Delroy Wilson : Hey Jude

Derrick Harriott : Monkey Ska

Hey, you're cheating BMD ;-)

This one is the original New Orleans thing, not some monkey reggae:

Dave Bartholomew Monkey Speaks His Mind

Please next time eliminate the doubles out of your data base you lazy monkey

To many Beatles covers in reggae to name, there must be a Trojan Box somewhere...

And where's "Independence Ska" by the Skatalites?

;D

[matt]

Christ BMD your photo is starting to irritate me big time

[bmd]

Oh you bugger you Ekki, I checked for doubles but now I see I missed a whole 1!
And the reason I included Dave Bartholemew's tune is that it was without doubt played on the early Sounds, ... there are too many references to it for it not to have been, unless you know that it was recorded by someone before him?

I took it off, becuase it was annoying people, then was asked to bring it back.....!

now I'm going to remove it again..
Frankly i agree with you, whoever that bloke is, he's an annoying looking git ... and he's got parkinsons too,,

[zapatoo]

Ken Parker - Shanking Mankey

[ekki]

Bartholomew is the original and it sure was played on early sounds, hence the JA covers. Wicked tune!
But it's still twice in the list, as is the Thorpe version. ;D
Mutabaruka did a version too.

Oh, and another useless fact, "I'm a believer" by the Ethiopians is not a Monkees tune....

[ekki]

The monkey speaks his mind

Three monkey sat on a coconut tree
Discussing things has they are said to be
Said one to the other, now listen you two
There is a certain rumour that cant be true
That man descended from our noble race
The very idea is a big disgrace
No monkey ever deserted his wife
Nor her baby and ruin her life
Yeah..the monkey speaks his mind

And you never known a mother monk
To leave her baby causing it to plunk
Nor pass them on one to another
Till they scarcely knew who was their mother
Yeah...the monkey speaks his mind

And another thing you will never see
A monkey build a fence around a coconut tree
And let all the coconuts go to waist
Forbidding all other monkeys to come and taste
Now if I build a fence around this tree
Starvation will cause you to steal from me
Yeah..the monkey speaks his mind

Here is another thing a monkey wont do
Go out at night and get on a stew
Or use a gun a club or a knife
To take another monkey's life

Yes man descended the worthless bum
But my god brothers from us he did not come

Yeah..the monkey speaks his mind

[bmd]

Oh, and another useless fact, "I'm a believer" by Tyrone Taylor is a Monkees tune....

Don't know that one...

Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey

[bmd]

Excellent, Ekki finds the link between the two !!!

[ekki]

[nickbug]

Fave Beatles reggae cover is You Won't See Me by the Clarendonians. Not a Beatles fan (I leave that to my older brother) so I would add 'Beatles Got To Go' by Keith & Tex.

[lankou2]

you mean Beatles Got to Go by Ken (Lazarus) & Keith (Lyn) ! ; )

[zapatoo]

Ekki may have a soft spot for "Wenn Ich Beatles Hür" by Cologne's Karneval funsters De Bläck Fööss ;D



...or, on the other hand, he may not

[ekki]

Hell no, Joe

[zapatoo]

Hell no, Joe

Hey, Ekki mate - it's almost "The Fifth Season" - where's your Karneval spirit! ;D



Loss mer singe!!!

[nickbug]

lankou said "you mean Beatles Got to Go by Ken (Lazarus) & Keith (Lyn) ! ; ) "

Spot on..............I seemed to be getting a lot of things wrong yesterday

[lankou2]

never mind, my memory is shaky sometimes too!
That song is all the more funny that Ken Lazarus covered at least one Beatles song a few years later!
