Glad you liked this one. A heart-warming story of one man's love for lager 🤣

He's talking about beer...not a girl. Re-listen with this in mind. "All I want is a barrel of you" 🍺

Special Brew was made in 1950 by the Danish for the visit of Winston Churchill very high strength larger

Special brew is a very strong beer in the UK made by carlsberg ,this is a love song dedicated to his love of carlsberg special brew.( very popular drink amongst the young back in the day)

Another great choice. Although Buster Bloodvessel was a larger than life character, the band made some very good music. ""Ne-ne na-na na-na nu-nu", "Lorraine" and "Walking in the Sunshine" are all well worth a listen.

Fond memories of Bad Manners… they were the jokey band of the ska movement… like madness. Some great covers , like ‘the can-can’ and ‘my girl lollipop’ aswell as other great tunes like ‘Lorraine’ , ‘just a feeling’. This tune was their biggest hit - loved dancing to it (at the junior disco) everyone went nuts when the fast bit kicked in!

Met lead singer, Buster Bloodvessel, in a SKA convention. A hell of a nice person. When I was young and got invited to other kids parties, we always used to dance to Bad Manners version of the 'Can Can' and do the leg dance along with it.

A love to strong lager, favoured by the homeless! Loving your ska journey guys 🏁🏁🏁

I read that the lead singer Buster Bloodvessel owns and runs a bed and breakfast hotel on the East coast of the UK called Fatty Towers. A play of words on the John Cleese sit-com Fawlty Towers.

I'd forgotten how many great songs they had!

I've seen Bad Manners love about 10 years ago at a Ska festival. At one point I used to love Special Brew a little too much...

Bad Manners’ Top Of The Pops performance of ‘Can-Can’ is also worth checking out!

Buster Bloodvessel the man who accidently mooned the pope, they were playing a festival in Italy and there were a bunch of the audience who weren't feeling it so were booing them, Buster responded by getting his ass out not realizing that the pope was in the audience.

Thank you guys i hope you are enjoying your musical journey cause I'm loving the reintroductions to old friends this is fun and these guys one of the best gigs I've ever been to happy happy vibes smiling faces everywhere. ska it's an off beat faster than reggae it is the offbeat that makes your feet want to skank the night away this is happy happy music i love it

I remember Buster Bloodvessel being a guest on Tiswas (anarchic UK saturday morning kids' TV show), where he drank a jar of pickled onions 😂

Met buster once but my brain went out the window and i ended up not really saying anything. Saw them live three times, fantastic. The song is about beer.

Bad Manners, what a great band, Special Brew is one of their best songs. 😎

Love Special Brew…

Only bad manners could make a love song about beer.

Hi Chris & Cynthia, Gotta love a bit of Bad Manners! Apart from their other well known tracks they also did a great Ska cover of 'When Will I See You Again' by the Three Degrees, Well worth a listen Cheers Jim, Surrey, UK👍

Buster at the the controls! Such a great time skanking it live with this mob.....ites! x

Saw bad manners at a free town centre gig in 96 ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC drinking a four pack of kestrel super strength 9 % tasted like treacle.The town was trashed ,brilliant. This is probably their biggest hit it kept going up and down the charts 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Carlsberg special brew !🤪🍺🍺🍺

One of the best bands live from that punk ska mod scene

All Hail Buster Bloodvessel!

special brew is a strong lager best avoided

Only here for the beer! Ska tastic

The last time i saw BAD MANNERS SUPPORTING THEM WAS THE MANAGER'S THE OFFBEATS THE WBC THE ROYAL RUMBLE It was awesome. Around that time i saw an ad in the entertainment section of the news paper THE WBC DOORS OPEN 1130 PM so off we go seven of us waiting outside for the doors to open and when they opened the bouncers told us members only .ah? We just want to see the band not become members of what is this club called? The bouncers tell us it's the WINDOM BOWLING CLUB WBC NO BAND'S PLAY HERE.... BOY IT TOOK A LONG LONG TIME TO LIVE THAT ONE DOWN

Loved the quirkiness he's still performing

BM are touring in the UK right now. Go and see them if you want a good jump around!

Sally Brown next 👌

your not in the right party in the UK if bad manners doesn't come on at some point lol

Like a few others here, i saw the band at a festival once, and danced briefly with Buster in a Reggae tent later that night. I always thought it was something of a pity they had that jokey/novelty image, they were a much better band than that.

I've seen you have done Lovebites, you should check something BABYMETAL too. Gimme Chocolate?

Good Stuff ! ( I mean the band, not the beer 😉)

One of my brothers favourite songs. Definitely not one of mine!

Boxroom! ✌

That was a nasty drink in the eighties!

I'm a alcoholic and I drink special brew, my liver has fluid on it I'm 41, I'm in councelling but I know I'll die soon, I'm not scared, I keep drinking, I just want to get to the end, when the lights go out then it's final.

A story that can only end up with cirrhosis
