[MrBigcurt76]

@Mr0HeRsHeYs i can't find any bad ones. just pick and peter tosh song and its good.

[mrlimmysal]

yeah it;s about pounding da shit out of sum1 lol

[clamdraggin]

I know that many thousands of ppls seafood dinners were cooked with this

ketchy tune blasting in the background. This song would play for HOURS on end

while we made the peoples dinners. If you ate dinner at the Captains Table

in Cedar Key between 2001-2002 ...your food was most likely cooked by a crew

that was boppin to this song.

[zxingzxing]

Nice little sexy number Peter Tosh got going on here, Rastafari and I, Jah know i really miss his physical presence, why the man was without a shadow of a doubt a reggae Star and Legend to boot, Courtesy of Neville Brdoli aka Steppin Razor

[spiritualgodess]

all night!!

[qwerty42]

I thought it,the title of the song was odd and sexual at first sight... then he talks about it will drop (semen) and then it will pop (you make a baby), and noone can mend it (abortion?)... I am confused, but I think KETCHY SHUBY means you "Catch a Chubby" meaning in USA a dude that starts to get turned on. Chubby=fat... I mean just look up chubby on urbandictionary lol... it makes sense until he says "you can easily bend it" -- that part makes no sense to me, anyone ?????

[MrMaggab]

@qwerty42 perv?

[qwerty42]

@MrMaggab if you go a page or 2 back, a guy explains it kind of. I am not a perv if it sounds that way, it sounds that way. and the guy below doesnt explain at all, it meen what?

[fishoutofwasser]

@qwerty42 Interesting debate possible here, i like your thinking. Wish i could contribute but i'm as confused as you. Come on someone....enlighten us!

Great tune even if i'm clueless as to what it's about.

[cortez4200]

@fishoutofwasser agreed

[ericjungleboy]

@fishoutofwasser "shuby" is push. Ketchy and Shuby is basically sex. Man push and woman catch/receive.

[dipanfallbak]

@qwerty42 no way, it meen just what said

[ericjungleboy]

@qwerty42 "shuby" is push. Ketchy and Shuby is basically sex. Man push and woman catch/receive.

[CamerikCam]

@ndread85 it is about nuh speak like babylon, yuh overstand?

an di message of roots music is rastafari, seen?

[CamerikCam]

RISE IN POWER I BREDREN, HERO!

[StaceySplyce]

I love how "Ketchy Shuby" can be anything ;)

[ronlevon1]

this song is about convincing his girl to sex him-my wife was from Jamican country and i had idea of what he meant when she heard it she start to laugh-knowing the patois and peter was a great talent and funny man very intelligent and possibly schizophrenic which is reason he was with obea woman when just released from jail 'friend' demanded money and killed him and carly barret bc she cursed him at door-rip peter-and make up with bob-u didnt just provide decoration mon

In 1984 I saw Tosh live in the Vatican (of all places!). As it looked like I was the only one in the stage's proximity who knew the lyrics & sang along to this song Tosh passed me a spliff... Naturally, I never forgot it. Thanks for the post

Capnjav you could not have said it better!!!!!!!

[Atrumlux]

@capnjav: Powerful message, wasta. Powerful message. He will be missed. Anyone that can, and tries to, do good is swatted down like a fly. We can only hope that in death he remains as strong a figure as he was in life. A champion of the people.

[pecemk69]

[musickhottie93]

This song is def about sex

[rhymepays]

nope. ketchy shuby is just another way of saying catchy shubby, which is a game like cricket, but only faster paced. not sex. although there is certainly some inuendo here.

[jestavonation]

just smoke it

[joesolese]

Probably mi favorite song by the great wailer is dis here piece of  fantastic tune. Very ketchy an makes feh great vibes. Enjoy and positive vibrations.

[samuelsonable]

[archangel11b]

what does shuby mean?

[peaom]

it could be anything,love making i'll throw everything at you

[ericjungleboy]

@archangel11b shuby means shove or push.

[dbastard1977]

TH3MOV3M3NT if you knew and understood music from the English speaking West Indian islands like myself, be-it reggae, ska, rock steady or calypso then you will know that it is a sexual reference and not about cricket.

[ilutomilayo7]

ah who does play cricket all night young blood, lol.

[Salvianow]

A phenomenal talent.....!!!!

[OhhWaldoBaybee]

the songs deffinatly about sex (:

[CiscoNast]

[yaaadymarco]

[CoolTrumbullDad]

Excellent song! Brings me back to my glory days of ketchy ketchy, shuby shuby nights.

[vicodin75]

loved this song since I first heard it back in 1992.

[ickyraytrojan]

Thanks for the Ketchy-shuby meaning....always dug this song ...guess me and the wife have been playing this sport ...and we didnt even know it

hahahahahaaa

GOD BLESS from Southern California

[saltandpeppy]

I've never heard this beautiful song before tonight. Don't know what Ketchy-Shuby means either but it makes me want to dance all night long. Peter Tosh...you were and still ARE the cream of the crop. Jah bless!

[belizeambushgal]

it means if he shove it you have to catch it. it's a sexy little jamaican peice. both words are patois. prenounce patwa. (ketchy) is catch it and (shuby) is shove it.

PEACE.

