Lyrics:
Hello and how are you and how do you do?
And who is that girl standing right next to you?
And what is her name and what does she do?
I'm looking at her while I'm talking to you
Her love must be sweeter than candy
Must be stronger than brandy
Why does she like you not me?
Can I buy you a drink?
You seem a decent chap
I'm friendly to your face but behind your back
What I like most about you is your girlfriend, it's true
Her love must be sweeter than candy
Must be stronger than brandy
Why does she like you not me?
I agree with what you say, I think that it's true
Your girlfriend has only got one fault, that's you
What I like most about you is your girlfriend, it's true
When will we meet again and where will it be?
Why don't you both come over to my house for tea?
I'd rather she came round on her own, yes it's true
Your girlfriend is what I like most about you
What I like most about you is your girlfriend, it's true
What I like most about you is your girlfriend, it's true
What I like most about you is your girlfriend, it's true
What I like most about you is your girlfriend, it's true

I hate it when I go out to the black sweater club in my sailor outfit, just looking for a quick drink, and then an alien lands and tries to steal my girlfriend. Still, that's Shoreditch for you.

The Sailor boy looks like an incredibly handsome model. I wonder where he is now in 2024 ?. Be interesting to have an update with all the actors in this vidio

[@kdeeuk]

sorry guys loved the specials years back, this is not my cup of tea tbh its very out of character

[@joshuaedwards4536]

Anyone still listening to this 80s classic song, in June 2020, despite being locked down?......👍👍👍💯💯💃🕺💃🕺😷😷

[@michellebabicz2143]

Just can’t get why Jerry Dammers is so underrated. Everything he does is iconic. Plus his humour is legendary. Love you, mate!

[@TheChannelofaDisappointedMan]

Everyone in this video is totally in command of their style and attitude.

[@deantunkara1567]

Kathryn Hardy (the girlfriend in the video) was a sight to behold.

[@subscriberightnoworillfindyou]

Man in white outfit is my DT teacher

[@bigbadbillb]

Correction: This is The Special AKA.....different incarnation of The Specials. Terry Hall, Neville Staples and Lynval Golding weren't in this lineup.

[@rickdee7179]

The girl's haircut was the coolest 80's style. Loved it then, and love it now!

[@billsinclair6515]

as someone said, this is the Special AKA. including Rhoda Dakar from the Bodysnatchers, I played in a band (Thisr2Tone) with her and nik walsh supporting the Proclaimers many moons ago, she's still got it baby

[@dirtworksbmxofficial3453]

Toothless bite. Total genius. Maybe the best annotated song of all time. The brass sets the simplicity afire. If you are reading this and listening, and you want to make magic… this is the template 👊😎❤️❤️❤️😉

[@phillipprosser8308]

I left school in 81 and never fully appreciated the amazing contribution the specials made to 70's and 80's music. In later years, I so wish I had embraced them as the music legend they truly are!

[@lincbond442]

The girlfriend in this video is absolutely stunning. Her mannerisms and attitude channel the perfect hot 80's chick.

[@crashvelvet]

I have been looking for this video since it aired, like ONCE, literally, on MTV back in 1984. I have thought of this video ever since. It was amazing to me then, and I see, today, why. Thank you so very much for uploading this video - I didn't think it could be found! I love you!

[@stumagoo2395]

Dammers always made his videos entertaining with his artistry and humour. He also made the Rat Race video amusing by dressing up as a female music teacher with hair in a bun and then capped it all off by smiling at the camera with that famous toothless grin. Legend.

[@andrewbeale2585]

RIP Terry Hall, gone at just 63, truly unbelievable and terrible news. I saw him after The Specials reunited in 2009, at the Hammersmith Apollo. He stood stock still in the middle of the stage, while the crowd went wild. Just brilliant.

[@geekpie100]

I don't have words to describe how good this is.

[@DD-ev2dt]

Such a great jazz feel to this ..... SPECIAL AKA "What I like most about you (Is your girlfriend) classic The genius that is Jerry Dammers 😎✌️👍.

[@johnnyjabsco1999]

Jerry Dammers. So cool. Legend.
