The Specials

The Specials (sometimes called The Special AKA ) are an English 2 Tone ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry, England. Their music combines a "danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk's energy and attitude", and had a "more focused and informed political and social stance" than other ska groups. The band wore mod-style "1960s period rude boy outfits (pork pie hats, tonic and mohair suits, and loafers)." In 1980, the song "Too Much Too Young", the lead track on their The Special AKA Live! EP, reached number one in the UK. In 1981, the unemployment-themed single "Ghost Town" also hit number one in the UK Singles Chart. After seven consecutive UK Top 10 singles between 1979 and 1981, the band broke up. Their 1983 song "Free Nelson Mandela" was a No. 9 U… more »

Court in session. What do you mean 'Oy oy oy'? Must have court in session. 
Order. My name is Judge Roughneck, and I will not tolerate any disobedience in my courtroom. 
Rude boy, you have been brought in front of me and charged with smashing this woman's window. 
Before I sentence you, what have you got to say in your defense? 

I was walking down the street one night 
When I saw her silhouette in her bathroom light 
Her way of life may be nothing to hide 
With her frosted glass shattered, curtains open wide 

Naked woman, naked man, 
Where did you get that nice sun tan? 
You live in a castle built of sand 
Naked woman, naked man 

Naked from your bath, you go naked to your bed 
And I can't stop the hatred running through my head 

Silence in court. Order. 
Rude boy, you have led me to believe that you was going out with a girl, 
and she left you and married someone else. 
So you got drunk, and smashed up your ex-girlfriend's property. 
I have come to one conclusion, that is to sentence you to five months in prison. 
Before they take you down to the cells, what have you got to say for yourself? 

He wanted to be something but she knows he never will 
She's got him where she wanted and forgot to take her pill 
And he thinks that she'll be happy when she's hanging out the nappies 
If that's a happy marriage I'd prefer to be unhappy 

Married woman, married man 
Where did you get that family plan? 
Mrs. Ewe and Mr. Ram 
Where did you get that lovely lamb? 

Naked woman, naked man, 
where did you get that nice sun tan? Order in my courtroom 
Naked woman, naked man, 
where did you get that nice sun tan? Hush up 
Naked woman, naked man, 
where did you get that nice sun tan? Take him away
