krap

[SeeburgMusic]

Isn't it funny that stuff from the 50's was better video quality than the stuff from the 80's. Great song by the way, but terrible lip-synch job!

[ISawRed123]

I love Terry Hall, but that haircut is just awful!!!!

[PoisonTea4u]

@ISawRed123 It's a bananarama hair do

[chalklava]

@ISawRed123 Yeah, kind of makes it hard to take his deadpan expression seriously when he looks like that versus Specials era Terry, huh? lol.

[daypeshmodd]

@chalklava He did occasionally smile during the FB3 era, including in this video, but mostly cos of the wacky music I guess. Personally, I love that look btw, reminds me of a decade I miss a lot.

[chalklava]

@daypeshmodd Oh yes, I love it all too!!!

[DanceIntoTheFire10]

Love this song, and I think Terry Hall is really cute in this video clip. I love the way he looked in the Fun Boy Three days. :)

[1609bazza]

What a tune I love the FB3 they were brilliant had the same hair style at Terry (when I had hair) how I miss them days.

[tomeeeee1]

"Must save Terry's DNA for later use." Oh, did I say that out loud?

[gmazzotti]

this is just like a Terry hall bad acid dream

[SuperEliteTim]

Only Lynval knows how to play this song - and he won't tell anybody else, not even the rest of The Specials. Genre-defying.

[OldishMusic]

After I first heard this on TOTP2 on Dave, I just can't get the rhythm out of my head, and the sax part.

Brilliant song! I'd love to share with my mates at school but they'd think I was crazy. But who cares? One of the FB3 songs ever!

[OldishMusic]

*best FB3*

[doctorwho2pat]

I swear that the guy playing the trumpet is none other than Chas Smyth from that legendary band Madness

[tindrum]

With those moves, absolutely, that was Cathal alright!!!

[doctorwhonico]

Hello doctor. Flying the tardis?

[gazbirtles]

No. It is , in fact , DEAN SARGENT from THE SWINGING LAURELS - Leicesters 'nearly-made-its'

cheers

Gaz birtles

[crazydaisydoo]

Mr Birtles is a Leicester sax legend. This must have been a great laugh. Did Terry Hall ever smile?

[vandrossfan]

I remember The Swinging Laurels asI used to see one of them round town alot the bloke with the kind of goatee think he's the one on the left great days and memories.
