I`m 48 mate , I know exactly how you feel , but hey fuck it you only live once ( so they say ) get them dancing shoe`s on and get out there moon stomping . ( as soon as this corona pop shite has gone ) , until then stay safe fella
Terry Hall and the specials has left a great legacy after his passing will always be remembered for the brilliant songs they wrote and great cover versions
51 years old from the midlands. It was a bizarre time musically, I got stoned with and pissed with many of these folks and some of these guys could really play ... I`m just glad you appreciate it instead of the usual shite in the charts now. kudos, you have good taste.
Jeezus Eggsy, you make me feel old 😃 I was 15 when the Specials first album was released in 1979. I bought it using my paper round money and many others. I’ve loved ska music my whole life and as a 57 year old grandad I play it to my wee grandkids. Keep skanking brother. Stay S.H.A.R.P. 👍
I love being 55 years old...otherwise i would have missed this band Lived in a shite town in north east Lived in a shite street Lived in a shite house Went to a shite school Muther grafting all day , dad on the dole, not a pot to piss in Economy fucked, emplyment fucked, education fucked ......... But hey we had 2 Tone.... couldnt wait for friday night disco....All dressed immaculately at 6 oclock, by 10 oclock we were sweaty drunken happy teens..
I hear ya mate!! I also lived in a shite town in the North East, I also lived on a shite street, in a shite house with a cunt father who was always pissed and angry because of the mine closures. I also had mother who was angry at her children because of my dads bullshit ways and his zero zest or hope in life anymore. I fucking hated where I grew up. I hated the school. I hated the area. Everybody was so fucking miserable because there were nee jobs, there was nee money, nee hope, nee nowt. But when Friday night came around, everybody was oot and partying and forgetting, but come Monday it was all doom & gloom again. Then the Indie seen hit late 80's and early 90's - bosh!! Everybody was oot from Friday to the following Friday on their magic smarties. Good times!!
Real skinhead vibes, no bonehead shite…I been listening to this stuff since high school. Long live two tone, long live traditional skinhead culture. Long live the specials
Weren't skins though. Terry openly said he hated being considered anything to do with skinhead culture. Suggs from madness also said he wasn't interested in skinheads coming to their shows.
Micheal wow you’re tech savvy at 70, I’m in my 50s & most of my friends r gone now, you’re obviously on point, it’s mad that there’s people still of our age appreciate these tunes x
Just spent a glorious 6 minutes dancing to this with my 3 year old daughter! "Who's this daddy?" "This is The Specials." "I like this song daddy!" I knew she would do
great music the specials god rest terry hall rip im a 1979 revivalist mod and im from brum but i love the specials im 60 still going strong mods & skins & rudies together fantastic !!!! all the mods !!!!!
@@milanstoj4416 Skinhead moonstomp was used by Symarip with a lyric change but the tune itself was originally called the Moon Hop, By Derrick Morgan, however both equally as good,
Yes, there is an extremely strong similarity to the Derrick Morgan, of which I own a copy. Isn’t it odd that he doesn’t get a writing credit..As you are probably aware, the name, Symarip, is derived from the original name of the band, the Pyramids...well almost!
2:24 how they break into that rhythmic chant is simply TOO GOOD 🌴🌅🌎 They could have stretched that out another couple of minutes and I wouldn't hate 'em for it.
Loved getting my head shaved at 14 and becoming a skinhead in 69 loved all the aggro at elland road still going to scooter rally's and been in the ska tent hearhills Mick greenwood aka tealeaf
I'm in my 50s and still have skinhead like Terry Hall great music the ska and takes me back to my youth never get fed up to ska 2tone takes me back to the late 1970's when music was played on instruments without the entire key.
Listening to this in honour of an old school buddy…Russell Hendren AKA BIG ‘SESS’ Sadly passed away in a house fire last summer 23…… All through high school he was a punk, a skinhead, Rude Boi & maybe even a Rastafarian…….but NEVER as I was ……a Mod…lol
The Skinhead Symphony in Three Movements recorded as part of a 3 track session for the John Peel show on 15/10/79, including Rude Boys Outa Jail and Rat Race. As close to capturing the atmosphere and buzz of a live performance as there will ever be. So much so, that even The General was convinced it was a live recording when he djed in Coventry on 18/10/19 at Drapers bar, where he played a reggae and ska set. Earlier he had played a "library music" set at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum for Liverpool electronic-pop girl trio, Stealing Sheep, a show which paid tribute to electronic music pioneer, Coventry-born, Delia Derbyshire.
Great to find someone else combining an interest in 2 Tone with Delia Derbyshire (the beautiful brains behind the Original and Best Dr Who theme). Just watched the docu on DD - what a shame the BBC didn't really value her talents.

This is The Specials' version of Long Shot Kick De Bucket and Skinhead Moonstomp. The original is by The Pioneers.
and symarip
Long Shot by the Pioneers, Liquidator by Harry J All Stars and Moonstomp by Symarip...
@@milanstoj4416 Skinhead moonstomp was used by Symarip with a lyric change but the tune itself was originally called the Moon Hop, By Derrick Morgan, however both equally as good,

Me recuerda 1995 en Bogota colombia cuando la ola ska llego yo toque en una banda ❤
