- Official audio for Symarip's skinhead anthem from 1969
Formed in the mid-Sixties by seven young British-based musicians of Afro-Caribbean descent, Symarip first made their mark as the Bees, supporting Prince Buster on a nationwide tour in 1967. Soon after, the group was signed to President, changed their name to the Pyramids and found UK chart success with ‘Train Tour To Rainbow City’.
By the close of the decade they were recording under a number of aliases, notably the Seven Letters and Symarip, and it was as the latter that they achieved their greatest UK success, ‘Skinhead Moonstomp’. Greatly inspired by Derrick Morgan’s ‘Moon Hop’, which made the British pop charts early in 1970, the recording became the most successful record of all time to name-call skinheads, the UK youth movement who widely embraced the exciting new reggae sound sfrom Jamaica, so proving instrumental in introducing the genre into mainstream British consciousness.
Although not a chart hit at the time of its release, the track finally made its way onto the UK chart listings in 1980, following the Specials’ celebrated live rendering of the song, which featured on their best-selling 'Too Much Too Young (The Special A.K.A. Live)' EP, which became a Number One pop hit on 2 February of that year.

SKINHEAD MOONSTOMP LYRICS
I want all you skinheads to get up on your feet
Put your braces together and your boots on your feet
And give me some of that old moonstomping
Get ready, we got three million miles to reach on the moon
So let's start getting happy now, ready?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Now, before we reach on the moon, fellas
We got to make sure that everything is spic and span, alright?
We got to make sure you shine your boots, brush your teeth
Because the man on the moon looking different from man on the Earth
That's what I said boys
Now remember, I am your boss skinhead speaking, my name is Caleb
Alright, and remember, I'm the boss
You can see, look at my boot, or my feet, or whatever you want to call it
And you can see I've got the biggest boots, that's not right
Now, when I say "sing", I want everyone to get in the groove and start singing because we're on the moon
Ready?
One time, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Now, I want all you fellas to gather around me,
And we're gonna start stomping, ready?
Here we go, one time
Now, we want to make sure when we get back on the earth
We've got the moon on top of us
Now, while we finish this thing on the top of the moon
We have to wait till we get back to earth to have a drink, okay?
Alright!
Now, we want to make sure that everybody is still in the groove when we get back
So let's start singing one more time Ready?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah! Aha!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah!
Come on, moonwalk, moonwalk, come on, moonwalk!
Skinheads, I'm your boss..

Working class.

Correct and their style was exceptional
But they beat up gays
Not that anyone will read this, but I'm just sitting here smiling listening to this. My stepdad died a few years ago and left me his record collection, knowing I loved the format. When he was still alive, I'd always say to him "We have to get your records down one day because I'd love to see what you listened to!" and he'd always say "one day, one day". Unfortunately that day never came, but I finally started bringing them down today and this was one of his records. Robbie loved reggae, ska, rocksteady, roots..all of that. This too, he loved Trojan. We didn't have the best of relationships, until he was diagnosed with cancer and we decided to leave all that shit behind us because it wasn't worth it. Seeing all his records now he's had since he was a teenager with his little labels on them so his brothers wouldn't nick them, some written on there in that messy teenage boy's handwriting.. I feel closer to him that I ever have, that's our one connection. Music. That and going to watch Cambridge United. Anyway, I just needed to write this out. I miss you Robbie mate, wish you were here with Mum instead of me. See you again one day.
I forgot about this song. Its a gem. Your dad is dancing with you. Have fun.
Thats awesome. He had great taste.
Man its amazing how music brings people together. You with your stepdad, us with you and now us with your stepdad. Sorry for you loss man, ive lost alot of people on this journey aswell. My best friend overdosed a few years ago and theres this one aphex twin track me and him both loved. When i hear it i feel like hes here with me. Glad you found something like that like i did. Love from one rudeboy to another bro.
That's was very moving to read my friend, thank you for telling us, it made me think a lot
This music is the sound of love and unity! What a treasure you found…. You are the custodian of memories! Find peace in the music. x
Play it at my mum's funeral she was 86 the place went mad what a send off she loved life and liked a good time rip mum
she watching u brother much love
Maximum blessings to ya mum Seen! Wicked track as Lord Ranking wud seh....love n light one love one life Skinheads rule!

