The Specials - You're Wondering Now

[ZeppelinPistol]

:D

[hollytyler39]

when they sang this w/ amy it sounded really cool

[tes74]

Last song to be played at the gig at the SECC in Glasgow on Tuesday night...... Me, my partner and our 15 yr old daughter were there..... And what a night it was...!! :)

[promisedeyes]

Now this is my kind of music! :3

[ayrblu]

Great stuff...what a band they were.

[MrJohnnyhercules]

@ayrblu still are my friend they come home to cov next sat, can't wait

[btgmofo]

i wish music was still like this.....

[Kits6568]

What's with the top comment? "It is a cover, but what a cover!" WHAT?!

[monkeyhanger24]

@Kits6568 "You're Wondering Now" was originally performed by The Skatalites; a vocal version was recorded by duo Andy and Joey in 1964.

[elvengadordebronce]

wow

[krisssta1]

Have some respect for those that are deceased. This is a Specials video anyway, so why bring your opinion about another artist into it? R.I.P. THE INSANELY TALENTED AMY WINEHOUSE. She had an amazing voice, and that is fact, not opinion.

[HeWhoAvoidsTheLight]

Hell yes...fuck that junk-bag Winehouse...who needs her.

[stephena260]

Best song on one of the best albums ever made!!!!

Love the harmonies.

[mrcarpetride]

I know The Specials. I used to chat to Jerry Dammers in The Royal Oak pub in Coventry right opposite Lanchester Polytechnic Art Faculty. We would drink Guinness and eat cheese batches.

[ryanneglect]

rip amy

[NUTSTARR]

[tacticalplaya]

[manusmau]

You're wondering now, little bitch Amy.

[gimmelikkle]

Am thinking about Amy now I hear this....

[twackerx]

Thanks for posting this, brings back old memory's...

[AwesomeKennyJames]

If you want some good rock steady check out the moonhops.

Need I mention streetlight manifesto for the extreme end of what ska is now.

Long live peter tosh

[7paully7wally7]

Have a listen to REEL BIG FISH and the AGGROLITES. F**king jumping.

[ricjackal]

Saw the Specials in 1981 when i was on the roadie crew for

ub40 Brilliant but so then were Madness Heptones and even Bad Manners and a group called Red sox who never went mainline

[girlinthefrontrow]

this is like...the story of my life/all my relationships (not just "love life" wise)

[MrJockstar1]

fucking epic man...

[messymik100]

this song is at the end of the specials record i have, and it always makes me feel sad because the records over and then i don't know what to do now that it's at the end.

[MrMephisto89]

@messymik100 Play it again? oO

[markdon94]

amazing

[edwardkent]

if only the extreme right wing hadn't hijacked the skinhead movement.....we could maybe have been living in a wonderful world....................do the dog.

[MrKazzi0]

i want this on my funeral!!!

[semislouw123]

Does anyone know a site where the guitar music of this song can find it?

[nedsammy]

when i first heard the knocking at the start i thought there was someone coming into my room. scared the crap out of me.

[DinoVice]

i remember some cunt said THE SPECIALS ARENT SKA.. THERE TWO TONE.. I SAID THAT WAS THERE RECCORD LABEL THAT THE KEYBOARDIST STARTED YOU DUMB CUNT.. JUST BECAUSE IT SAYS THIS IS TWO TONE DOESNT MEAN ITS THE FORM OF MUSIC YOU PRICK..

[rosiegirl001]

LMFAO

[colombimac]

SKA never dies..... Nunka muere.....

[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??!!!

[40pints]

COME ON YA SKINS ! WE NEED YA NOW.,there sucking uz dry

Love the part in Gross Point Blank when Minnie Driver tells John Cusack, "Ya keyant come in."

does anyone remember the 1980 school film, where they all go on a field trip, and at the end the lonely kid goes up in a tree and shoots himself coz e don't wanna go back.... then this song comes up... tough stuff

[casiui]

Thats the best ! always makes me crying.

[c1modernist]

Lanc (Cov) Poly, '81. Miss you so much, and we we did wonder, you had it so right.

[and3w]

@RD21108 - yeah, they were great times, but 'no drugs'? You're having a laff, 'backstreet blues' were the backdrop to most of the two tone times, as I remember it...

[StirlingTrafalgar]

Every friday evening we used to go to a local "dance/disco" where the DJ would play a carousel of SKA, MOD and new romantic/modern music. Whilst one of the others were playing you would stare at the dancers, and they would return the compliment when our music was played. Wicked times, bring back the "CALI DISCO"

[kingrob29]

You caan't come In!!

[NattyFido]

I want this played at my funeral!! Rude boy till the end!!!!

[alibootboy]

@NattyFido you said it man, you fkn said it. respect.

[62budgie]

[195477]

The original was done by The Skatalites in the late 50s early 60s they acked Andy and Joey who recorded it in 64.They did their own version in the 90s.

I heard a great "roots" version of this with two guys singing.

I assume it was the original but who were they?.

Answers on a postcard.

[tes74]

Was it maybe Andy & Joe.. they performed the original in the 60's...the skatalites were their backing band i think...!! :)

[Prizm2356]

I first heard this song when Amy Winehouse was singing it and I loved it and now hearing this earlier version I love it as well. I did listen to the original 60's version and it seemed to drag

[xchivsx]

your wandering now what to do now you know this is the end

your wandering how you will pay for the way you did behave

[sallym1864]

[unhacker]

You are - a saint. Oh man that hit the spot.

[FrawstbyteEXG]

thanks for uploading this, man!

The Specials are amazing...

[honestyoungman]

" wat piss's me off is that we are all excited its getting to a point that reunion is getting so near.... and then we get rumours that jerry says terry's manager doesnt want jerry to be part of it...i mean wat the fuck..they should just do it for the millions of fans who grew up with this music forget the dam politics and start actin like true musicians cos believe me their not gettin any younger!!!

[honestyoungman]

it was cos of the specials that we discovered wat ska music was...and i must say it was"SKA-TASTIC" cant wait for them to start touring again..true legends!!!

[tes74]

i totally agree with you.. although i have heard conflicting stories, ive heard they are reforming for a tour then i have heard that they arent .. lets just keep our ears and eyes open!! Thank you :)

[Boogieboy138]

i love this song, it calms me down if im angry or pissed at something

[tes74]

[gunznlungz]

[tes74]

Hey sorry ... this is me just noticing your comment... thank you for stopping by :)

[soysaucegirl2007]

I am lucky in that I was 'there'. I sent the band a letter when I was 12 years old. God knows what I said - probably something very stupid. All I remember was, a month or so after Ghost Town reached number one, I received a letter which had their signatures in it. The envelope had the words SWALK across the seal('sealed with a loving kiss'). I still go red remembering it. Oh, my heart!

[tes74]

Oh my fecking god..that must have been amazing you lucky thing you... do you still have the letter ... wow i am well impressed..:D

[soysaucegirl2007]

No no...I have nothing from that age still with me! But listening to The Specials and seeing old footage reminds me of how they made me feel. They were on the point of breaking up back then, but they still cared about their fans - bless. Thanks for putting this song up.

[ChrisTheCat21]

I get on with people who are older than me better than I do my own age, and like they introduced me to ska, and it's made me realize what a bland generation I come from, there's no soul to us-and there is a soul to this (btw i'm 21)

[tes74]

We all wish for different things.... i would have loved to have been a teenager in the 60's.... as much as i loved the 80's...i love the 60's for the clothes..some of the music but mostly for the scooters... thank you ..:D
