I'm not sure why this damn song hooked me, but it did. I usually avoid lightweight reggae imitators (sometimes referred to as "cod reggae"). I first heard it over ten years ago posted on a long gone blog, Muzik Kurier. It's all about the pace and the bass. The lyrics are super corny, à la "You're my disco dancin' daddy, doin' it right". Clout was supposedly South Africa's answer to Abba and maybe they were. This song though is an outlier and that's unfortunate because it's baddass, so catchy that I wish they had more like it.
Here's the original, first on YouTube so you can test drive it,
The second is a download link (the mp3 link goes directly to a download
at Mediafire). Then there's an extended mix and a remix that someone
did. Now all we need is a cod dub version.
