Question of the Day

What does the term "Pass the duchy on the left hand side" mean? And is that a little boy singing part of that song or just a girl with a high pitch voice?

Without looking, I know for a fact those singers were young teenage boys from Jamaica. The name escapes me.... I'll look it up.

This was another one of the songs from my college days, otherwise known as "The Worst 4-year Music Era in History", 1989-93.

Original recorded as pass the kouchie by the mighty diamonds the song was changed to pass the dutchie by the musical youth as to make it safer for kids. Mind you kouchie is gateway slang and may soon have you asking your pusher to graft you some dank herbonium so you can j-bill a quad before some heat score tries to hot knife your entire stash.
