The Specials, one of the best bands to come out of the 70s and 80s

How many gets the reference to the last line “Try wearing a cap”.😳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🤠👍

British chart music in the 70’s & 80’s was a lot more social commenty than music now. And I miss that.

[sirslice]

Great choice. This is a live version, fairly close to the studio version. When I saw them perform, I was singing along to this one ...LOUD!

[kevinkingsley]

British post punk era. A 60's mod revival was happening and along with it came the 2Tone lable and the British Ska bands.
Check out The Selector, The Beat and early Madness.

great how bands used to tackle social problems, unlike joyless crap we get now

[RD-dlms]

Fun fact: Specials singer Terry Hall co-wrote the Go-Go's "Our Lips are Sealed".

[jeezoh]

This was the version released as a live ep. The version on the debut album is a lot slower and is six minutes long.

I had a friend, Richard and he followed them around the Midlands and often got on stage and danced with them at at concerts but most of the audience were there too!

[cromptoniser]

Shocking that you've never heard these songs

[RD-dlms]

From the same city (Coventry) and era as Hazel O'Connor; one of your earlier subjects.

[rebeccarichardson]

I'm in love with this😊 It makes you wanna move.

[colrhodes]

Many moons ago, my brother used to drive me nuts with this song and many other ska songs.

[ThePntthomson]

Great song bringing back many memories. Pretty sure some uk media outlets banned this song as it was about teenage pregnancy. How times have changed.

[Nuron]

Nice reaction Hanier Family.
You folks should do 'On my Radio' by Selecter
They are also a British ska band that were around during the Specials.

[darrenkidd]

Like punk when this was played you got on the dance floor and it was a cross between dancing and fighting for me and my mates in late seventies early eighties it was brilliant what a buzz occasionally a fight did break out but so what, this is England it’s how it was then we were just letting off steam

[richey]

Great reaction....love curried goat too 😋

[punkpopnotdead]

[geordietone.]
