For all that don't know the history, punk was tailing out in 1980 in the suburbs (behind London)it morphed into New wave, which included 2 tone. On the back of 2 tone there was a brief mod revival that coincided with this song ( a B side) for 6-8 weeks there were some large organised fights in the UK between the remaining punks, and the far more numerous mods. By the time the wounds healed the New Romantics had taken over, most punks and mods joined that movement. It all happened very fast over a short time period.
what a wanker punk started in the 1976 fuck all to do with London and let me tell you fuck all to do with Mods punk turned into everything and you can still see its influence get a grip knobhead
I remember a couple of punks at the end of my street playing this to my young impressionable ears. It stuck in my head all this time , until I came across this today. Funny how the old classic lullabies stick in your brain. 🎶 Oi.
remember when this came out classic I still have it on single great day's & when the Exploited were still a Punk band before they turned shit Thrash Metal they have been most of their existence & still are.
Whatever the opposite of what you just said is what this song is about. I get that punk "can be conservative" but it's sure as fuck not about being a Weeaboo or a Reddit Admin. These days I wouldn't exactly say it's super alive either. The 90s-2000s very quick commercialization and oversaturation sorta killed it. It still exists in a sense but The 80s Bands are always something special.
henry rollins wrote about black flag opening for exploited in london (book called "get in the van"). exploited closed with this, and told the barmy army that the jam's gig was just ending, and to go out and kill the mods. so they busted a few heads and the next day the papers read "black flag violence", as is bf had anything to do with it, lol.
yeah the sex pistols covered the who- substitute, small faces- whatcha gonna do about it, and the creation- through my eyes. 3 60s MOD bands! say it isn't so! :)
Still love this song! 1986 me & my gf pull up at the kfc blasting punk from my mk3 Cortina! 20+ mods there start giving us shit! (nice odds, wankers!) we drive off, come back, pull up opposite and blast "fuck a mod" full volume!! :) They give chase but their shitty little hairdryer scooters can't keep up with us lol!
when that song played at the local dance hall, Kirky Renfrew 🏴 the place erupted the Skins, Rudeboys, Punks, anyone in general would just attack the Mods and outside was a running battle. oh when I was a lad 😊 I converted a modette in2 becoming a Rudegirl. Debbie you died before your time sweetheart 😘 rest easy babygirl.
i must say i agree a wee bit. but sometimes, being yourself means wearing ''punk clothes''. though i dont like bondage trousers ad to much studs. still i would call my self a ''punk''.
Fuck a mod tonight, how much fun it is to crush a mod until he cries, hit him in the head, splash his flat brain, beat his balls away..., how much fun it is to crush a mod until he kneels.
@jobber4life garage rock was never a "pop" genre, Mod on the other hand was. Not only that , the inspiration for Mods and Punks to make music are almost diametrically opposed. Mods were obsessed with popular fashionable image, where as punks had adopted a DIY approach. ...then there is politics but Im not going to start down that road. Watered down? I think not... you obviously have not listened to enough punk..... 8)
I totally agree on the fact of Garage being part of the punk "bloodline" but I can only say that Mod may be an influence. Rockabilly/Psycobilly in the 50s and Garage in the 60s are like the parents of (at least American) punk. Have you hears of Crypt records? They Re-issue loads of old stuff that I think youd love...
punk definately pre-dates the 60's you can trace punks roots all the way back to screaming lord such at about 1910-1920ish. Anywhere really that anarchy is prevalent could also be called punk it was mearly defined in the 70's mainly due to the thatcherite government in England. France during the revolution has alot of punk ideaology in writing and music it just not called punk. Also bands like the ramones started in the sixties and are one of punk musics bigest inspirations
Did alot more of them then just that one! taking their vespa's joyriding then smashing them up was the the usual, but when they show up in numbers for revenge thats when the knives came out and the fun started! ~MADD~FFF~ ~The Big Valley~
The only subcultures today in England that are thriving and have young people in them today is the punk scene and skinhead scene all the rest are oldies that are still going no mods or Ted's my age (19) haha wankers
Agreed, even when I got into punk when I was 14 years old I thought this song was shit. I thought it'd be a laugh to revisit it but no, it's still shit. And this is coming from someone who likes punk.
lets be honest here..punk was dead before the exploited jumped on its bandwagon..we knew it was dead because punks were wearing american mohawks...and now in 2018 mod is still going strong with another surge in the offing
In your dreams, Around 1979 - 1983, All i see was mod targets on the back of shitty parkas running away from us, We still have loads of punk bands to see live, You stick to your shitty northern soul records, And crap scooters. Even the who turned rocker, How we laughed. I Went to see the jam in 77, And it was all punks in the crowd, And then the jam sold out to you lot.
@MrCherubhair1 Well then, feel free not to listen to them - I don't like Coldplay but you don't see me bitching about how rubbish they are on videos of them.

