Musical Youth
Pass The Dutchie
Musical Youth Pass The Dutchie was a song recorded from the 1982 album The Youth of Today. It was a major hit, holding the number one position on the UK singles charts for three weeks in September and October 1982.The song was a cover version of the song "Pass the Koutchie" by The Mighty Diamonds, which deals with the recreational use of cannabis, "koutchie" being slang for a cannabis pipe. For the cover version by Musical Youth, the song's title was bowdlerized to "Pass the Dutchie", and all obvious drug references were removed from the lyrics; e. g., when the original croons "How does it feel when you got no herb?", the cover version refers to "food" instead. Musical Youth Pass The Dutchie was first championed by radio DJ John Peel and became an instant hit when it was picked up by MCA Records in September 1983. Musical Youth Pass The Dutchie debuted at no.26 on the chart and rose to no.1 the following week, one of a handful of records to have risen to the top spot from outside the top 20.
Musical Youth Pass The Dutchie Lyrics
This generation
Rules the nation
With version
Music happen to be the food of love
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub
I say: Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn,
give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done,
give me the music make me rock in the dance
It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
How does it feel when you've got no food
You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June
How does it feel when you've got no food
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
How does it feel when you've got no food
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I heard them say
How does it feel when you've got no food
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn,
give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done,
give me the music make me rock in the dance
So I stopped to find out what was going on.
How does it feel when you've got no food
'Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
How does it feel when you've got no food
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
How does it feel when you've got no food
You could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say
How does it feel when you've got no food
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn,
give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done,
give me the music make me rock in the dance
'Cause me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist
Me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist, I say
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn,
give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done,
give me the music make me rock in the dance
You play it on the radio, a so me say, we a go hear it on the stereo
A so me know you a go play it on the disco
A so me say we a go hear it on the stereo
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn,
give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done,
give me the music make me rock in the dance
I say east, say west, say north and south on the left hand side
This is gonna make us jump and shout on the left hand side
