

Who is that guy singing? Far better than the other guy, I've seen them on tele dozens of times, but I don't remember him....

[jacksonwescott]

@SAHBfan His name is Norman Hassan. He's the band's percussionist and has always been in the band.

[MOONST0MP]

Is this a piss take???? Please tell me they are not serious!! Is it a piss take? sorry I really do not know!! The Slickers ' Johnny 2 bad' is one of the best reggae tracks ever. Is this a piss take of it???

[The71marti]

great song, great version. astro barely containing his lafter at lenny. great vid from lenny henry show. weird to think that ub40 and lenny henry were actually reallly cool at this time! ub40 fell out with each other. what happened to lenny henry?

[sleakitweasel]

This is an absolute TRAVESTY of The Slickers' original. Makes me hoot with derisive LOLOLs

UB40 suck so much, their teeth hurt.

[redmick]

Slickers?
