  • The Beat

  • smart lyrics, self absorption leads to isolation and mental illness

  • Ya know IN THE BATHROOM!

  • You can nearly see it.

  • IN THE BATHROOM

  • Love this song!

  • i konw the beat there friends of ours

  • Imagine having to perform the same 5 or 6 songs every night -- sometimes twice a night -- for your entire career. I can understand all the drug abuse and rocknroll suicides on the road. The band members look like they're sleeping their way through the performances.

  • @RoboSlater You feed off the audience ..if they are zombies u are Lol.. Know what your'e saying about this clip

  • this may be the ONE case where calling them the ENGLISH beat just sounds better than simply The Beat...its just an opinion.

  • Does this have ANYTHING to do with "Blank Generation"???

  • bad song

  • Good stuff!

  • One of the best songs ever written, and THE BEST ska song ever...

  • @dovie2blue - point, was a teenager hearing The Beat for the first time, got completely mad about this track, 4-phuck-sake the best ska song EVER!

  • whaddya mean no one in Noo Zild knows the Beat!!! Maybe in your neighbourhood,I've got all the bloody two tone/go feet vinyl.Stand down ,please

  • Thanks too you for putting this up for us to enjoy,Big fan of the e beat.

  • I am a driving instructor In new Zealand..born in Cardiff.south Wales...Driving around Auckland blearing this out. nearly everyday!.I swear nobody knows what it is over here...This along with click click ,twist and crawl and big shot are my favorites..I was 17 when this came out...46 now! awesome.

  • never heard english beat .the beat ,rankin roger ,dancing legend.

  • going down the crown

  • are they the beat or the english beat???????????????? good songs!

  • The Beat in the UK, The English Beat in the US, something to do with a band there already called the Beat.

  • @Charlie9745217 Just The Beat. The nothing band that had the name The Beat in the US has never been heard from again. I figure the country they are from must know what they are called.

  • this is awesome !

  • its called the ENGLISH beat, mate, and this songs about schizophrenia, kinda makes you wonder doesn't it...

  • Get a clue. It's only called the ENGLISH Beat in the US, because the record companies already had some lame band they were marketing w/that name. You are not gonna start calling the other bands on 2Tone label English Specials, English Madness, or English Selecter? No? Then this band is The Beat...and if you are not a Brit or Aus/Kiwi using "mate" is daft.

  • ha ha ha ha nice one, he needs to get out more. metal damage brain damage you listening bronze...

  • Ha! English Specials, English Madness... I love it.

  • @Pyrethryn Buster English Bloodvessel? lol

    Gimme a break, FFS! Them septics are egotistical twats. This is THE BEAT - one & only...

  • @ammutbite good beatdown! I would have jumped in but you had it under control.  No one from the UK would have insisted it was the "English" Beat so why use "mate?"

  • Thanks for posting this video. So awesome to see and hear these again.

  • looooooove it!

  • The English Beat bass player never really liked this song.

  • Which is why:

    A) He was the bass player

    B) He put out all that crap with the Fine Young Cannibals

  • @kezepema They are just "The Beat." Get it into your thick American skull.

  • Well Mr. Know-it-all you must know the trademark slogan that is carried on all authentic Beat products then. If you get it, I'll know you're knowledgeable as well as well as rude.

  • @29cherokee Yeah I'm a rude boy, ain't I?? ha ha.

  • @dovie2blue

    Nah. Just another uncivil slob who somehow thinks it's about you.

  • @29cherokee Oh go fuck yourself.

  • @dovie2blue

    And brilliant too. What a fascinating chap.

  • @29cherokee

    Completely non-linear after 1 response. Now I understand why you take pussy hit and run shots at people. You must have caught a bunch of shit for playing with your erector set during kickball.

  • just wicked,lol

  • Pleasant ska dancing band but not as interesting as The Specials or Madness !!! stand down Margaret !!

  • Yesssss. Go to Middle Earth Records precious... in Downey, CA. Tell Tim UPS Vic sent ya.
