(from Bad Manners' 1980 album Ska 'n' B)

Hehehe...

Britain was in the midst of the ska craze in 1980 - The Specials, The Selector, The Bodysnatchers, The Beat and other 2 Tone bands were ploughing their earnest ska/rude boy furrow (and very good & danceable it was too) when along came Bad Manners with irreverent songs about high-alcohol beer and being fat!! I kid you not! Frontman Buster Bloodvessel was (and still is) of considerable girth, penning several songs over the years about his imbalanced height/weight ratio, "Lip Up Fatty" being my particular favourite :o)

For the non-Brits, Special Brew is a strong lager (9% ABV) the consumption of which is usually associated with alcoholism or 'down-and-out-ism'. I should add that this ISN'T a pic of a can of Special Brew, it's waaaaay too strong for me, oh nononononono....this is a photo of a humble can of Morland's 'Speckled Hen', perfectly quaffable at a more relaxed 5.2% ABV

Easy-squeezy shot - straight on at f/11 for super-sharpness, with a smidgeon of off-camera flash to make the it look interesting!
