Amphetameanies - Say Something Special

[MrDankDonk]

looking out the window at pissing wet January in Glasgow, believe me, we would love to...

[S0LaNzzz]

come to Greece!!!!! yeyyyy :)

[peterclarke23]

my favourite meanies song



[MrDankDonk]

I think a lot of the southside punks moved to either Holland or Brighton, gradually disappearing over the early 2000s....HOWEVER, funny you should ask, but EX-CATHEDRA (who had completely split up for ages) are getting back together to play Rebellion at Blackpool and a one-off gig in Glasgow next month....(and aye, that's Jane, Andi-Ex's sister)

You folks anything to do with that mad collective in Glasgow that had Disaffect and Sedition on its books .I'm not really into SKA (WHICH IS NOBODY'S FAULT - NOT EVEN MY OWN..) But i'd like to know if the hardcore scene survived the 90's.What happened to ex-cathedra for example? Ska - Core ?Thats Andy's sister singing innit?

[Fooblestheclown]

45 likes, and 1 dislike. I guess this is the new improved You tube rating system. That one person who dislikes this video deserves a bummie.

[vorhese]

San Francisco represent. Keep it alive guys!

[iamafish400]

Just found this on a Specials site, can't believe I haven't heard you guys before!! Wicked stuff, I love finding ska bands I didn't know about. I'll be buying an album when I get the money!!

[djrhythmmaster]

WELL I MUST SAY I AM A "Amphetameanies" VIRGIN..

WICKED TUNE GUYS :) LIKING THE SOUND

[ratbutcher]

well stop it, be an Amphetameanies slut

[InspectriceGadget]

wow:)

[juraOiOiOi]

skaaaaa!

[hankwavey]

wish you were in Sheff on the specials tour, you lot would line it up perfect. instead i'll be at the bar i bet

[claireslnlsc]

Only heard about you today off The Specials Facebook group and thought I would have a listen. :-) :-) Love it.

[MrDankDonk]

splendid... always good to reach new ears... we've been going so long, I always kind of presume everyone has heard us already...

[Humanpunk77]

@MrDankDonk Class stuff I'd never heard off you til the London Festival was announced. I don't think I've heard of you playing in Ireland but maybe you's have. Cool music

[MrDankDonk]

HP77

we've NEVER played Ireland, but we've talked about it a lot with the Running Riot folk in Belfast, and Jero Ska patrol in the south...we are hoping that once we've got album 3 finished and released, we can make Ireland next year's summer adventure...

Gordy meanie

[Kay14Mali]

hey die warn doch dies jahr am kalkwerk

[Heureverte]

Hurray (hourrah in my langage) from a french ska lover : you are my favorite UK ska band ;) I Discovered 3 weeks ago that a new CD and a new EP were out... after 8 years of Right line in nylons listening ;)

[MrDankDonk]

8 years of 'Right Line In Nylons'?

sounds like a prison sentence...

well, I hope you get as much value for money out of 'Now! That's What I Call.... The Amphetameanies'

and the good news is, we've already got nine conpletely new songs written for album no.3, so there shouldn't be such a big wait again :)

thanks for listening mate.

[Heureverte]

Congrats, that's a really good new for me (and probably for all of your addictive fans) ! I'm will receive soon That's what I call (not sold anywhere in Paris, France), but already got the EP : so good to listen to new (very good) songs from Amphetameanies after so many years !

Say Something Special is a great song too ; I can't stop myself watching the video (funny backward things) ;)

Bravo for the nine of you, Amphetameanies ;)

[stuboy19]

yeah we dont get cable in scotland. we all live in caves and hunt haggis in our skirts.

Anyway, going to see them tonight :D YAsssssssss

[madmacska]

i defy anyone not to move there feet to this....

[Fooblestheclown]

I still love you guys .....xxooFoobles.