for you youngins out there, this is the Skinhead roll call. to the dance floor!
It is. My poppa taught me well
@@the90shangover but Skrewdriver before 1986 rocked.
@@the90shangover Why exactly did skinheads turn from being associated with Ska ravers, to being associated with Nazi bellends? I was single-digit age at the time so I never understood that.
@@kookadams85 Yeah, but they scum, so trade that Skrewdriver badge for some of this - Oi!
@@Oi-nu7gh I understand , I'm sayin Skrewdriver from 77-85 were a solid rockNroll group/ 87 n after they were lame.
I'm 64 but feel like a teenager right at this moment listening to this tune fab
Snap!
Met my future husband in 1979.
We were saying last week, we'd buy Melody Maker/NME every week to see where we'd be going that weekend.
We'd jump a train and somehow get to Camden or Islington and see Madness etc whenever we could. Tickets were only a few quid!
He'd be there with all his mates, I'd be there with mine. We'd all end up dancing, drunk, smoking...having gone out with less than 20 quid! If we were lucky we'd get the last train out of Charing X or the night bus home to S.E London. We'd always meet loads of people we knew on there too.
Funny tho, cos we never gave much thought about how we'd get home😂!
Great times.....
The days of my youth in London , 1969 / 1970 , Crystal Palace area . I hung-out with these great guys ....The Skinheads....played soccer with them on the Commons , listened to reggae music , wore bovver boots , braces , chequered shirts , and pork pie hats .....Those were days of my youth I will always cherish. I'm 72 now .
I miss those times so much. Feel like a round peg in a square hole nowadays in this country xx
yes brother, good times indeed
Soccer? Are you not from these shores
33. Here. You guys would have looked fkn amazing man. Proper skins
Up the eagles
Late 60s Early 70s Skinhead .
Guisborough North East England.
Still a Skinhead today at 68.
Skinheads Life Would Never Be The Same.
Skinheads in my day I'm talking 69- 70 we were sharps,u no what I mean .best days good music good friends good style 70 now still luv reggae. Much love people.
As a rude boy I can respect the skin culture, much love to my skinhead brothers and skinbyrd sisters around the world!
Much respect, Latino rude boy 4 life!
I wa there 52 now, me feelings still strong don't work in vese " modern times" lol x
Rude boi!
Locos Mexicana skinhead pride
😎👌
I loved the days dressing as a mod girl....love ska.❤
Absolutely right, being a skinhead had nothing to do with race or colour, it was all about the music, and the clothes, the look. It was a celebration of Jamaican culture and music, and particularly Jamaican music, rather than Caribbean music as a whole, which has many different genres and styles of Reggae music all fantastic in their own way 😊
And most of all, it was about being proud of being working class, no matter what your color or creed. That at the end of the day, you can have a pint with the boys, listen to reggae/ska, and celebrate your wins and losses with the crew, and no bosses, cops or politicans can take that away.
My ol man was a MOD. He still got a lot of his tattoos and pictures with me on his lap on his Vespas and other scooters with all his patches and his people round him. I’ve always gravitated to the skinheads for some reason or another. The music, the style, the characters behind all that. Mental. You love to see it. Peace and blessings to all🇬🇧💙
From moon 🌙, never argue brothers, we're all the same, we're skins? I'm 62! Once a skin, it's life?
Oi!
As a modern Skinhead, I abstain, no feel disgraced, that the beautiful youth cult turned into fascists and racists. I'm Seventeen, and I wear my doc's with pride and my braces with soul. Ska, Reggae, Rock steady, Punk, Hard core, and Ska core, is what unites me with my brothers and sister from all around the world.
Sekkō Hagane indeed bro! I found this gem not too long ago, all I need no are my doc martens :D sad how few people know about this gem of a genre. I'd rather listen to this all day than 95 percent of the "modern" horseshit.
same brother.
Same brother
Tell em, fresh cut.
Nerd....
I am proud to say I was there in 1970 as a 13 year old wannabe skinhead over the fairground in Dagenham moon stomping to this great days buying this lp tighten up reggae chartbusters, love it
Best days of my life brothers in arm's skinhead from the age of 11 now 66 one of my favourite tunes together with skinhead girl and liquidator happy days
Love it I was about 13 I'm my silver painted army boots couldn't afford DMs , remember I'm the Boss my man
This is from the era when Mods and Skinheads loved reggae, before the media branded them as racist, anti-black boot boys.
I played a lot of soccer with them , and even bought myself a pair of bovver boots and a cheque shirt . Those were the days of my youth....1969 .
Played this as my uncles funeral song forever in my mind this song every time I hear it played it brings happiness
let's make skinhead music great again :D
I even bought myself : a pork-pie hat , a chequered shirt , and bovver boots ....Those were great days , the days of my youth .
Absolutely correct no racism it originated, all brothers
My mum was a skinhead she loved SKA and her doc martins and go fight the opposite football team lol xx R.I.P mum fly high xxxxxx 😢😢

