I love this song but have never seen this totally disco-fied version. Swing it!

I distinctly remember falling in love with this song (the original) while watching "Drugstore Cowboy" on video in my parents' basement. Rad.; 8:41 PM

Joanne said...: LOL so true!! I've heard of Desmond Dekker, but I'm not familiar with his music...I'm one of those people that hears a song but doesn't know who sings it and then if I find out years later, I'll be all surprised.."Oh! I never knew HE/SHE sung that song..." Is music edumacation available in a pill format?; 11:03 PM

I am a web designer who lives in the lovely city of Vancouver, BC. I have two etsy shops where I sell cards and birthday calendars & printable stationery & art prints. I also have a popular food blog, but thought it would be a nice thing to keep track of all the little things that might get lost along the way.
