[ManilaSyndicate]

The best version, love the slowed-down tone at the middle to last part.

[glenneveaux]

[blairbooth]

Jerry Sadowitz who appeared in Terry Blair&Anouchka's video of Ultra Modern Nursery Rhymes, complained that this video infringed upon his copyright. Jerry's been replaced.

It has taken 5 months to do this!

Although angry with Jerry, I am also grateful because, I would have never learned Adobe After Effects and graphic animation. So thank you Jerry!

Jerry has been replaced by a number of colourful characters! Marc Bolan even makes an appearance! Bet he won't complain??!!!

[DerrEinzige]

"Ain't he cute? No he ain't He's just another burden on the welfare state "

[bgrover]

For Andy 'Ganz' Bury

[pix042]

The song is even more relevant to society today than it was then,

[dayiiv]

@pix042 dude no fucking way. this rescession is fuck all compared to thatcher destroying the fucking country. not being able to afford a second hd tv for the kitchen is not hard times. rubbish piling up on the street and everyone striking and rioting THAT is a country in state.

[LunarEcli]

@dayiiv i think he was talking about increasing rates of teenage pregnancy....

[dayiiv]

@LunarEcli teenage pregnancy isnt as bad as people make out. its just that the government monitors it and releases the figures so we can see how much it goes on whereas in the old days it was all kept behind closed doors.

[JacobDeadman]

[heru1966]

@ABITTERSWEETGIRL Good point....Britain now has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in Western Europe (maybe it always did!). Horace had a point when he said they should re-release it. :-)

[IpcressF]

Pulls no punches and is funky and catchy as hell.

[Mr607080100]

This is the song they should play in those reproductive health classes. LOL

[mistaben2k]

Is the kid fed well?I doubt it,kids these days sre fed crap and don't execise.

[heru1966]

Fantastic track, I love the keyboards on it and no, I'm not Jerry. :-)))

[rob211260]

My kids finally admit that that they are the first generation with parent's who's music is cooler than theirs - except now all they listen to is great songs like this.

[zach1122666]

how i can relate to this song so much. my ex left me to get back with her ex and now shes getting married and shes pregnant. everyone involved is under 20

[heru1966]

Love this tune.....the extended version is a KILLER!

[jiltedjohn123456789]

[BritsNationalPeople]

First off i'm not a christian for those very reasons, i'm a pagan and have been for many years. I don't have any issue with settled immigrants, i'm 4th generation myself on my dads side of the family and i know why he came here, the same reason Hindus, Sikhs and other people from the old India. I hold great respects for those who came here to better themselves, they didn't come here to scrounge of the state, they worked bloody hard for their rights and place in the communities they lived in

[BritsNationalPeople]

My issue is with radical Islam & mass immigration as that causes problems for everyone, ask a Rasta man if he would give up his religion, i think the answer would be he'd rather die, do you think for a second that if Britain ever became an Islamic state all the followers of other religions would still be able to live the lives they do now, just a study of the Middle East and Islamic law answers that question. My great grandfather came here in 1900 to get away from islam, like many others.

[alexvallely1]

@BritsNationalPeople i agree i think its disgusting, all races are disgusting!!!

[BritsNationalPeople]

Not the original, was done by the band The Specials were before they were The Specials, did under their original name of The Covenry Automatics, saw them at the Limelight Club in1978 before they got their record deal.

[nobnp4uk]

i really like the special aka remember when they made the songs i don't want racist friends about racist like the NF and the newly formed BNP?

[BritsNationalPeople]

@nobnp4uk The song was called Rasict Friend and not I don't want Racist Friends. I did most of my growing up in London, i have many friends in the Black community and had the pleasure of working in the music industry with people like Pauline Black from the Selecter, i met The specials before they were even the Specials, i'm also in the 2 Tone Dance Craze Mag that came with the Dance craze album, i'm the guy with the 2 tone logo and Madness M on his head, being a patriot dont make you a Nazi

[nobnp4uk]

I really do not believe a word you say.You openly support a nationalist racist party hellbent on destroying multi culture but brag about how you are one of the original ska boys who lets face it promotes bands that promote multi culture.How did you feel about jerrry Dammers damming speech against the BNP outside bbc offices during question time?

