Linda’s SoCS prompt…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “a song from your childhood.” Think of a song from your childhood and just write. Have fun!
Oh, there are so many songs from my childhood, ranging from Western to Bhangra, Kenyan to Bollywood, that I could pick… Which one?, is the question!
I’m choosing Pass the Dutchie by Musical Youth.
When this song came out, it was around my seventh birthday.
The tune was infectious, and it was playing on the radio all the time, as well as on Top of the Pops!
I loved it.
Some unfamiliar words in the lyrics, that were English, but with Jamaican patois sprinkled within, meant we didn’t always know what we were singing, but we sang along, anyway!
I was so excited to find the lyrics printed in a copy of The Sun, (don’t judge! Pops always got it for the Sun Bingo numbers!) one morning, that I cut them out, and tried to memorise them!
It’s still a bit ambiguous an out what a dutchie actually referenced, though.
A ‘dutchie’ is a Jamaican cooking pot, but the original lyrics passed a ‘kutchie’ around, which is a pot that holds cannabis.😳
I guess it would have been immoral to have a band comprising of children singing about weed…
Still, I love that song. They even performed it live last summer at the Comonwealth Games in Birmingham!
Enjoy!
