Sweet riddim track. Sweet voice too.Who produced this one? Does anyone remember Errol Lamzi's reggae version of Nanci Grifffith's 'Anyone Can be Somebody's Fool'? It's sweet too. I think it's over the same riddim track as a Hue B lick.
This choooon is better than 'Cockney Translation' , in my humble .....
'So 'ear me now Jamaican, 'ear me now Eastender, me say watch me now dance fan and mix me down selector .... long time me a control bull but now me a mash it in a ar ........' Lyrics, for real! Just level vibes, Smiley.
Don't forget Smiley's 'Cockney TRANSLATOR'. It's on the 'Tongue in Cheek' album. I personally think it's a better lick than 'Cockney Translation'. Well done to 117Equinox for uploading it on YouTube.

The Heptones' Love Me Girl riddim. Credit for real!
