I'm reliably told that this song is huge in reggae circles, having made number one in all manner of reggae charts and listings in Jamaica, USA and the UK. And Marvia, a Jamaican-born singer now living in Canada, belts it out with raucous enthusiasm. Despite all that, the song doesn't register with me being both repetitive and melodically baring a remarkable resemblance to "Give Me Oil In My Lamp"! Maybe I need to watch Marvia's video, shot in London, to catch a fire.
