2-Tone Rocksteady was far better than 2-Tone Ska, I wish they had made a few more Rocksteady chunes. The Bodysnatchers have a bunch, but The Specials didn't make many :(
Songs like this and 'What I like most about you is your girlfriend' are very underrated, but both this song and the SLC Punk! movie are both great who gives a fuck about when or how music was discovered as long as you're alive to listen to it and able to jam the fuck out.
about to spoil dem rudeboys fun but rude boys dont give up dem guns.were too hotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttx
people here need to chill. if somebody finds this song because of a great movie whats wrong with that? im sure some of you guys are kinda old and get pissed at that, which i can cope with.
but you gotta understand, they dont play this music around like they did back then...
so fucking what is a movie turned them onto this music? GTFO your high horse too cool hipster. Its not like you were in the band or contributed to their success. you sound like a snooty college kid and if you are over 25... how sad. lol
I was into downvoting young people before it was cool. The new thing is upvoting young people for appreciating culture, and actually taking the time to look into the history something they enjoy.
Lol "I'm older than you and I heard it first!" I got bad news for ass-holes like this. I'm going to be listening to the Specials while worms eat your ass-hole innards. I'll still be listening to new exciting music while you close your mind to new things. I'm livin it up while you are a bitter old bitch.
personally i think people should be happy that a movie like slc punk and this is england is getting young people into punk and ska music.
lets be honist. its better than them listening to eminem
i grew up with my dad playing bands like the specials, toots and the maytals, skatalites, desmond dekker and madness along with alot of great punk bands. i say rather than "voting down" the children embrace them. lets be honist, they have no good music atm. btw im actually only 20
Look, it doesn't matter how you discovered a band, whether you you hear it in a movie or through other bands or whatever. As long as you get it and the music speaks to you and who you are then what the fuck does it matter?
suburbia is good for the grimey punk feel and is def solid but slc is da bomb for making you wish you were there. peps that hate on it are just trying to behardcore. ....grow up then youll realize its no longer a "whos got the bigger dick" contest
Why does everyone hate on SLC Punk? Dont see it as a example of the punk scene because of course its not, just see it as a movie ment to entertain you! If you want a more accurate representation of the squatter punk scene, watch the movie Suburbia (1984)
@themadhatter1387 lmao slc punk is a movie about these punk teens growin up in salt lake city. its a pretty good movie and this song just so happens to be in it
# love this track. love the backing vocals (too hot) love the lead, just play it you'll see what i mean. if you don't then keep listening you'll will love it. and if you dont love it then you got something wrong with your soul.
Dear posers, while you are praising The Specials thinking you discovered them, and the song "Too Hot." (While dissing people for liking it, from the movie SLC Punks.) It just goes to show your a hypocrite! See, in the early 60's a BAMF named "Prince Buster wrote this. He is a ska legend.
@jmeckle1 old punk reporting for duty sir. i actually had a couple beers with Ian mkay a long time ago...most of these kids would call me a liar, because of the whole strait edge thing, but ian drank in moderation, when he was old enough to drink, if not before...these new so called "punks" have really soiled a lifestyle that ment more to me than just music or dress...oh, and fuck hot topic!
It doesn't make you any cooler to have been fortunate enough to hear it first, but the only fact that should matter is that you like it because its damn good music, regardless of how the sound got to your ears.
@jmeckle1 excuse "children" from listening to good music of the past. I mean listening to music that happened before your generation automatically makes you a poser right? totally.
@jmeckle1 idont get it wats wrong with somebody finding about this music from a movie infact u should be thanking the movie cuz it makes another person like punk/ska music
@jmeckle1 Do you feel superior because you knew the song first? Regardless of how the person found it they are still listening to it, and still enjoying it. That's all that matters.
@1995bimetalhead oh yea, but everyone knows that if they listened to it because of the movie, they're not original punks & just posers....i'm such a punk that i'm using youtube ironically. fuck the establishment.....no, i can be more punk that that....i love the establishment.....god, i'm so punk.
@jmeckle1 I'm glad SLC included real ska music in it. "Yo screw that movie for showing a new generation music that they would otherwise never hear of." You must be the coolest kid on your block.
@jmeckle1 I mean wats wrong with that movie intoducin people to great music god damn Ska is all about unity lets get over the whole childish oh i listend to this band blah blah blah stop bieng a child yourself and just enjoy the greatness of The Specials
@0072817 i knew it!!! any real follwer of punk would never say thumbs up for attention. Punk is anti racist so 'nigger' is a retarded word especialy when this band you like is half black. Fucking idiot american
Oooo oo Oooo ooo oo.... TO HOT! such a cool band

on this awesome day.
all of a sudden i look up the street an i see like 12 of my friends all in a giant
mob looking thing, an we ran up to each other.
an then it started the best 4/20 of my life so far.