missed out the rockabilly teddyboy revival of the late 1970's and the fights in the kings road
I remember it all
Amazing....... you've written punk n oi! Out of history at the point it was strongest
nah punk just got pissed for a while we went nowhere
what a wanker punk started in the 1976 fuck all to do with London and let me tell you fuck all to do with Mods punk turned into everything and you can still see its influence get a grip knobhead
Best version of Jingle Bells, every!
I was a 16 yr old London punk by the time this come out and it was a plain fact that the first and only real explosive wave of punk was already over .
I remember a couple of punks at the end of my street playing this to my young impressionable ears. It stuck in my head all this time , until I came across this today. Funny how the old classic lullabies stick in your brain. 🎶 Oi.
My dad had this blasting in the car yesterday on the way back from school and it was awesome.
horton should hear a Who
Britpop-Punk blasted it today in my bus 😂 brigantine tune
Cool dad
Being a mod minded bloke this offends me first but astounds me first? These guys are notorious!!
Discord moderators are truly the worst.
Rockers up!
Nothin' against mods. But this song reminds me my youth! :D
A version of fuck a chav..
Love it brings back memories of my youth good days
remember when this came out classic I still have it on single great day's & when the Exploited were still a Punk band before they turned shit Thrash Metal they have been most of their existence & still are.
Thrash Metal...!!! WHAT UTTER SHITE.... fucking have a word with yourself...... 😂
Punk siempre está en nuestras corazones!!!!
Me when I’m sick and fucking tired of mod installation failures.
this is the song to got out to all the admins/miss on garrys mod
Whatever the opposite of what you just said is what this song is about. I get that punk "can be conservative" but it's sure as fuck not about being a Weeaboo or a Reddit Admin.

the isle of wight is ridden with mods, ought to play this song going down the streets there
Me when i get banned from a discord server
WE ARE MODS!!!!!!!!!!!!
If 2020 was a song
tthe punks were playing covers of mods bands such as Sex Pistols substitute
skin movement is born from mod...
Yeah but bald is beautiful and pointy ELF boots are a no go . Mod women are hot thou 🤷♂️😂
This made me laugh WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than it should have. xDD
" club 85 soccer Indians"🏴✌️
He's a janitor on the internet.
Get a grip ladies.........just enjoy it.

Yes he did
MODS ✊🏿 the jam legends . what,💩
Jo i love this song, yea
I love it.
wow.
You are obviously the king of the mods.
Saying "I like Punk Rock" while wearing a Suit is hilarious...
I'm probably still going to listen to it while Im a millionaire. Punks seem to embrace poverty... That's not rebellion
Wearing bondage gear and spitting on people doesn't instantly make you a punk.
yeah the sex pistols covered the who- substitute, small faces- whatcha gonna do about it, and the creation- through my eyes.
3 60s MOD bands! say it isn't so! :)

