Hallo all, I'm James from Italy.
I'm searching for a song I heard in the early 80's, but I don't know the name of the performer nor a single word of the song. I have made a midi file, which represent the gingle of the main theme (reggae style) but I cannot attach it to this message. If someone wants to help me, I could send it in a private message. The lyrics of the main theme are something like this:

POOOSTI, PUNCHEE, PAN IT LEFT ANSIDE...
POOOSTI, PUNCHEE, PAN IT LEFT ANSIDE...
YOU GONNA WON.....

excuse me for the nonsense of what I wrote but, like I said, I don't know the real words. Does anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance, James

Ohhhhhhhh, there you go girl....you took the trophy. You must be good at crossword puzzles cause I had no clue what the song was. Good job.

Hey Princess , no not into cross word puzzles, but I love good classic reggae songs like the above.

Since the trophy is given away, there's a little more information:
Musical Youth(Junior, Kelvin, Michael, Dennis, Patrick);
"Pass the Dutchie" (Dutchie=Dutch, slang for joint/spliff)
Released 1982 on MCA Records(Germany);
B-side: Please give love a chance

Pass de Dutchie pon de left han side
Pass the joint/spliff to the left.

big up for not posting "eh?"'s all over di board!!

by way of correction, as a caribbean person with lots of jamaican friends - KOUCHIE means spliff, and DUCHIE is a type of pot, or dutch oven. as the two words sounds similar, they are often mixed up.

Okay... here's yuh trivia question fi di day:

Does anyone remembah di song dat Musical Youth a ripped off fi dat... both melody an many of di lyrics?

(and if Musical Youth is classic reggae, den so is Snow!)

(...eh!)