[punitcuz]

i erd dat Peter Tosh was a villa fan(avfc)? i hope he is i support em n it wud b sssiikk if he supported em aswell

[tlo182]

Anyone else think the slackers paid homage to this song with "You Must Be Good" ?

[ProletarianFront]

ketchy chuby is a game. its kinda like cricket but faster. i tink thats wat the song about

[sthamzen]

this is bout shagging maan,it wont take to long to learn,it takes oonly one hour 2,yo mom wont like it,i know you like it.this is the naughty song of this boy ever.

[sanchibueze]

Simply Splendid! Peter Tosh is the best. Can some please upload Tosh's Glass House?

[swayoong]

wooooooooooooooo

[eleusis66]

i wouldnt do anything all night long but looove baby

[eleusis66]

KETCHY-CHUBY : It can be a sexual term meaning the man throw it and the woman catch it! It can also mean a game - life's game, how to see through today to meet tomorrow and all the games of life as in "life is just a ketchy-chuby game."

[peasah2005]

Brotha Peter Tosh, a great reggae legend.

Brotha Tosh was so self-conscious especially with his all-time classic, African.

RIP, Brotha Peter Winston McIntosh.

[trublvr632]

it's about cooking up a stew

[ilmatar]

oh shoot.. i always thought it was about playing chess

[eleusis66]

is about sex

great song

[JAEWINNZ]

No it isn't,

it's about playing Cricket.

Wow! You're not smart.

[eleusis66]

whats good about art is that is very subjective and once the piece is done , its to us , to give it interpretation..

[milofire]

Ketchy-Shuby is a cat. ;)  PeacexXx!!!

[lemonsherry]

it is about sex. and who the fuck plays cricket at night idiot?

[TH3MOV3M3NT]

Actually it is about cricket, a game of cricket can last for days. Why don't you learn how to use Google or any other search engine before you embarrass yourself like you just did....DUMB ASS.

[lemonsherry]

no shithead. i dont need to use google, since i live in jamaica and speak patois and actually understand what the fuck he's saying. how about you educate yourself before you go around spouting bullshit about things you know nothing about? 'ketchy' refers to the woman 'recieving' the male, and 'shuby' is jamaican dialect for 'pushing' something on someone, i.e. a woman 'flinging back' her body on the man. i just love americans who discover bob marley and weed and believe they know it all.

[TH3MOV3M3NT]

And unlike your American friends I tend to have a wide Reggae collection, and don't smoke, but that just shows how ignorant you really are.

[lemonsherry]

having a 'wide reggae colelction' doesnt give you any surplus of knowledge, and it certainly doesnt make you anymore credible than a person who actually speaks the language and lives in a country which is saturated with the music. stfd.

[TH3MOV3M3NT]

You being there makes you look even worst, the correct spelling is Catchy Shubby he just spelled it different like how he does everything else; Schity, Bumbo Klaat, Shitstem, etc.

I know Jamaicans in their 30's and up, so you need to know who you're dealing with, just because you're from Jamaica doesn't mean shit in this case.

[TH3MOV3M3NT]

en(.)wikipedia(.)org/wiki/Catc­hy_Shubby_Cricket

Read it and weep jackass.

[lemonsherry]

lol 'he' didnt invent that spelling for ketchy idiot. there is no standard spelling for any of the words the jamaican vernacular. poetry, articles and prose written in the language all follow the writers' format. patois is not regulated.

'i need to know who im dealing with'? oooooh badass!! wah di fuck yuh ago do? kill mi tru di computer screen? go and SIT THE FUCK DOWN and SHUTT THE FUCK UP. friggin faccyhole.

[ihitmydraw]

go and play some cricket then, its probably a fun thig to do all night long...

I am sure Peter Tosh really liked the sport too, you can hear it from the way he sings how much he aprreciated, cared and felt deeply about the good old game of cricket....

[JAEWINNZ]

en(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/­Catchy_Shubby_Cricket

Read it and weep jackass.

[lemonsherry]

oh my god, is everyone an oblivious idiot or is this just you following the trend of youtube members?

do you listen to every song and take the lyrics at face value?

'And if it pop, no one can mend itCause if they mend it, you can easily bend it'

i think i can figure out the cultural and social nuances of peter tosh's music better than you can. especially since it is WELL KNOWN in jamaica that the song is referncing rough sex.

[TH3MOV3M3NT]

Oh I guess you're mad huh? (LMAO)

You get more ignorant in every reply, and even if the term was used for sex, how are you so sure that he made the song for sexual reasons? You think just because you're Jamaican that counts, correct? NO! Some Jamaicans barley listen to Reggae. Look at your page, not one Reggae video in sight. And who said anything about killing you? That was a laugh! You're practically killing yourself. But I showed my proof so, let's just agree to disagree and move on.

[ericjungleboy]

@TH3MOV3M3NT I think the Jamaican guy understands this song better than you do. Sorry. You'd have to live in Jamaica a while to truly understand reggae music. Most Jamaicans can understand reggae lyrics better than foreigners even if the Jamaican doesn't listen to much reggae, because Jamaicans understand the cultural context that the songs are coming from.

[madisonkai]

@ericjungleboy WELL SAID!!

[tomaitoe]

I agree, no need for the harsh language buuuut.....it is about sex. Nice wiki page, but if it were really about cricket he wouldn't be singing the song like that :)

[leroyrelaxx]

this is A very nice song