Happy Christmas

I totally agree on the fact of Garage being part of the punk "bloodline" but I can only say that Mod may be an influence. Rockabilly/Psycobilly in the 50s and Garage in the 60s are like the parents of (at least American) punk.
Have you hears of Crypt records? They Re-issue loads of old stuff that I think youd love...
What a load of shit this is! As the mighty Weller once said IWAS BORN A MOD AND YOU CAN BURY ME A MOD!
KEEP THE FAITH...MOD FOR LIFE
Faith in what?
Siempre joder los fashiss!!!!
Ееее? Це класно!
@jobber4life
but actually Punks and Mods are like the opposite of each other, just thinkin of their style
WE ARE THE MODS
Fuck the mods
It states, specifically, that you must fuck A mod.
is that like We Are The World
Dublin mods eire 💚..
Dublin 💙💚💚lreland MODS 💚💚💚😎😎
@Misfits2009 tbh they were quite skinhead but they were quite punky aswell
The producer/sound engineer must have hated the bass player.
I think I might be a mod tbh or at least would be by the standards of that time in England. Based song though.
Yes bring back watty
punk definately pre-dates the 60's

long life to mods!!!!!! they are the creator of the life stile that we the skinheads love...
Mods rule ya bass
kick the hippie today
Funny because hippys were more punk than punks ever were. They protested war and were against the police and government.
Well the pistols told to "never trust a Hippy"!
Just realised this is in the batman theme. Ha.
In LA a punk gang stabbed a mod in an alley back in the 80s and killed him.
S3X Machine no shit haha
Did alot more of them then just that one! taking their vespa's joyriding then smashing them up was the the usual, but when they show up in numbers for revenge thats when the knives came out and the fun started! ~MADD~FFF~ ~The Big Valley~
lmao more than one that's for sure
Whats that some 💩,.Dublin💚 mods lreland💚 .nothern soul trojan .try take my vespa ..
k

I'm sure The Carpenters did a version of this?
🥳🌲
How much fun it is to bash a mod until he bleeds...
punk punk punk
The only subcultures today in England that are thriving and have young people in them today is the punk scene and skinhead scene all the rest are oldies that are still going no mods or Ted's my age (19) haha wankers

LMFAO....Rollins was probably drugged at the time
Moderators have a thankless job on livestreams.
Well agree, they're carttons aren't they. I was a hardcore punk and these were a jk
Altogether....
agreed
skins starded as scar music
*dedicated to.......*
fucking good
We were not talking about that :S

@amesbullet55
It's not Batman, it's fucking jingle bells. Jesus Christ, is there no fucking hope?
@Dinocastoro
Yeah and now here its Neds/Chavs vs Anyone else -_-"
fuck you para vos también ! xD
lets be honest here..punk was dead before the exploited jumped on its bandwagon..we knew it was dead because punks were wearing american mohawks...and now in 2018 mod is still going strong with another surge in the offing
Yep,chavs/mods/mass clones of comercialism controlled by wods money fake fashion controlled by boring greedy fuck ups...punk will never die...
this song still fits today but instead of singing fuck a mod I sing fuck Ahmad. hahaha
punx and skins
But there was a revival in the 70's
it nobby son
@Misfits2009 Did they smarten up, or just want more fans?
das ist gut ja.
I'll be anything other than "them"
Be anything but nothing ..
@Dinocastoro teddy boys were in the 40s
yes but exploited is quite street punk...very similar to oi!
@Misfits2009 nope they where ordanary punx iv seen photos
@jobber4life noway!!!! where did you get that lie from!
HAHAHAHAHA
Oi!
In your dreams, Around 1979 - 1983, All i see was mod targets on the back of shitty parkas running away from us, We still have loads of punk bands to see live, You stick to your shitty northern soul records, And crap scooters. Even the who turned rocker, How we laughed. I Went to see the jam in 77, And it was all punks in the crowd, And then the jam sold out to you lot.
Knob 😎..
Relax there, Ian Stuart. Get back in those meds.
@Misfits2009 the always were punks and the will alwayxs be
@MrCherubhair1 Well then, feel free not to listen to them - I don't like Coldplay but you don't see me bitching about how rubbish they are on videos of them.
fook a' moos
