@rayshaunmusic  they basically mean the same, but that was a different time. It was simple then. Now bend over and hot fuk, are what the kids nowadays hear. SMH

Slack.

[djambung]

I was reading about Bob Marleys days in JA prior to coming to UK and Welding was referred to as having sex, and by the sound of it soldering is in that same vein - I remember a version of this rhythm "Natty Dread A what she want" as a response to this tune - great tune Thanks guys for loadin up nice to share with the brothers -

Soldering a what de young gal want, soldering

She said she don't want no young man

Cause young man drink too much white rum

She said she don't want no soul man

Cause soul man fast asleep in bed

She said she don't want no dreadlock

Cause dreadlock smoke too much kylie

[c2xCr3w]

@mrbillhicks cause dreadlock smoke too much haile

[mrbillhicks]

@c2xCr3w ("Kylie" is another way of saying "kolly weed"; the "soul" man was an "old" man in the original remark.) When the song appeared in 1975 in Kingston it was banned by the radio stations and not only became a smash hit but prompted a lot of copycat versions. Though they didn't understand the words, the Bahian crowd knew all the lyrics and sang along: the massed phonemes leveling out into credible syllables.

[collinstevens]

Indeed what does "soldering" mean? It seems to be used across a number of songs around that time and I confess to being totally ignorant to what it's slang for.

[alltoafrica]

@collinstevens Yeah????

[PederDerDepp]

what does "soldering" mean in this case???

[collinstevens]

@PederDerDepp This seems to explain it PederDer

antimoon.com/forum/ t1639.htm (remove spaces) It refers to dudes who drink. I would say that in this song he's saying that the girl wants a dude who's a drinker or more "respectable" than a Rasta ganja smoker
