The song SPIDE pokes a bit of fun at the classic Belfast Spides. Here's an excerpt from wikipedia, which explains the term quite well:
A spide is a pejorative stereotype, in Northern Ireland, particularly in Belfast, of a person who has a particular dress code and attitude. Spides are often young unemployed male adults.[1] The term predates "chav" (originally slang from south-east England, now widespread in the UK media) by at least a decade, and while the description is similar, it is not identical. The female version of Spide is "millie".
There are many negative perceptions associated with the stereotype. These include allegations that they engage in anti-social behaviour. They are also often seen as boy racers, who loiter in car parks and public places playing music loudly from modified cars with up-rated hi-fis. Many wear Berghaus fleeces, fake jewellery, tracksuits (usually in light colours), white trainers and baseball caps (often fake Burberry.[2]) Many of them sport thin, unformed mustasches which are jokingly referred to as 'barcodes'.
Other slang terms for "spides" include "Smicks", "mokes" and "steeks"
The song is intended to have a fun, playful, upbeat feel to it. The chorus of "Oi oi oi's" after second verse goes down particularly well at live shows! Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
