Michigan vs. Smiley ☻

This happens to be your official introduction -tion-tion
of the (something) called Sugar Daddy…
Every day the people talk about Smiley / what happen to I Sugar Daddy ?
Don’t you know that I’m sweeter than candy / Man I’m nicer than the cakes and the pastry
Don’t you judge me through my nice personality
don’t you judge me through my verbal verbosity
you must first know my intellectuality – put away the practical and take up the theory (gwan!)
Sugar Daddy, the Sugar Daddy style –  man  its Michigan and Smiley
Every day the people talk about Michi (ribit !)  / what happen to I Super- Smiley ? (jab it!)
Don’t you know that my eyes can be dreamy
I’m sweeter than the milk and the honey (Lord have mercy!)
Don’t you judge my I-inna-tegrity / let it be known unto you generously
That it’s I-man General Smiley / chanting the microphone intelligently
Sugar Daddy, the Sugar Daddy –  man its Michigan and Smiley…
Om ba da da dai unh, unh unh –  UNH !
Me have me JSC, me GCE my BSC and my PHD –
you put them together it’s my DJ degree at the college of science and technology
and later on accomplished at the university
now Michigan and Smiley give you inna stylee (lord)
Sugar Daddy, the Sugar Daddy –  man its Michigan and Smiley
Every day the people talk about Michi  / what happen to I man Smiley ?
Don’t you know I man control the army – man the air force, the marines and the navy
don’t you know that no money can’t buy me
drink of music and never get thirsty –
don’t you take I man for no luxury
Sugar Daddy, the Sugar Daddy style –  man  its Michigan and Smiley..
Under the distinguished patronage of Michi and Smiley
A special livication to your mommy and daddy
I and I say this personally –  (watch it )
Michi,  Smiley – coffee, and tea, and hill, valley in town, country, and  land and sea,
it’s YOU and ME…

White Reggae

I like Reggae music a lot.
I know some people don’t feel this way, so I’m sorry if you don’t care for it.
(If you know you don’t, you should probably leave now.)

I have noticed how hard it is for white bands to play authentic reggae sound. Sometimes they try – but the drum and bass don’t work together and although each player is attempting reggae, it doesn’t end up there. D’yer Maker by Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton’s I Shot the Sheriff, the Eagles’ Hotel California, 10 CC’s Dreadlock Holiday, even Steely Dan’s Haitian Divorce all fall short of being reggae, although they try.  I love all of these songs and consider them favorites… but they don’t SKANK ! I know a lot of Two-Tone ska bands did get the sound down but I am talking about all-white bands doing the one-drop skank here.

Tell me your favorite white reggae songs.
