Admiral Bailey - Kill Them With It


Produced by King Jammy
Backed by Steelie & Cleavie


You put your left foot in you take your right foot out
You put your left foot in and then you shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey and then you turn around
If that's what it's all about...

And nine other great tracks of which I recommend "Me Head A Hurt Me" cause apart from the tough riddim it got a good story of what to do with a headache in Jamaica. Granny say mek we go a country to the bush doctor.
