“Little Bitch” by The Specials

"Little Bitch" is Jerry Dammers' song, words and music, one of the originals on the Specials' debut album, out on 19 October 1979 on his own 2 Tone label with Elvis Costello producing. The record sets the band's songs alongside covers of classic Jamaican ska, and it bottles the anger and disaffection of kids stuck in Britain's grim, violent inner cities, the "concrete jungle", as Bob Marley had called it on Catch a Fire back in 1973. Some count it as the moment the UK ska revival truly came into its own.
