Just heard on the news that Terry hall has passed away aged 63 , thoughts and prayers with his family and friends and the remaining members of the specials. My favourite band ever. Thanks for all the songs and memories Terry . RIP . Can't believe you've gone.
Back when people had fun. So proud to have called The Specials my favourite band all of my life. Music plays such an important place in the human, it really effects how people behave. I am not surprised the kids of today are so unhappy listening to the shit around now.
Saw the specials, madness and selector on there 1979 two tone tour of the uk, got hooked that day and now got tickets to see the Specials Encore Tour. Love ska.
@@MrCorfuz 14? I'd say more like 12 bless him. I saw Specials and Madness c79 and there were kids as young as 11/12 there, more so at the Specials. 😊 Two Tone attracted a lot of kids and the Two Tone bands did lots of gigs where under 18s could get in. i.e alcohol free venues.
It's about prince buster getting hit on the head with a paving slab by a rival gang at a dance . He breaks out of hospital with a bandage around his head , disguises himself in his mum's dress the goes of to beat the crap out of the gang . They put the word round that he's lost the plot , but he says - they call it madness , I call it gladness .
There’s a guy skanking on stage in a black jacket with badges on it and a hat and all I can think of is Rik (Myall) of The Young Ones. I know it’s not him, logically, but to me it’s Rik.
Cheers to the cool rude boy lad dancing on stage(who must be over 50 by now). I'm a teacher and I'd love to have a guy like that in my classroom! I only get shitty Latin-trap's fans instead.
So many questions about the 12 year old. How did he get in? How did he get such a cool tailored suit? How did he afford it? How did he get out without his folks knowing? Where did he get that fricking confidence? The dance moves? Little legend.
@@lucalittler madness was not a ska band,they had their own nutty sound,what do you know about prince buster???, or his band the busters all stars,or the skatalites or baba brookes band,you know zero about ska

Couldn't agree more mate

Generalization and hyperbole, shit take mate

The kid is amazing too
A true rudeboy

La mejor época, la mejor música que no morirá jamás
The kid in this has some serious moves!
Nice to see Terry skanking!
The Specials doing a Madness song? Wow!
Prince buster originally
It's madness!
They all sung this at their gigs it's not a madness song it's prince buster and specials version is a lot better than madness version
@@Noelmcdonagh the king of ska mr prince buster
It's not a Madness tune.
Ha! I too would like to know who that kid is and where he is today. That kid has got to be the coolest kid ever!
hes about 55 today and wishing he was that 12 yr old again
Cuantos recuerdos escuchar esta cancion una y otra vez , es una lastima lo de Terry.
Back in the day when no one gived a fuck. Happy days!
Brilliant was there at Wolverhampton ska tour .
We Love Special !!!
And on-stage Madness ensued.
Two tone forever, saludos desde Venezuela.
The HEYDAY of fabulous SKA!

Never knew that, really good info.
We owed so much to Jamaican Ska. Did Madness write it or was it a cover by them?
_thanks Andy, didn't know that_
@@harveysmith100 Prince Buster song.. Madness covered it.
@@harveysmith100 Cover I think.
where did he hear this??,it was lee perry who jumped buster,go listen to ..lee Perry/Madhead
MADNESS 2019
Awesome
La vidéo que je voulais voir à disparu juste après un questionnaire inquisiteur
the specials had the right to sing this as they owned the 2 tone label
it wasnt on 2 tone. Prince Buster wrote it. Madness covered it.
Actually, it was on 2 tone. Madness covered it as a b-side to The Prince single.
Your right. But they didnt own the rights to it to sing it. I've no doubt Buster wouldnt have minded
Buster always liked Madness.
Anyone can it's prince busters tune ,
sencillamente genial

@totomorris not me, but I do remember thinking I looked cool in my dad's demob suit and my grandfather's trilby, white socks and loafers. hmmmmm

I’m sure the teachers of that era had the same opinion as you do now heh
I was that kid...
Ah this is good...
Wonder if madness have a song call the specials? 🤔
XD, la original is from Prince Buster

Shit Hot

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Little nugget
Why are they copying the best ska band in history madness
A guy called prince buster made this song called madness and madness thought they could use it as their band name.
@@thegodzillaatomicblastprod1702 I know prince buster
Every band on 2 tone records did this song.
@@lucalittler madness was not a ska band,they had their own nutty sound,what do you know about prince buster???, or his band the busters all stars,or the skatalites or baba brookes band,you know zero about ska
Ain't got a patch on suggs,
God bless prince buster.
