This song is one of the classics of the British 2-tone ska revival of the 70s. When a lot of people hear the word ‘ska’ they think of more popular third-wave acts, like Reel Big Fish, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, No Doubt, etc. But ska dates back to the 50s the most interesting period was probably the revival in the 70s.
Odds are, even if you don’t listen to ska revival you’ve heard this song before. It’s been used in a lot of TV and movie soundtracks. The video paints a picture of the underbelly of Coventry in the late 70s.
