I was just listening to some old school reggae the other day and noticed something I hadn't heard before (or ever heard anyone reference):
"Hey you, don't watch that Watch this!"
This is a reference to The Ethiopians' "Reggae Hit the Town," which contains the lyric, "Don't watch that one/ watch this one"
"This is the heavy heavy monster sound"
This is a reference to Dave & Ansel Collins' "Monkey Spanner," which contains the lyric, "This is a heavy heavy monster sound"
I would guess there are probably other references here, with these two being so obvious when you hear them. If anyone recognizes any, let me know!
Whoops. Just realized this is a cover of a Prince Buster song which actually predates the other two (I think). I guess I still have much to learn. :)
