It was played again. Hope you did not listen to it

Stop playing this!!!!!!
Oh, that's cool. The song rating is on the sign on their album cover. Right color and everything. 
I don't particularly care for either rap or reggae, but for some reason this one works for me.  Any song that uses the word "raggamuffin" and gets away with it is worthy of some respect.
It really is hard to like this - such a mishmash of styles, very grating on the ear. Hence the low rating not because omg it might have rap or rasta or hints of Sting's soulcages etc etc - just not all at the same time! {#Stop}
RP folk really are down with reggae,with all the Sucko-barfos on this one. A shame as this is an intriguing and attention-grabbing song, though it does have a 'longeur' in the middle when the guy's semi-rapping in what sounds like Hebrew. 8 from the reggaephilic Nottingham jury.

Harsh. But funny. And I have to agree with the sentiment, even if it's anatomically impossible for me.

Wow, this song as had some harsh rating. I am not automatically in love with ska but that was pretty cool.

This is what happens when you complain about Led Zeppelin.  Good job. 

I'd rather have my balls removed with a blunt garden tool than listen to this rap crap again.

I like it! I'm surpirsed at the low rating, I know it can't be everyone's cup of tea, but I would have thought the chanting/dub feel would appeal to more people.
What is it with bands that think that unintelligible lyrics are a good thing? Take this song, are we supposed to think he's being profound because he's mumbling? I don't get it...
It didn\'t start out well with me either. Especially the chorus--irritating. Then after another minute, I realized I was feeling good with it, even grooving to it. I think the switch happened around the time the singing went from English to (?). Thus I liked it overall.
Suggestion: a song with rating under 4 drops off the playlist automatically. This could be the first.
is he saying: blah blah blah blah blah blah?
A travesty
NOPE. . .NOT GOOD!

That's because they're a local band located in Austin, Texas. AMG, won't have a listing for this band. Here's their website.
quite possibly the worst selection I have heard on RP to date.
Farsi! COOL

Well, I say if you don't like it....change the station. But I LOVE IT.

This is a band from Austin Texas -- if you ever get a chance to see them live, do so. They ROCK!
