Yup - they took it from Prince Buster, one of the
Jamaican legends. Suggs did a radio documentary
series on the history of Ska, which is where I
heard about it.

The "Hey you, don't watch dat, watch dis"
intro was added by Madness to the original.

Madness' own site (http://www.madness.co.uk/)
is on its holidays at the moment, but take a look at
http://www.madnotmad.fsnet.co.uk/1979.html

Cheers
Martin
