I live in a state where gambling and prostitution are legal and you can walk around downtown with a beer in your hand, but possession of an ounce is prison.  Methinks our law enforcement people have skewed priorities. I miss the good old days.... And this song just brings it home, if for no other reason than that damned reggae beat. Someday, I'll share my story about the first time I danced in a public place to reggae music...

8 in Octal is 10. So, yes, I agree, it's a 10.

Still good song after all these years. Seen them live in Sunsplash 82 - GRAEAT! Unbelivable good and accurate sound, with Sly and Robbie as live rhythm machine.