[BritsNationalPeople]

@nobnp4uk Ska did not promote multi culture, it was only a blend of BLACK & WHITE, not asian, chinese, or any other culture, i also know Black people who are patriotic nationalistic people, i was in the Army with Black people, you are the kind of person who creates division with the crap you spout, not all Nationalists are racist you know, next you will try and tell me that Black nationalists, or Asian are racist in their own countries, or is it only whites who can racist

[nobnp4uk]

Oh thats why 2 tone were an integral part of rock against racism?now i know your talking crap.

[nobnp4uk]

So if your not a racist why is your friends full of know racist and you even have a few white power 14/88 types you have subscribed to your self.You seem to hang around whit a bunch of racist why would you?

[nobnp4uk]

I think you have no black mates at all theses days maybe a few in your schooldays.your saying a lot of stuff that is advised to be said when you sign up for the BNP" armchair activist" crap the bnp organize online.

[BritsNationalPeople]

@nobnp4uk you know nothing about the person i am, my cultural background, the fact i'm 4th generation immigrant on my fathers side, the fact my parents fostered black children, that my first best friend was black, the fact i stood shoulder to shoulder with black people in Brixton. What do i think of Jerry Dammers ? he's ok, only one fault i can see and thats supporting an organization that promotes violence with claw hammers. I've met him, had a beer with him, how well do you know him eh

[nobnp4uk]

Then why on earth would you support the BNP who stand against everything you seem to belive in? Just because your a patriot it does not mean you have to support the britians best know racist political party?

Fair question?

[BritsNationalPeople]

Who else is there, don't bother saying UKIP, i spent 3 years working with them just to hear reps say they supported the EU, something i stand against. Havent you realized people dont support BNP for every policy, i know i don't but they are the only ones who say NO to EU and mean it, i'm an ex soldier and agree with their policy regarding Iraq & Afghanistan. race dont come into it for me, take it or leave it, im done here as i only came in to give some info people may not know about the Specials

[boondocks128]

i will however say 1 thing as much as i am anti rascist i disagree with muslim immigrants in my homeland of sweden for 1 reason they are 13% of population

90% of them dont work that is national statistics we've got to a point when hard working muslims are saying they dont want anymore muslims coming here because they wont work and the crime rate involving them is attrocius

[nobnp4uk]

Jerry dammers openly supports the UAF Have you seen the video of what he says about the bnp? His only fault is that the UAF seem to be a bit mellow from anti fascist in his days.

[boondocks128]

yet you still support the BNP. basically you pick bits of the BNP policies you agree with and ignore the ones you dont

just like christians do with the bible they ignore the parts where god kills innocent people in the floods but dont ignore where it says he loves us every time

[BritsNationalPeople]

And dont you think that maybe it's partly his views that the rest of the band refused to let him be a part of the reunion, infact he's been pushed out of everything the other band members have done since they split. Dammers caused the split in the first place by wanting to change the band, just go read up old copies of NME from that time to see what Terry Hall and other members thought of Dammers, words on the lines of Dictatorial (DICTATOR)

[nobnp4uk]

Whats that got to do with anything 3 post ago jerry was your hero and now hes not because hes anti bnp?What a turn coat.I really cant take you sereious if you think the 2 tone days were pro nationalistThey were the beacon of what multi culture is all about.They are not on your side thats bands like the selector play antifa benefits all over europe.

[nobnp4uk]

TWO TONE was is and always will be anti racist so therefore anti bnp.

[boondocks128]

that dude is hilarious he likes 2tone and ska a music genre created by black people in jamaica is he for real or what he supports a rascst political party

rudys = unity

[nobnp4uk]

@boondocks128

He was all Jerry dammers is god till i pointed out that he is not just against the bnp but an activist against them then he starts giving all bad about jerry

lol

What was he thinking indeed.

[dawniebee946]

Love it!! "Ain't you heard of the starving millions, ain't you heard of contraception...." ".....try wearing a cap"!

I wonder if the mothers of the band might have done too much too young!

Much appreciated Luke! Hugs.

[BritsNationalPeople]

@dawniebee946 Ain't you heard of the starving millions

Ain't you heard of contraception

Do you really want a program of sterilization

Take control of the population boom

It's in your living room

Keep a generation gap
