Matumbi originally recorded this as a joke with some spare time they had in the studio. Dennis Bovell (the guitarist) is lead vocal rather than the two other vocalists they had in the group because they were messing about. Trojan took this single because Hot Chocolates, 'Brother Louie' was doing well on the charts at the time so in UK's tradition of reggae covers they released the song.
