Simply one of the greatest reggae cuts. Ever. What's that you say? There's no actual video in this video? The awesomeness of this track surpasses the need for video!
Listen to it - you've no doubt heard it sampled here and there, might have heard a DJ drop it in a mix more than once. Maybe it's the would-be-haunting-if-it-wasn't-so-badass horn line. Maybe it's the echo. Maybe it's the minimal 80's dub production value. Maybe it's just Sister Nancy's offhand, amused-yet-no-nonsense attitude at her critics.
Maybe it's all of the above. And then some.
Sister Nancy - "Bam Bam"
(Bonus video in case I'm too hung over to do this tomorrow - the original version, complete with images of lions, weed & Haile Selassie. Though unfortunately not all three at the same time.)
Toots & The Maytals - "Bam Bam"
Next: A nurse! A mime! Cross dressing!
