Biografía:
The Selecter were a 2 Tone ska revival band from Coventry, England, formed in the late 1970s.
Like many other bands in the ska revival movement, The Selecter featured a racially mixed line-up. Their lyrics featured themes such as violence, politics and marijuana, set to strong melodies and a danceable beat. What set The Selecter apart from the other 2 Tone bands at the time was the songs of Neol Davies, the voice of Pauline Black and the pumping rhythms of Desmond Brown on the Hammond organ.

THE SELECTER - hairspray - "hairspray"
Tab written by: Michael Raven ([email protected])
gruss gott. this is one of my favorite songs from the new selecter album,
"hairspray", called "hairspray". i know, i know, they use mostly
keyboards for all their kewl sounds, but this is for guitar, heh, so it
should still work out just fine =)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[intro]:
(play this on the gutiar all nice and skanky, except the first C chord
played shouldn't be muted, same with the E. the three C chords inbetween
should be muted all skanky sounding.)
C / C C C / E / E E E / C / C C C / E / E E E
[verse]:
(yes, i know this too should be with keyboards, the grouping of the three
C chords to the E should actually be a big glissando played on the
keyboards, but those are the basic chords, the first C should be allowed
to ring, the E's afterward should be very skankily muted, the three other
chord blocks that follow those should be played virtually the same.)
C / E E E E E E E E / C / C C C / E
verse 1: i met a girl i knew the other day
i said hello, she looked the other way
verse 2: shopping for fun may chase the blues away
imeida marcos bought more shoes today
verse 3: bored housewives re-arrange the pottery
hoping one day, they'll win the lottery
verse 4: i met a man that who swore that jesus saves
i asked him for a loan 'til judgement day
[chorus]:
(this is also done on keyboards, i believe, but to me, the same general
sound can be achieved by playing a muted F on the guitars.)
F
oh oh oh you must need a hairspray
oh oh oh your so set in your ways
oh oh oh you must need a hairspray
[solo interlude/solo]:
(this leads into the keyboard solo, played exactly the same as intro, the
F chord is played same as the chorus, and the lyrics are sung during the
chord progression which is identical to the intro.)
C / C C C / E / E E E / C / C C C / E / E E E
you're oh so hard
you're oh so cool
you're so so smart
you're just a spray on fool
F
[outro]:
(this is played same as the intro to the solo and the intro. play
throughout the entire lyrics, song ends on a C chord.)
C / C C C / E / E E E / C / C C C / E / E E E
with your spray on suit
and your spray on hair
your spray on smile
and your spray on stare
your spray on curls
and your spray on shirt
you are spray on dirt...
