Formed in 1976 and still going strong. One of the original Two Tone Ska bands, Bad Manners are fronted by the charismatic but you wouldnt want to touch his lammie Buster Bloodvessel.
Regulars on the rally scene up and down the UK though they might have a penchant for Italian scooters they were actually banned from the nation of Italy (and top of the pops) for over 10 years, quite possibly because of their bad manners.
Their most famous tracks, some of which are included for your perusement on this page include a cover of "My Girl Lollipop" the somewhat incomprehensible "Ne ne na na na nu nu" and "Special Brew" (named after a special type of scooter fuel available only in the UK which enables your scooter to travel at speeds only previously possible with japanese sports bikes, though not recommended for anyone wanting to turn corners or avoid brick walls)
