The Specials Monkey Man Something Else 1979

The impact the Specials had on the whole of the UK in 1979/80 was phenomenal. Two Tone literally changed the entire country overnight.

Thanks for posting this - superb!!!

Just seen them at Brighton - AWESOME. They are back with a bang ..... just get a ticket at all costs and go see them. A very social band who signed all for their fans and stayed for a yarn with them too. Terry Hall is just sooooo cool and what a front-man for a band.

Prince Buster!

Sh.A.R.P Skin, rude boi, Ska band music. This was the best! Ska is not the same now!

What an excellent version .. these guys were professional and flexible and still are .. now get Dammers back! Meantime see my video of Monkey Man filmed live at MFN by Special Brew from Cov!! Ta!

my mom loves this song in the fifties
not done by the Specials but by the original folk artist. She was singing along while i was stoned listening to this album.

I was on my way to Banbury Cross,
Then I see a monkey upon a white horse
With rings on he fingers, bells on him toes
Sing a little song, wherever he be
'Cos he's a monkey, 'cos he's a monkey
'Cos he's a weedy little monkey man

thanks Prot
you're right
i've SEEN NEVILLE SING THIS LIVE NOW

so i can die happy (no joke)

STILL THE BEST JUST WATCHED GLASTO
