It should be with a "y" since it's an anagram
of "Pyramids."

Hey wait a second. Wheres the D then? Is it an anagram of Pyramis ?
I always wondered where they got that name. Is this pyramid thingy true? Why didnt the
just call themselves that?

okay.. this may sound really stupid.. but forgive me, cuz i've never
heard of the group or the song.. but if it was an anagram of
"pyramids".. wouldn't it have a D in there somewhere?

If I remember correctly, they were Pyramid at one time, but something
happened, and they decided to change their name to Symarip (leaving out
the D so that no one would connect them to Pyramid). Anybody know why
they changed?

jamaican music.

Yup. And if anyone has heard the oi version of it, I'd be interested to
know who it is for sure. I've asked various skins, and they all think
it was Distortion. Either way, it's a fucking AMAZING cover, if you
ever get a chance to hear it.

Me (who else would it be?)
Patriot and the Oppressed cover it too

The song is by Symarip, AKA the Pyramids, one of the most incredible
rocksteady bands ever. They're also the authors of Skinhead MOonstomp,
Must Catch a Train, and every other song that's ever been covered.
The Otis Redding's of ska. :)

WHY? Given the fact that Symarip existed long before Bad Manners did (and
hell, they had probably broken up before Bad Manners ever came into
existence), combined with Bad Manners' habit of doing a lot of cover songs
("Lola" by the Kinks, the '50s or '60s pop hit "Teenager in Love"), the odds
of Symarip's EVER having covered a Bad Manners song are slim to none...

actually, i'm well aware of this. notice i said "oi cover".someone else
asked who had done an oi cover of the song, and that's why i mentioned
the opressed version.you haven't ever looked at my page? it's got a
lengthy explanation of the history of the skinhead cult, as well as
skinhead reggae soundclips.
it's also got links to the new Lower Class Brats homepage....
