You've lost me there. What's the connection between oi and scooters?

Working class/skinheads/ska/oi

they all go together

Maybe in Englewood they do.

Are you talking about one of these:

Have you seen some of the tricks you can do on those? ca-ray-zee




this chick is totally Oi!

Oi! Oi! Oi! by Cockney Rejects is badass.

I've always been partial to Someone's Gonna Die by Blitz

cockney rejects, no contest between them and the others listed.

I constantly confuse them with Cockney Rebel. I think I'm in for some two chord Oi! then 'Come Up and See Me' comes on and I'm well disappointed.

hahahahaha, that happens to me with another two bands, ahh yeah, it happens to me with against me and rise against but they are pretty much interchangeable, i wouldn't be able to tell them apart if my life depended on it.

How bizarre - about 20 minutes ago I was opening a couple of LPs that came in today's post, and the seller of one package had used the first PIL album and a copy of Cockney Reject's Greatest Hits to protect the album I had actually bought (an original copy of the 1st New York Dolls LP).
Even more strange since I had been half-looking out for another copy of the 1st PIL album anyway cos my existing one has a really tatty cover...

that's called "bonus, dude!"

Certainly ain't complaining :)

I'm an Upstart - Angelic Upstarts :D

Which reminds me, I want to change my signature to my favorite line of that song.

ha! I used to hang out with their singer Alex in Portsmouth in the mid 80's when he was in high school...he was a good guy.

But I don't buy the rewriting of OI! as "street punk". Anyway, other than the first Blitz 7" - which I still love - I didn't like much Oi. Blitz SUCKED after that record, too.

Peter and the Test Tube Babies "Moped Lads" great single,
