The Specials, "Bad Marriage" (1979)

The Specials - Nelson Mandela
WIKI
Is a song written by British musician Jerry Dammers, and performed by the band the Special A.K.A. with a lead vocal by Stan Campbell. It was first released on the single "Nelson Mandela"/"Break Down the Door" in 1984.
Unlike most protest songs, the track is upbeat and celebratory, drawing on musical influences from South Africa.

This sound reverberated out of all the older lads bedroom windows on the estate I grew up on in 1979. This and One Step Beyond by Madness were the sounds of my early years, exotic, angry and fresh compared to the pop music of the time
