The Inmates are a British garage rock/pub rock band, formed after the split up of The Flying Tigers in 1977. In the early 1980s, they had a medium sized international hit with a cover of The Standells' "Dirty Water", and a UK Top 40 hit with "The Walk" "Dirty Water" reached #51 in the United States in January 1980.
Around 1981, the lead singer Bill Hurley became ill following a breakdown, and his place was taken for some time by Barrie Masters, who had recently split with Eddie and the Hot Rods. The Inmates continued to record and tour with Masters until he decided to reform the Hot Rods, and Hurley was well enough to return to fronting the Inmates.
In 1987, The Inmates recorded Meet The Beatles, a live album of Beatles' cover version songs. It was re-released on CD with bonus cuts including a live version of "Dirty Water".
One of The Inmates' songs, "So Much in Love" (written by Jagger/Richards), was covered by The Lonely Boys in the mid 1990s.
As of 2007, The Inmates are still working and touring, especially in continental Europe. After thirty years, they still have four of the original five band members, and continue to play both original songs and covers.

That was so well-crafted, and the timing so perfect, I had to keep reminding myself several times during viewing that it was not the official video for the song. I think this is one of your best creative works. Thoroughly enjoyed it - and the song! :)
Now that’s entertainment, baby!
