This is my ring tone and it went off in assembly the other day... the "it's all a load of bollocks, and bollocks to it all!" part. Awesome song, I'm not sure my teachers appreciated it, though!
at school we all had to do a 10 min thing about ourselves,you know like what each person was interested in.i was a rude boy,still am,anyway i gave a minute speech on the clothes i was wearing,passed a few lp,s round the class and then played PEARLS CAFE.....most of them loved it,teacher too.
Fantastic song.................. loved it as a kid, use to blast it out when ever i got in trouble by my parents as i wasn't a loud to swear!!.............. brings back so so so so many great memories................... Terry Hall my idol ......... still my idol. It's a shame they didnt play it at their comeback concerts...
I love this tune too... this was the reason why i started my you tube channel... i searched for Pearls Cafe and couldnt find it... and the rest as they say is history!! :) Thanks for your comment.. :D

its a load of bollocks hahahahaha 30 years on im still shaving my head come on all u skinheads put ur braces and boots on .,..//.,.//,./., bollocks to u all
When i first saw you... i really thought you were a wet dream ... come true!!! :) Thats the sentence that always pops into my head when i sing the bollocks to it all bit..
The people who were always into that sort of gear are still into that sort of gear.... its the ones who now think its cool to dress like that who are starting to... my hubby has been a scooter boy for many many years and still wears the ben shermans, harringtons, doc martens... etc etc.... so do all his friends!!! :)
It was not being able to find this tune on You Tube that made me open my own account and upload it!!! Now theres some useless info for you eh..?? bet you sleep better tonight :D
Didn't see them first time round, hope the news about them doing a few gigs later this year turns out to be true - can't miss a second chance. Come on Terry do it.
Hey ... thank you for that comment ... i love this song... and this was the very first one i added.. i looked for it one day on You Tube and couldnt find it ..so i decided to add it myself, and thats where the channel started... i know my vids are boring..but the music is good .. even if i do say so myself .. thank you again!! :D
All Specials songs are excellent in their own right but to be honest although i adore Too Much Too Young...it is sooo mainstream that its one of my least faves ..although i do still love it if that makes sense!! Thanks for the comment though!! :D
This song was the very reason i set up this You Tube account ..i was looking for it (even though i have it on CD!!) and couldnt find it...so decided to add it myself...and so the account was born..Theres some useless info for you eh...bet you'll sleep really well tonight now .. ;)..Thank you !
