In their legendary 1981 music video for "Vote for Me," The Specials present a scathing indictment of the British government and its treatment of the working class. The video opens with a montage of news footage depicting the poverty and unemployment that plagued the UK during the Thatcher era. As the Specials' catchy ska beat kicks in, lead singer Terry Hall delivers a blistering critique of the government's policies, accusing them of "creating poverty" and "destroying homes." The video's powerful imagery and Hall's passionate lyrics resonated with millions of Britons, and it quickly became an anthem for the disaffected and disenfranchised.