@@richardmay854 say "hi" to your brother Harry for me... And, if you should see the two brothers "Stinky Pummels" and "Hervon" being rude together, tell them Prince Buster says; "so long; sorry you had to go, so soon."
1969 what a year we all black and white young people danced,and lived ,and loved.
I was born in that middle of nineteen sebenty seben...
Nine MUNTHS before nine YEARS before this... (give or take)
Maybe that's why I can give + take ;)
Roll an' rock an' no aks me why or where or when...
This has one of the most uplifting choruses you'll find in any song, and a beat that grabs you from the word go. Goes to the feet and to the heart.

Anyone remember enjoying this on the radio playing GTA: London? :)

Did you ever read "The Paint House"? It's a very interesting book.. essential reading for anyone interested in the true beginnings of skinhead culture. It contains many extensive interviews with the Collingwood skins of East London.. essentially where it all began. They were interviewed by Daniel and McGuire for the book. They were the original Skinheads who started the fad involving tens of thousands of British kids within a year. Then the eight month period known as the "Fad of '69" began the diversification of Skinhead.. I think many mistake this with the beginnings.. by '69 it was well established. Today, of course, there are white power skinheads, anti-racist, gay, and so-called "trads," short for traditional, among others. The various groups operating beneath the Skinhead banner debate whether the original Skinheads were racist or listened to reggae. "The Paint House", which precedes modern debate by many decades, definitively answers both questions: The original Skinheads were actually very racist and did not listen to reggae, because to them "it was was black music." The original Skinheads ranted mostly against black immigrants living in England, but also against Pakistanis and Jews. Skinheads were actually violently racist from the beginning. Anybody wanting to learn the origins of the worldwide racist Skinhead phenomenon, must read The Paint House. Yes, by all means, there were obviously anti-racist skinheads, but they really became a movement in much later years, I'd imagine you were a Sharp probably in the 80s? But, not the originals.. people saying that the original skinheads were anti-racist is simply not true.. regardless of how anyone feels on the matter or what they tell themselves to make themselves feel better about it. But reality is reality. I personally believe the origins were more racist than many know or wish to admit. A lot of the people who claim "It wasn't racist in the beginning" weren't there.. and if you really press them on the matter, usually are quite unknowledgeable on the origins, I find.

