It was a home-made Pineapple Mellotron.

prophetic, considering that this song is in pineapple express and all ...

It still rocks the party when I play it out.

there's a line in this song that sounds like "deep in my heart i abhor ya" which always seemed like an awesome thing to say, but some lyrics websites say that it's "i'm a warrior" which one is it?
― velko, Friday, 29 August 2008 05:36 (fifteen years ago) link
sounds like "deep in my heart I am warrior" since he mentions working hard like a soldier in the beginning of the verse
― El Tomboto, Friday, 29 August 2008 05:39 (fifteen years ago) link
that makes sense, still a badass song
― velko, Friday, 29 August 2008 05:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Damn, I always thought it was 'abhor ya' too
― moley, Friday, 29 August 2008 06:22 (fifteen years ago) link
sounds wayyyy more like "abhor ya"
― ledge, Friday, 29 August 2008 08:19 (fifteen years ago) link
for one thing a brit would never pronounce it "war-ya"
― ledge, Friday, 29 August 2008 08:20 (fifteen years ago) link
Not that Eddy Grant is a Brit.
I've always heard it as "abhor ya" in the same way that he sings "you're a bastard, just like Pharaoh" on "War Party" rather than "you're a bad star."

well I don't know what's on his passport but he's lived here long enough to have more than a hint of britspeak.
― ledge, Friday, 29 August 2008 08:32 (fifteen years ago) link
He's not saying "bastard"?!

One of my friends live on Electric Avenue, and another lives in a house in Hackney owned by Eddie Grant! What are the chances...

if you're going to go through the trouble rocking all the way down to electric avenue, I don't think you need to take it any higher.

So many 80s videos featured someone standing up only to FALL THROUGH THE WATER FLOOR.
OUT ON THE PLAYGROUND.
And Vienna's Calling.

Grindcore band Anal Cunt covered the beginning of the song on track "Eddy Grant" from their 1994 album Everyone Should Be Killed.
