William sent me YouTube links to these two vastly entertaining music videos that happened to be on a mix tape we listened to when we were little. They’re pretty dire one-hit wonders, but they’re also dead catchy and pretty irresistible.
The first one is Musical Youth’s “Pass the Dutchie” from The Youth of Today (MCA, 1982), which apparently performed very well on the UK’s Top of the Pops.
How does it feel when you’ve got no food? (Bloody hungry, is how. What sort of a question is that?)
The second is “Walk the Dinosaur” by Was (Not Was), from their (embarrassingly titled) 1990 release What Up, Dog? (Capitol). I’m not sure what walking the dinosaur refers to, although I suspect it has something to do with an obsolete dance move; note the awkward, pigeon-like head bobbing they’ve forced upon the Pebbles clones.
Boom boom, acka lacka boom boom.
