Wow! Rico Rodriguez with The Specials.

[elvenwishes]

Should be more like this. Guys wearing suits and ties and nice clothes and not looking like they just come out of training camp....

[DOW700]

[BeezoHow]

Gotta straighten right out - or else you'll wind up in jail..!!!

Better think of your future...

[punkandoi69]

[T4rDKnoT666fun]

goddamn this sounds great when you're as stoned as me right now.

[valiumknights]

If I had a soundtrack that followed me around everywhere I go like it does in cartoons and stuff, I'd want it to be this song.

[katimandur]

[DOW700]

@katimandur the specials weren't skinheads.. and they weren't an oi band either. GAH!

[alk3tom]

Ahh, my fav specials song

[DikkSteini]

Don't mean to crap in your chili, but this is not their song.

[alk3tom]

ik its a cover, its still my fav by them. idky but sometimes a fav song of mine by a band will sometimes be a cover, like New york dolls "stranded in the jungle"

Ill restate my comment tho

"Ahh, my fav specials cover song"

[ihatecivics7]

Don't be crapping in peoples chili... thats rude.

[tubeaddict718]

I AM ALWAYS RUDE

[franzchick66]

why can't guys dress like this anymore? they look sexy with their hats and suits.

[mikkaklaar]

i still do toots :)

[Cloudburst]

hahahaha

[slimzy1990]

@franzchick66 we do!

[Ironslad1985]

@franzchick66 Some do!

[numetalbeast]

@franzchick66 those pants of the suits will be hanging under their asses if they do that now

[heathbradford]

@franzchick66 men got tired of getting their ass kicked...thats why.

[Raxapheon]

no comments

[esperitdel1917]

The Specials... Are enormeous!!!!!

[azulo65]

Can we go back to this? And destroy all the tween musical horrors that Disney has afflicted our culture with??

Love The Specials! :)

[ChristineCreature]

hahahahaa!!! I couldn't agree more!!!

[LordPaynus]

no it won't work, people are too purposefully ignorant and vapid nowadays. Haven't you seen Idiocracy?

[Neville6000]

Look, ska just went out of fashion in England and America-pop had nothing to do with it.

[Neville6000]

Disney has NOTHING to do with it at all! Want to blame somebody? Blame the radio industry and the record industry for not keeping ska at the forefront of people's minds; if they wern't so greedy, Mousekateer music wouldn't have taken over. Also, blame that fucking oversexed hillbilly from Arkansas the was elected president-it was he that allowed Clear Channel to buy up all the stations in one city by repealing the FCC regulation that used to nix such maneuvers.

[ser4ever]

I love this song so much!

[millertas]

Ah remember those ska/punk days of the late 70s/early 80s when I was in my early 20s and disco music was really giving me the shits.

[Merel13]

i wish i had a timemachine

[SWENSS0N]

hahaha SWEET! me too! :D

[funkysales]

RICO RODRIGUEZ THE KING OF THE KINGS

[chrispharis1]

No he wasnt

[mlphawaii]

this song was popular when i was in 7th

8th grade...i'll never forget it...such wonderful memories..ska rules!!!

[iguana6699]

I saw The Specials live in Oakville, Canada in 1981 at the first of three "Police Picnics" (with The Police headlining). I was 16. They were amazing at a huge outdoor concert. Also saw the English Beat several times. Good times.

[mummyslilmunster]

haha true that !

ppl can be quite imature

why complain?

[sspo17]

This song has made a bad day good. Looking at the video 30 years later; the message has not changed...What ever it may mean to you. is it really worth it? Man, just go out and live your life and stop bitch'n.

[RudiTurbo]

wth noobs

[mummyslilmunster]

[samnninty]

;)

[joakoi69]

great song!!

[RUDSTER121]

lol my name is Rudy

[DEZxINTEGRAL]

HHAhaha

lol

[aussieangie]

Just love this song. I was lucky enough to see these guys, Madness, and The Beat. These bands still live on !!

[weecoby3]

Too true aussieangie! I've seen Madness countless times but never had the pleasure of seeing The Specials or The Beat ...FUCK ART, LETS DANCE!!

[6of6]

When exactly did you see these bands? You aren't old enough from what your channel states.

[gabestinks]

Dude im 21 and I would saw my own legs off to have been born 20 years sooner. People my age can still love music we were to young to understand as kids.

