This generation
Rules the nation
With version

Music happen to be the food of love
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub

I say: Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

So I stopped to find out what was going on.
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
'Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)
You could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food ?)

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

'Cause me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist
Me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist, I say

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

You play it on the radio, a so me say, we a go hear it on the stereo
A so me know you a go play it on the disco
A so me say we a go hear it on the stereo

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

I say east, say west, say north and south (on the left hand side)
This is gonna make us jump and shout (on the left hand side)

1982 called and wants its song back

I hate you, Doc, I hate you.

'Cos I can't get that f%$#&ing song outta my head now!


Damn your eyes, sir!

Quoted: I hate you, Doc, I hate you. 'Cos I can't get that f%$#&ing song outta my head now! Damn your eyes, sir!

Sorry. I cant either so I thought I would be nice and share... Im walking around the house chanting:

'Cause me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass

!

Step away from the crack pipe.

Quoted: !

Fonzie Frige says: "Liver? SPIDERS I don't like that. I don't eat that. And I don't hang out with guys who eat it like them."  

I assume the lyrics aren't supposed to MEAN anything, or it escapes me.   Maybe its one of those songs that SOUNDS cool.

Problem with young musicians is like child actors... they do great as kids then you never hear from them again. I mean I have socks older than the guitarist of this band when they made it.

Pass the "Kutchie" (meaning pot pipe) was the original version IIRC

what in the hell is this thread talking about?

I know that song, note for note, but I had no clue what the real words were.






I saw the lyrics.....skip over.....skip over...had no clue.

Then scrolled down to the album cover......




Back up to reread the entire thread. Ill be damned. Had no clue wtf the words were to that song.

Wish I still didnt!

Will it be like this when I get old?

Quoted: Will it be like this when I get old?

Only if you are so blessed.


Trust us, between all us grey haired fucks, we know cemetaries full of dust we knew "back in the day".


Everyone doesnt get to be old.

Sweet, another song about smoking pot.

smoke another one and go listen to U2

VH1:

The success that was predicted for teenaged ska and reggae band Musical Youth when their pro-marijuana single "Pass the Dutchie" sold more than four million copies in 1982   failed to come to fruition. Within three years, the band, who featured vocalist Dennis Seaton, keyboardist Michael Grant, and the Waite brothers -- Patrick, who played bass and Freddie Junior, who played drums -- had gone their separate ways. Although a reunion was conceived in 1993, the premature death of Patrick Waite at the age of 30 while in police custody put an end to these plans. The members of Musical Youth were attending Duddleston Manor School in Birmingham, England when the group was formed by the Waite brothers and their father, Frederick Waite, a former member of Jamaican vocal group the Techniques, who initially handled lead vocals. After the band signed with MCA in 1981, Dennis Seaton was recruited to sing lead. The following year, they hit gold with their single "Pass the Dutchie," based on the Mighty Diamonds' hit "Pass the Kouchie." Although the band released several subsequent singles, including "Unconditional Love" with Donna Summer and "Sixteen," they were unable to match the success of "Pass the Dutchie." The group splintered after the departure of Seaton in 1985. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide
