i went to see the boys in manchester before xmas...they were fantastic, and one of the highlights was norman dancing and singing johnny too bad....still as good a show as ever
When I first heard UB40 was back in 1983, my cousin took a cd of theirs to Mexico one time, I was only about 9 or 10 years old, and I fell in love with this group's music. Red Red Wine and Johnny Too Bad, and other ones. I also like the way Ali Campbell dances in this video, holding his guitar in his hands, and just moving around, and the Jamaican brothahs also share their joy in this video. UB40 Rocks!!
one of ub's best ever tunes .dont matter if norms trousers are high , he fuckin sang the tune good enough for me for over 25 years ,, if you dont agree ,tough shit ..real rude boys love it!!! shame it finishes too early .... BOLLLLLLLLLLOXXXXXXXXXXX
I ALSO STOLE HIS BROTHERS ADIDAS TRACK SUIT TOP OFF THE WASHING LINE AS A DARE.......AND WORE IT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS TEN SIZES TOO BIG FOR ME. CONFESSIONS OF A THIEF 2017. SO GLAD I GOT THAT OFF MY CHEST. LOL.
Man.....I LOVE this song and this performance (though, you know....not exactly LIVE! LOL!) is very cool. I'm working on a tribute vid for the tune....maybe can find some interesting things to do with it!? Thanks!
Re previous ...how can you trust a man who can't even spell the correct usage of "their",,,,, am is blinded with tears wit the death of Mr M (lame excuse, but heh) Love to all ....Byron
+upstter Yes, i figured that out. Norman's voice has gotten progressively worse it seems. The man could benefit from a lifestyle and dietary coach..... simply incredible how much his voice has changed lol
great song, great version. astro barely containing his lafter at lenny. great vid from lenny henry show. weird to think that ub40 and lenny henry were actually reallly cool at this time! ub40 fell out with each other. what happened to lenny henry?
I don't get it, where is the guy with the irritating nasley voice? Who is that guy singing? Far better than the other guy, I've seen them on tele dozens of times, but I don't remember him....
Is this a piss take???? Please tell me they are not serious!! Is it a piss take? sorry I really do not know!! The Slickers ' Johnny 2 bad' is one of the best reggae tracks ever. Is this a piss take of it???
+Walt Jabsco Ub40 were inspired by 10 reggae tracks, this was one, so it`s probably why they covered it. The video is really good, partly because they are actually walking down a road!
ollie Campbell seems to want the limelight all the time, he's crowding out the singer.Your a bloody premadonna Campbell,not a great singer.Get out of the way .

Love to all ....Byron
This band member; where is he today? Who is he and why not in the band lol lol ?!!

great song, great version. astro barely containing his lafter at lenny. great vid from lenny henry show. weird to think that ub40 and lenny henry were actually reallly cool at this time! ub40 fell out with each other. what happened to lenny henry?

@dazinbham83 Wrong!
wtf is the education debate?
Butchered? Who butchered?
I don't get it, where is the guy with the irritating nasley voice?
Who is that guy singing? Far better than the other guy, I've seen them on tele dozens of times, but I don't remember him....
KInda butchered the original.

UB40 butchered the song.
This is an absolute TRAVESTY of The Slickers' original. Makes me hoot with derisive LOLOLs
UB40 suck so much, their teeth hurt.
ollie Campbell seems to want the limelight all the time, he's crowding out the singer.Your a bloody premadonna Campbell,not a great singer.Get out of the way .
What have he ever done to you ,no he dosent ,and say ali cant sing is a lye really ,someone have a bad Day ,that day you my dear
