what the fuck

 

not really getting much congo natty off that but its unbelievable they released it ...must be a single if its got a video. incredible. How can you follow something like that.

maybe with this

 

Yeah admitted not the typical CN jungle style but it reminded me a bit of this;

 

When I saw Georgie Fame at the Venue in the early 80s he did some cringingly dreadful reggae-ish thing which also involved talking in a faux Caribbean accent to, I think, his bongo player. Who he called "Red top" or "Red cap". IIRC, which I probably don't.

Reggae was really mainstream for a while, so I suppose some ill-judged bandwagon-jumping was inevitable, though TBF Georgie Fame had had bluebeat and ska influences way back.

I don't think the song was one of his early ones, though they don't really work nowadays:

Singing calypso with bogus accents wasn't seen as especially strange.

 

The lyrics on that dont do him any favours either.
Imitation can be the sincerest form of flattery, but numbers like that arent sincere and they're not flattering - its imitation as spoof

 

Don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but Mark Perry from Alternative TV does a cracking cover of Ken Boothe's Whole World's Down On Me:

 

Good shout and welcome.

 

Had a quick trawl through the early cod catches and couldn't see this anywhere. I've just acquired it in a massive bag of free 7s. I'll be releasing this back to the sea

 

The Zlatan song by the youngster who finished 5th in this year's eurovision. Bonus cheese.
