[@michaelbinney9913]

1980 two-tone suits made to measure from market out to disco at youth club to listen to ska lol fantastic period to live in.

[@matrix26uk]

Been listening to Ska for 40 years now. Thank you 2 tone!

[@joelmedina7209]

Same here brother

[@mindrolling24]

Near the end, when they seamlessly kick up the tempo- that’s talent. Genius.

[@t0mpr1c3]

it segues into skinhead moonstomp...

[@lisa1gas]

Yet another classic ska-2 Tone track from the one and only The Specials!

[@oughtonoughton2634]

Wow if your feet and legs are not moving you are dead xx There guys are so special xxx i have adored them since their beginning lol Jane x

[@saulcortez8403]

Love this band, some of the best music ever recorded, also great live caught up w/ them @ the Icehouse and at Hollywood Bowl was able to meet them what a bunch great guys, absolutely PLEASANT!!!

[@JaySouth-k9f]

Wow. I never had expected the people in this band to have collaborated they way they did to form this excellent band. What a GREAT GROUP!!!

[@stevenmccart1597]

I was working in the oilfield in Oklahoma. They had no good music there. I flew home and bought as much good music as I could.(especially all two tone music) we rocked Oklahoma!!

[@jamiegrieve5875]

And what did they think about it over in America

[@maskmarvin803]

There's still no good music.

[@raymeydobbin]

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are keeping SKA alive and I thank them for it. Old enough to have been around for The Specials. AWESOME

[@aubreylanham4705]

one of the best tunes ever, always make you get up and dance. Best days of music.

[@philipcarrigan4352]

Before the grave, listen to the live version (special A.K.A live), and you will get back on your feet instantely. may be it help......😎

[@pendragonU]

Rude boys/grrls don't die, they just kick the bucket and keep stomping in the other side

[@lukewilliams2573]

Used to run my brother's Too Much Too Young EP on his girlfriend's suitcase turntable, when I was flat-sitting theirs. Best version imo

[@janeough45]

ive been in love with these guys for a long time weve had a special bond ,,it will be until eternity xx lol

[@Khabirov88]

Thats my fav song.

[@richardwightman]

You will have a great time at T in the park watching the mighty Specials, they cracked America and the far east and for me have influenced a generation. Went to see them for the first time in April as I was just too young in 1980 and was blown away. Have a great time mate , wish I could be there.

[@GARYK1968]

[@Compression_Socks]

42 years of ska under my belt. All waves. Ska'd 4 life!

[@johnpluck6126]

Addictive & rightly so! One of the very few two tone that meant something!!

[@smudgsmith]

oh we are blessed those of us who were there in 1979 when the specials hit us like a tsuami of top ska tunes radical lyrics FUCKING CLASS

[@shinyoneincarnate5565]

Written by Gordon/Sidney Crooks/Jackie Robinson/George Agard. The original is by The Pioneers, (founding members Winston Hewitt, Derrick Crooks, Glen Adams). On The Pioneers record was Crooks, Robinson, & newest member Geo Agard (Desmond Decker's 1/2 brother).

[@misteredison2175]

This isn't the original but it's good! I was in a band once that got to open for The Specials..and I'll never forget it!!

About a horse that died at a race held at Caymanas Park Kingston.

[@mastercoc]

This tune gets better every time I here it.

[@davidripley2916]

My Pork Pie hat lasted 2 days before a taxi klled it. Coventry restored, my love of Ska + Bluebeat + moonstomp fun, I wish Bodysnatcers were bigger and Paline Black' Selector elevated things ON MY RADIO! Love that energy and remember Ranking Roger exhorting the P.M. to "Stand Down Margaret". Special's version of Long Shot lifted my mood every time . Passing of Nev Staples was a downer; I liked him.

[@axlrose2461]

Top skankin' tune, very fresh! X