Not an easy book to find. The few that copies I was able to find are very expensive. Found a used copy for $100, that one is on the cheaper side. @@Sinnerboy88
I liked this back in the day I had it on vinyl 🤩😊😎🤗
"Made in Britain: The Rise & Fall of Skinheads" by Mark Gullick on _Counter-Currents_ brought me here.
ive just dedicated this to a prick who didnt believe me about skinhead origins...and he was black..."skinheads didnt not listen to reggae"....a joy to prove him wrong but understood that due to his age and media bullshit...he had no idea about this stuff
12 or 13 year old wanna be skinhead at the youth club. Ben Sherman, tonic stay press and monkey boots. Oh anda crombi.Thought I was the bees knees 🤣🥰
So.... just to be clear, this is like, a different kind of skinhead, right? I'm uh, new to Ska.
Oi from the Isle of wight 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏁🏁
Skinhead from the early 80s. Still Love reggae
Original skinhead girl here...Just loved this tuneee..
Who's from sex education ? 😂
Me!
I'm no skinhead, but wow, this is absolutely fun!
I look at my back and see my Trojan records tattoo and the laurel wreath around it, and think “god I miss those days” now I’m a cowboy in the middle of no where. I still keep my docs shined in my closet.
No, original skinheads WERE Jamaicans. We adopted the fashion and the music. Best days of my misspent youth. Long live SKA n REGGAE
Skinheads was a cult leading from a music genre that made racist look lame aka bone heads natzi.clueless pricks trying to stop a genuine movement for the better of music
Abit like this woke bullshit society we live in right now.🏴
Its such a fucking shame what the nat-front and american clowns did with the concept of the skinhead. People dont even believe me when I tell them skinhead was a reggae and football working class thing, that grew out of jamaican rude-boy culture, not the whack hateful nob-ends people seem to think now. It was all about the working class and enjoying life with your crew, not hateing on folks.
Hi my mom died in 2019 aged 86 and after the funeral we all went back to the club for a drink and when this record came on all the place when mad she didn't drink but she would have loved it so live life and enjoy what we have now
This is when Music was a feeling - its All about VIBRATION we are made that way !! Our very souls are connected to VIBRATION its the fabric of this world 🌎
Leeds, Roundhay Park...carnival Time.....summer of 69...
this a classic, my dad was teddy boy then rocker also didnt have best of relations but taking me back to this roll call is pricless we wernt all bad a** skinheads my ol man threw my crombie and boots away but just looking up and around while dancing felt family.. enjoy when you play and know he was dancing to this ;) stay safe
Skinhead Anthem 60 Original
I know a lot of people still not educated r they ?
IMA skinhead not a bonehead I c a bonehead I stomp a bonehead
I was a skinhead but I had hair down to my waist haha. sta press trousers and ben sherman and boots. The sheepskin and the boys all had vespa scooters. We thought we were so edgy sitting on the back us girls.
How the Old stuff lives on, new stuff will never take the same route. It was a way of life, it was a Community a Culture
I was skin girl back in 1970 and I loved it all we weren't bad kids we had respect but they called us racist and I can remember when I was skin many black kids hung around with us no tension between race at all
I am a original rudie from the 60s skinheads saved my life trojan massive forever take that from a Jamaican one love
I used to be the"other" kind of skinhead. I thought s.h.a.r.ps were traitors to the movement...turns out I may have been slightly wrong.
I treasure my original copy of this so much, the cover :D
Yea Yea Yea Yeah Yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!
sneaking into centenery rooms barnsley civic, sta press ,braces,button down checked shirt, heaven for a 11 year old skin!
Keep going on and enjoy being young i was there 68 and my friends still wear their doc and some are over 70 we still meet up every 2 month they come from all over enjoy

Skinhead 1969
Coming up 46. Always will be a tradskin as stated by my hand tattoo. Once a skinhead always a skinhead. 🇬🇧 queen and country, boots and braces. Boots and braces don’t make a racist.
I was a rude boy aged 12 in1980 had black Harrington jacket black waffle trousers and weegens black penny loafers white socks and a pork pie hat.I thought I was like Prince buster.Until my mother saw I was dressed like a thug in her opinion!no chance of doc martens cause of skinheads to her were bad.The irony is when I started wearing casual clobber ie lacoste,kickers and pringle jumpers she loved it.
Goosebumps!! ❤️
