Special Brew

About Special Brew

"Special Brew" , by British 2-tone and ska band Bad Manners, was released in September 1980 and was the third single from their first album Ska 'n' B. It was the band's biggest hit in the UK, reaching number 3 in the UK Singles Chart, where it stayed for two weeks. The song takes its inspiration from Carlsberg lager Special Brew, when lead singer Buster Bloodvessel picked up his beer and sang "I love you, yes i do 'cause i know that you're my special brew" and the song was then written in a matter of minutes. .