[madmacska]

mr foobles{chris i love ur attitude,your the man!!! uk ska is da best

[Fooblestheclown]

I must begin my trek by swimming up the Red river...thru Lake Winnipeg, up the Nelson river to Hudson Bay...stop in Iceland then resume my swim to England and stop by and experience the UK ska scene.

[SBWNik]

I think the meanies know my opinion of this.....

Bugger, feet are off again!

[MrDankDonk]

feet are off again?

need to tighten yir nuts....

[SBWNik]

My nuts are nice and tight thank you.

Sadly :D

[iamcairnsy]

woo they are from glasgow

[Fooblestheclown]

Hey...that keyboard sounds just like the keyboard in Elvis Costello's Pump it up track...

[Fooblestheclown]

Bravo...been watching this video everyday for over a week now...I love when bands produce their own videos. I hate MTV. I hope you don't have cable in Scotland. MTV corrupts creativity.

[Fooblestheclown]

Actually...Foobles is looking pretty good for someone who was born in 64. Still have my hair..I miss the new wave/punk era. I hope this is a indication that it's all coming back.

[Fooblestheclown]

Yes Foobles is now 40 something...and can identify completely with this tune...awsome!

[madmacska]

fucking love this group,,,,we need you in the north west,,ska till i die.

[Oswc12]

SKA!!!!!!!

[Shayakylie]

I LOVE THE SUNNIES!!!!!!

and the rhymy lyrics and the chorousy of BOY! and GIRL!

it reminds me a bit of fat freddy's drop except they are more reggae and kiwianary

which amphetameanies are not cause they are scottish...

[elthommo]

Hadn't seen that before and I must say it is rather splendid - was it really done with no budgies?

[MrDankDonk]

yes, no budgies were harmed in the making of this vidjo

but stan had a chicken pastie at lunchtiume, so I presume a chicken died for that, at some point, maybe a good while beforehand. Could of been natural causes of course. Twas a cheap pastie.

[clattybrown]

I erased this from my favourites (by accident)and couldnt find it again, until I went to 'hoyzo' who has it in faves I'm a happy guy again

Keep on skaing Rudeboys and girls so cooooooool, fantastic wont lose it again

[macaly1]

Cracking song and a good wee vid.

p.s. Janes got a lovely arse.

[MrDankDonk]

yes, I'm a meanie member, and yes there are PLANS for more cheap viddage.

I have been manufacturing cutting edge camera-trcaking technology* specially

* a camera bracket-sized hole has been drilled in a scooter mudguard

[MrDankDonk]

LifeOfLiterature?

you MUST know our keyboard player....

[clattybrown]

5 star plus a special comment

Great job guys, a window to be swooped back to skaville, Loved the style of Rudeboy/Girl

Hope that was special enough Keep on ska ing

[MrDankDonk]

cheers.... you may just have given me sufficient encouragement to get the camera out and make another meanie movie...

[clattybrown]

I hope so as its top class

[lobsternoob]

not a fan, but i really would like to see more ska and punk around rather than mainstream crap, so i applaud this band for putting out music i thought was dead! I may not like it particularly, but ill take it any day over rap.

[ilovefeelincheap]

I know what you mean...It makes me sad there aren't any rude boys/girls around anymore. =( but i am a fan though. =)

[SouthCentralVARudie]

wow! This is a new band to me! Love em!

[ilovefeelincheap]

this band is so cool. they deserve more fame.

[MrDankDonk]

congratulations! you are far and away our most frequent YouTube comment poster.

however, there is no prize as such, just the warm glow of satisfaction :)

[ilovefeelincheap]

=-) my pleasure. I love Amphetameanies and you got me into the ska scene! (i didnt know what ska was before amphetameanies...)

[TEHVANDAL]

damn... we don't have ska bands like this 'cross the pond. but I've been working to start one up somthing similar. being a skinhead myself, I think it's a much needed image in ska. but the video was class.

[stuboy19]

they're playing tuts soon. Either april or may im sure. I urge you all to go see them. Fantastic

[mizvoodoo]

thanks for putting this video up:)

five stars:)
