My two best friends in the Navy, Spencer and Joe and mine theme song. Got us through a 9 month Western Pacific cruise in 1985. Still listen to it in 2024!
This song was always played at the end of the Fat Poppadaddy’s retro club night in Cambridge in the 90s, we’d dance to this before the lights came on and everyone headed home at 2am. RIP Terry. Thank you for the music x
I'm so sad to hear about Terry Hall's passing. I grew up on ska punk & reggae. This was one of the bands biggest hits. It still gets my head bobbing. R.I.P. Terry.
Sorry, say it in german: whow, bin 63 Jahre alt, habe diesen irren, irren song aus den 80ern wiederentdeckt und bin nur noch geflasht.......!!!!!!! Höre den song bereits seit ein paar Dutzend mal und kann nicht genug davon bekommen....... :-) Sooooooo great!!!! Terry Hall (Frontsinger)... I Love you for your perfomance.....!!!!! For eternity!!!!
Yes, just a very special music! For very special people! By the way, "Rude" was a Jamaican slang word for cool. The term rude boy may also come from the fact that a rum-based drink was served at so-called sound system parties, which was called "Rude to your parents".
Terry RIP YOU are far too special to pass away ..This is a message to you ,,i have adored you and your band since your beginning ,, What utter joy you have given us your fans xx until eternity i say Jane ❤❤❤❤
One of the best songs ever heard in my life!!!!!!! Suuupergreat!!!!! Love The Specials, especially Terry Hall, sooooo very much!!!!!! Amazing for me.......
Listened to this many years ago. It's just as good as ever. Some music can't pass the test of time, but this song will be played forever. Must be kind of nice to be immortal, eh Specials?
Hear this phantastic song sooooooo very often......Supergreat!!!!! I'm sooooovery impressive..... Thank you, Terry Hall, forever.....!!!!!!! Love you for this beautiful song....
Wow. I'd forgotten how fun this music was. Just saw an article in an Irish online newspaper listing the best 10 ska/punk albums (can't find the link now). Great band, great album.

Tried to look this song up after hearing it a few years ago. It drove me mad that I couldn't seem to find it. After hours and hours of looking I finally found it. And then I realized it didn't say 'A message to Houdini' but 'A message to Rudy' So yeah, how's your week been so far?
This really shows that Sublime really wanted to rise to the levels of all of these famous ska, reggae and dancehall groups, but had to just lift them all straight up in order to try. Not an original bone in their bodies!
The New York Times finally admitted the laptop fiasco was real. Making foreign deals for millions with daddy's name. Just had to hold off till after the election.

I live the mix of rock, reggea and the 50s
I'm not sure why this is my fave Specials tune. I usually like the high energy stuff, but it's got me jumping about in 2023. xx
I saw them live once. They were even better live. Insanity.
Decent enough cover though, I reckon.

Creating problems in town.”

Still a great song in 2022
Hadn't heard it in so long.
It's back, in my current playlist, May 2022. 😎👍
Are used to have the album I think and 82
Classic , a great survivor from the ‘60’s (?) ……not sure when this came out? Not a massive reggae fan , but I like this & ‘Up town, top rankin’, too
1979 if Google is to be believed. 😁👍
This isn't reggae, it's ska
This was released in the autumn of '79.
what a fun song
This is so good.
I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this!!! - punk & skins party, Camberley, Surrey xx ( 7" single!)
I always play this song whenever I have a exams, hopefully my exam actually are having great 🤞
Dont forget The Specials. Raw and honest. The selector. James bond. The killer
Thanks Terry, we all love you, rock on and we’ll see you on the other side! 😭🙏🏽✌🏽
Im so fucking grateful that i got rhis album on vinyl, that how i found them too
Heard this tune in flight school n took it seriously. Now I am an airline pilot.

Que buena canción 😄
The 80's weren't too bad on a certain level 😎🤙🏁
Tried to look this song up after hearing it a few years ago. It drove me mad that I couldn't seem to find it. After hours and hours of looking I finally found it. And then I realized it didn't say 'A message to Houdini' but 'A message to Rudy'
So yeah, how's your week been so far?
I'll start singing A Message to Houdini now.
Thanks for that! 😂

Imagine if they had stayed together and made 7 or 8 albums...
They would have ended up sounding like Sublime :)
@@devilsoffspring5519 is that a good thing or a bad thing? 😁👍

Rip Terry 💚💛❤
This song was written for my nephew, when he met the band in Montreal. Brings back so many memories

I don't know who Sublime is but the Specials wrote plenty of their own tracks.
LOL a message to Rudi Juliani. The words are spot on.
You're an idiot

When I first heard this I thought it was Madness I know better now
why are the comments the same
I think people are trying to push this song into UA-cam's algorithm for more people to listen to through some keyword/tag-spamming.
I'm cool with that, the specials rock!
RIP Terry Hall.
Love it even in 2019
