[alans73]

...Sorry, that last comment was meant to be to @Bert

[alans73]

And you have trouble understanding spoken english! You should listen to the music of Leonard Nimoy - I think it's more up your street than Althea and Donna.

[snodgrassish]

U bin not on me spelin an ting but you gimmi fart attack - an no dread ting.

[snodgrassish]

They're hot English Jamacans you fkwit

[BertHigginbottom]

@snodgrassish You three should get together Snodgrassish. They have trouble speaking English and you seem to have trouble spelling it.

.

You’d get on quite well together.



[moclark]

respect the patois. bumblehole.

[BertHigginbottom]

Thank you for your reply Orpheusis but I'm afraid it's not really as informative as I'd hoped. DORK? is that a Jamaican Colloquialism that is perhaps only familiar within the ‘Need to know’ circles.

Maybe you could enlighten us all with your extensive knowledge and your worldly wisdom. It’s always nice meeting knowledgeable and informative folk on the new internet expressway.

Looking forward to our interaction as we speak Orpheusls ;_0

[BertHigginbottom]

Anyone know what this unrecognisable dialect is all about?  It sounds English but as an English speaker I haven't a clue what on earth they're singing about?

Just a bit of a clue would help :O

[koeningyou]

@BertHigginbottom

I believe they sing this in "Jamaican Patois"

[OrpheusIsThe1]

@BertHigginbottom DORK

[alans73]

@BertHigginbottom DORK

[BertHigginbottom]

@alans73 Thank you Alans, but merely reiterating Orpheusis’s comment is hardly conducive to the continuity of the repartee. Put a little more effort into it if you would and if you don’t mind me saying, a hint of imagination wouldn’t go amiss either.

[SamBlob]

Sung over the "Version Side" of Alton Ellis's "I'm Still In Love With You".

But how it just wind out so? S'm'ady tu'n off the turntable or sup'n?

no pop - no style...!

nice track!

[rachLXXVII]

classic!

btw, has lily allen ever publicly addressed the suggestion that her tune 'smile' sounds A LOT like she ripped this off? tut, tut

[maccagrabme]

@rachLXXVII Is it any wonder that Lily Allen ripped off other artists? I mean did anyone actually believe anything she does was her own? The trouble is the same applies to every other artists out there today.

[CrassPunk999]

This song is really good. Have you guys heard Big D and the Kids Table's song "Stricly Rude"? It's modeled after this song and its really good.

[simonbnyc]

Amazing record! Hey and my copy is on Joe Gibbs as well!

[mftheory]

Classick!

[iamthepig]
