Good that this is back in rotation at least on the eclectic mix as I still like to call it.

a very good song. I have been travelling to the S.A.D.C region twice every yr for the past 9 yrs. I understand 75% of the words. Fantastic sing ... I only wish you knew wat the song is about

This is most uniform rating distribution I've seen. Ratings flat all across the board.

This was a grower...first I didn't really notice it...then it became slowly unbearable. Make it stop!

Someone already made a "Pass the Dutchie" reference. Never mind.

If you played this backward and bit more slowly you would hear "Don't Worry, Be Happy"...

Yeah I agree, what ever you said. Is it me or are the words getting harder to understand these days.

Sounds like an African Musical Youth (Pass the Dutchy). Blahhhhhh.

I just gave this a 10 - I probably would have given it a 9 or even an 8, but i know there is probably some nitwit out there that gave this a 1 just because he couldn't understand the lyrics, so I had to up my score to even things out a bit.
I was actually thinking of doing the same thing. The world has too many nitwits. I gave it an 8 just because it is an excellant song.

the language makes it slightly interesting... the music itself is pretty boring. annoying, really.

No. You're imagining it. Chill. It's a great song, no matter what gibberish it may be written in. Besides, I can't understand half the words in English songs.

Actually, I thought maybe the Kinks just got back from Africa. But I hear the Heads similarity as well. Sounds like good background, but not a favorite I want to turn up.
And I say again...

BIG DEAL!! Am I imagining it, or does afro-pop seems to come in for more of these sorts of comments than other world music? Granted, I discovered African music in a country bar in Kenya many years ago and have been hooked since. But if Bill restricted the playlist to our one common language, I'd find RP just a shadow of its currently rollicking, ridiculously good-time self.

Would have been much more creative if so!

Hmmmm, sounds like a spin off of some Johnny Clegg or visa-versa? Anyone know anything bout this guy? He needs to be told about creating verses maybe.
