Favourite Two Tone song

[PaoloRossiJohnson]

'stop you're messing around'

aaah-aaaaaah ah

 

[Dandyman]

Madness played that night too, lots of skinheads on the 1.06am train back to hastings, not scarey if you were 15 and been on the ciders.

Favourite 2 tone track Concrete jungle - specials

Trains after 11.35 - I'd almost forgotten that !

 

[Brighton Breezy]

The Brighton to Hastings late night train tends to be littered with skag heads these days.

 

[Stinky Kat]

The Brighton to Hastings late night train tends to be littered with skag heads these days.

well 20+ years ago it was littered with skin heads, punks and drunks

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Dont know if this counts, Free Nelson Mandela,always liked it

 

[driddles]

Ranking Full Stop - The Beat

I'd be 20 pounds heavier if Ska music was not in my life

 

[Simster]

Ghost Town The Specials for me

Quality. Always reminds me of Father Ted!

 

[*Gullsworth*]

I hope they bring a new version of stand down Tony.

I reckon it would be a massive hit.

Mmmmmm...................bet if you went to a ska concert in the 80s you would have choked on the lyrics!

 

[The Large One]

Quality. Always reminds me of Father Ted!

Why?

 

[Willow]

Favourite 2 tone track Concrete jungle - specials

Yes, especially the live version at the end of the Dance Craze album. I've never seen the accompanying film, does anyone know if it is available anywhere?

 

[zefarelly]

concrete Jungle
nite club

the Specials ruled, happy days !

 

[Simster]

Why?

Presumably you haven't seen the top drawer episode where they raffle the car.

You can normally get copies on ebay.

 

[33057 Seagull]

Too much Too Young - The Specials

& Pauline Black

 

[upnorthnow]

You can normally get copies on ebay.

And they typically go for about £20 for the video (it was never released on DVD)

I bought a copy someone had transferred to DVD - not great but OK

Maybe i should do a few here for the L&K fund?

 

[Trufflehound]

That was by The Selecter.

Yeah, sorry for bouncing old threads and all that, but...

I went to see The Selecter last night and have to say they were excellent. Was a bit dubious about paying to watch a bunch of old farts who haven't had a hit in over a quarter of a century, but was pleasantly surprised. And Pauline Black is still looking pretty good after all this time (I guess jumping up and down every night for 30 years would keep you fit).

Even got a kiss off the lovely Ms Black at the end. - (If they were going to charge 20 bleeding Euros for a T-shirt I felt it was my duty to negotiate for a few "extras" to be thrown in.)

 

[Zesh Rehman]

Sharpest lyrics/tune/song dynamics/sax solo/the works in the whole of 2-tone was by The Beat

Mirror in the bathroom
please talk free
The door is locked
just you and me.
Can I take you to a restaurant
that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself
while you are eating.
Mirror in the bathroom
I just can't stop it,
Every Saturday you see me
window shopping.
Find no interest
in the racks and shelves
Just ten thousand reflections
of my own sweet self, self, self...
Mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom...
Mirror in the bathroom
Recompense
For all my crimes
of self defense.
Cures you whisper
make no sense
Drift gently into
mental illness.
Mirror in the bathroom
please talk free
The door is locked
just you and me.
Can I take you to a restaurant
that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself
while you are eating.
Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom...






One-hit wonders sadly. Oh well.
