Original big bad man tune, but did you know...

So Jammy and Wayne made this lovely ditty, I'm sure you'll have heard it before. A tune which has been remixed/refixed a record number of times. Over 180 versions to be wiki precise.



But did you know they got the idea from a rock demo on their Casio MT-40 keyboard! Check dis!!



The rock demo rhythm was actually based on Eddie Cochran's song 'Somethin' Else'.
So really, we have Eddie to thank for the 80's digital reggae revolution. Oh and Jive bunny. C'mon everybody!
