I have a limited tolerance for ska or swing revival music. I mean, it's okay if I'm in a very specific mood for it. But, there's something about the Specials that always brings a smile to my face. This English ska band had a lot of energy and must have been a really fun band to see live back in the late 70's/early 80's.
Here is the first song off of their second album, More Specials. Enjoy Yourself was written back in the 1940's by Carl Sigman and Herb Magidson and first popularized by Guy Lombardo in 1950. There is something universally wise about the lyrics of this tune which adds to its overall enjoyment.
