Fan of The Pogues? Check out their friends Greenland Whalefishers from Norway (est. 1994)! Critics today says Greenland Whalefishers has taken the heritage from The Pogues and developed it into something different and their own. Punk fanzines all over the world describes Greenland Whalefishers as The Pogues on speed or The Pogues turned up to eleven on attitude, speed and sound. Google for Greenland Whalefishers website for more info, videos and lyrics!!!
It's still a cover, The Specials covered Dandy Livingstone, the original version was recorded in the 60's, most of the Special's better songs were covers. They were still great regardless, this is a great find, would have loved to been there.
Look I didnt know who Rudy was either. I just knew it was a great song by Dandy Livingstone. Big E it never hurts to ask if you dont know. Thanks Chuckles for the info.
rudy is not a specific person. It's an abbreviation for rudeboys. They were originally young men who were unhappy with the social and political situation in jamaica. They dressed like the upperclass(suits, porkpies)as a mockery. The term was later changed somewhat when the thrid wave of ska came around, and it sort of meant a rudeboy or girl was anyone who liked ska. Keep skanking!
