[edit] Bob Marley page says he did a version of it

so did he or didn't he? actually it says "his" raggae songs which kind of implies he wrote it. you kids get together and figure this out will you? 71.59.195.91 15:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

He did, I have it, It's awesome, Case closed. --Xinjinbei 15:56, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


Bob Marley died in 1981, It says somewhere on this page that this song was recorded by The Toyes in 1983 or 1996, whatever. Case Open. It's either that:
  • Bob Marley made the song before The Toyes
  • The Toyes made it before Bob Marley, and before his death (before 1981)
  • Bob Marley never recorded the song (Which means that I'm not listening to Bob Marley right now, but to some other dude. GOD DAMNIT! WHY?!?!?! WHY?!!??!!)

[edit] Is someone smoking something?

Currently, this page claims that the song was "originally released by reggae group The Toyes on their 1996 self titled album," and later claims that "the Toyes released this on a 7" vinyl single in 1983." Which was it? (I think I remember the song from the early '80s, so I'm betting that "originally ... 1996" is wrong somehow.) Tom Duff 21:55, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Must not have been good shit...--Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY

[edit] Removed lyrics

I removed the lyrics to the song, as they're presumably violate WP:C.

While you're at it, the formatting could use some work so it doesn't appear as all one big paragraph.

[edit] Urban legend

A recent edit changed the urban legend text to claim that the original version of the song was by Bob Marley, not The Toyes. There are were no citations in the original article, nor in the revision, to back up either claim. However, the external links to The Toyes' web site could be considered as evidence that The Toyes recorded the original song. With that in mind, I have reverted the edit.

If you believe that the edit was correct, please be sure to cite your references.

[edit] "Radio Play"

To be frank, who cares if some radio station in SF plays it? Tons do. Should we list them all? I'm removing it, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. --Viper007Bond 05:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toyes v. Sublime

Shouldn't the Toyes album be in the box instead of Sublime. Nothing against Sublime, but the Toyes version has been around a lot longer as is just as famous. It is all I ever hear -- then again, the radio stations I listen to play rock and some reggae, but none play punk. Swlenz (talk) 00:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