[loxx101]

Why do you have to be such an ass?

Why can someone not love music from back in our parent's days??

I personally am 19, and I LOVE all of this type stuff.

And old bands sometimes do have special re-uniting tours and stuff. People like me would do anything to go to them, because we are missing out on it!

[6of6]

To whom are you directing this comment loxx101?

[loxx101]

You.

Why be so patronising? That isn't what music is about.

[6of6]

Patronising? Perhaps you are confused. To what comment that I made are you referring, & more importantly, to whom was it directed?

[andyparse]

Im 38 mate i were brought up with this . you either like it or you dont.

[aabbs7]

I like the speacils and madness and all that, good fun dancing music.

[poppyseedgurl]

2Tone is the freaking greatest!!! Specials still Rock!!!

[justgimmieaname]

Just discovered the specials through

"a room for romeo brass"

Don't know which is better, the band r the movie!

[DressSmartLookHard]

Romeo Brass is awesome, it is where I first got into The Specials.

[fabians002]

ay tiempos rudos

[jakeyo11]

[joSSka]

The best song ever

[00THEONEWITHNONAME00]

FUCK YOU RUDY!!!

8D

[rmsutherland]

[grrlsgrrl]

Bring back The Mods and Rude Boys

[Lobotomyu]

You forgot the real skinheads and not those stupid racist excuses known as boneheads.

[Atshes]

[sixar]

chooooooooooooooooooooon, everyfing about in this video is cumin bak BIG

[nataliethequeen]

ohmygod. this is the sex!!

[poolfarm2]

Reminds me of my battered old cento

[Forkliftdance]

haha i love how they all dance in this song

[floritcerrato]

frutalllllllll neglaso!!

[killerjim02]

They dont make music like this any more!

[ffloydthebarber]

my parents awlays said this was my song, im now 21 and every lyric is true to my lifesyle, rudy out

[fuckingsniffglue]

to tell the truth, its only chavs who pretty much try and act like there black,

ska brought black n white together and thats some thing you dont see today, so piss off or listen to the music and get over your racist self.

great song by the way.

[funkymunky2007]

probably one of the best songs ever! It just doesn't get old.

[garyperkins07]

whats with the wigga and white comments ....rubbish sit back and listen.. good or wat

[justlikeataris]

love 2-tone

[caerza]

muy bueno saludos desde santiago de chile  el ska la lleva !!!!

[petescurvy]

Yeah, we can't help it. you see being white is uncool, and some just can't cope with that.

[NYFMA]

If you are part my, (ahem) "white heritage" then I hereby disown you.

[JustinMShaw]

People always act like their neighbors, it's just a fact of humanity. Put whites and blacks together and they will act like each other. And get over your BS about white heritage. If you really knew your ancestors far back enough you'd see some nonwhite faces. There are no pure races in the world, just illusions for idiots to build hate around.

[ninanightnurse]

try living in Northern Ireland and you'll see worse bias!!! Humanity sucks!!

[JustinMShaw]

And they have acted like each other there too. Both violent and intolerant. One of those parts of the world that does not attract much respect.

[wshockwave]

totally agree

[kashman0219]

Funny how he's listening to this though!!!

[martley1]

R u for real?

[jimmybaldwin]

Learn 'bout the context in which this music was written, yeah.

[dorelis2001]

Saludos unos de mis grupos preferidos

Tijuana 91x RULAS

col. Aleman

[notorious498]

With all the violence among the Youths.This song is sitll actual.

[BARCAMAN1]

the origanal sniffs..... :)

[UrRockPrincess1346]

thsi song is about my moms boyfriend and he has to do all the things that it says in the song or he will go to jail again!!...

[LordPaynus]

People are giving you thumbs down because they think you are saying the song was written about him specifically. I know better. You know what the song's about.

[Luca1234567]

Yah people used to say this was "my song" in highschool. So i know what you mean...

[Jerjito]

Buen video.

[KillerMRK]

They all look like coke fiends, but considering it was '79, they probably dabbled (ha!) in it.

[jkt626]

God bless youtube! Heard song on my TV. Fios has all these music stations. Funny and pleasent song..  good harmony and brass on this one

[LittlePoopyJimmy]

- 6 lol
