saw them four times during 79-81, i was 15 and got my older brother to help blag my way in, fuckin class................... madness, body snachchers and the selector, good times..
the original jamaican ska guys used to nick bits and pieces from u.s. and uk pop culture (like they still do with dancehall now - with elephant man and his vaguely homoerotic pink cowboy hats) - and one of the most common themes was westerns - although the theme from Shaft is another one that got the ska treatment - dunno if thats floating about on youtube. Specials made a pretty damn fine job of this version - but its all about the skatalites and the aggrovators - true innovators.

I disagree; Elephant Man's hats are TOTALLY homoerotic. :)

Can anyone explain to me how the theme music from a 1960s War film came to be a Ska classic? No critisism intended. Just interested

Many original ska bands did covers of EVERY SONG IN EXISTENCE.. from the Beatles.. to War movies..
hehe
It happens.. It is how the movement started :D
And I'm glad it did :D
