Oh I hadn't heard that Dandy Livingstone version of Rudy! I love that song so much but it's really hard to choose a Specials favourite. I love them all!

Monkey Man -Toots and the Maytals

I saw your title and was going to say Prince by Madness as well!

Enjoy Yourself - always the signal of the party ending - usually at sunrise as we all made our way home - happy memories!

Monkey man has always been mine and my son's song since he was little. We used to put it on and go mad dancing to it.

All the songs listed so far are on my Spotify playlist. Can't help but smile when listening to ska.

Love old school Alton Ellis, Toots, BM&W.

Simmer Down is a favourite, the music but especially the colourful lyrics.

”long time people dem used to seh wha sweet nanny goat ah guh run im belly”

Too Girlie Girlie - Sophia George

Special Brew - Bad Manners

I love UB40’s version of Kingston Town but the original is better.

Yes, great

Another one bites the dust

I am just marking place to listen later. Love loads of these. Gangsters is special to me as it takes me back to summer 1979 when I was 16 and fell for a lad who introduced me to Two Tone. I saw The Specials, Madness, The Beat and The Selecter over the next year or so. Ah to be 16 again!

Rock Steady by the Bodysnatchers.

Rat Race by the Specials. ‘ I got one art O level, it did nothing for me!’

This is taking me back. Anyone remember Nanny Goat by Larry Marshall?

Loved reading all your favourites, some great choices!

Special Brew, was bopping around the kitchen and singing to it when pregnant with my eldest and she went so wriggly, was one of the first times I felt a connection with her. She's 3 now and doesn't like it when I dance or sing 😂
