Moin.
Ich freue mich schon darauf, diese Doku über The Specials heute Abend zu Ende zu schauen. Fängt in der aktuelleren Zeit an, geht aber auch in die Anfänge zurück und zur Produktion des ersten Albums mit Elvis Costello.

ARTEThe Specials - A Message to You - Programm in voller Länge | ARTE ConcertThe Specials, angeführt von Keyboarder Jerry Dammers und dem Sänger Terry Hall, tauchten 1977 mitten in der Punk-Revolution auf. The Specials ist genau die Band, die den Ska-Revival ins Leben rief, der Großbritannien mit der Single "Gangsters" und einem fehlerfreien ersten Album gleichen Namens, das 1979 erschien, eroberte.

The prompt is Asylum

Fun Boy Three, "The Lunatics (Have Taken Over the Asylum)" 1981

I always thought of #FunBoyThree as a side project by 3 members of second-wave #ska band The Specials, but in fact the formation of the group may have been part of #TheSpecials' breakup.

While The Specials used wit to address serious, topical subjects, Fun Boy Three burst onto the scene as off-kilter and downright wacky, from Terry Hall’s exaggerated coif to this single that announced their arrival. The song would be included on their debut eponymous album released the following year.

Perhaps in support of female empowerment, or maybe just to position themselves as a ‘boy band,’ the group associated with the all-female Go-Go's, #TerryHall cowriting “Our Lips Are Sealed" with the #GoGos' #JaneWiedlin, and later with #Bananarama, guesting prominently on each other’s releases.

But never mind all that - let’s have some lunacy.
