"Pass the Dutchie" by the Birmingham, England reggae/pop schoolboy group Musical Youth peaked at #10 on the US #Billboard #Top40 the week ending February 26, 1983. The single was their only US #Top40 hit, earning Musical Youth their US #OneHitWonder honors. #MusicalYouth #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
My day started with music by #MusicalYouth, then solo material by Kelvin Grant.
Drifted into #TwinPeaks territory with the #Chromatics and other tracks from The Return.
By evening Ukrainian legends #DakhaBrakha in concert, rounded off with #Björk Vespertine Live in concert!
Bedtime: 2 am
Having a very reggae day!
I blame @nesky999.bsky.social for this 😉
I eventually got around to buying all the #MusicalYouth 7" singles in 2018. My paper round money didn't stretch far enough in the early 80's 📰

Me say listen to the bass
Give me a little music,
Make me wind up me waist"
