My God! I have found the actual video from 32 years ago!

I was searching for an audio clip that is as clear as the copy that I have and I stumbled on the actual video.

There was a hip hop dance step called the "Cabbage Patch" that was very popular in 1987/1988, but he introduced his own version of the cabbage patch and that's why the video mainly shows people dancing. (Look at the dancer at the 10:28 minute mark).

He spent the first 2:40 minutes of the video showing the Juju people that he is also a master with the instruments (remember that he had a rivalry with certain juju legends whose names I won't mention).

He went through all the elements of Nigerian music in this track. He started out with the instruments, then switched to typical fuji music, then he switched to hip hop, then to message music and finally to praise singing.


This was the national anthem of 1988. To give you an idea of what I mean I'll post some comments from the YouTube video.



Dahiru A maidace

This is d song I nearly memorised at d 80s as a hausa kids, even though I don't know what d singer is saying. In fact I love Barr. So much may his soul rest in peace, this song motivate me to learn Yoruba, at present I intends to marry a Yoruba.

Daud Salman

Waoooo, it is now İ understand most of English part of it. Those days we just dey follow am no understanding. Rest on Alhaji Agba.

Yinka Omolaja

It was a very big hit in the music industry then. I could remember that in virtually all functions then, that Song was played regardless of the class of the gathering.
Like someone said, it pushed Juju and other forms of music aside until Shina Peter Landed ACE.
Fuji Garbage: An album of all time.

But honestly, you'll totally love this song if you understand music. Listen to the way the bassline and chords change everytime he changes the theme of the song, then think about the fact that he has bassline and chords while only using percussion instruments.

I'm going to narrate what I remember about the video and translate what the talking drummer was saying.


Bear in mind that the video was released 30 years ago. This is the only part of the video that I remember.


It was a party scene and Sunny Ade and his Golden Mercury were on the bandstand. Much of what they were singing about was playing out on the dance floor in front of them.

An old man was dancing with a young lady. Then the old man touched the young lady innapropriately. The lady smacked his hand (did she slap him?) and walked away.

The talking drummer saw what happened and played that line. The old man pretended that he didn't hear the talking drummer and that he was not the one being referred to. Then one of the backup singers said, "They didn't hear you. Say it again". So the talking drummer played it again and this time Sunny and members of the band sang along.

"Ma f'owo kan be yen, ijo ni o ba mi jo o, daddy!"

Translated - "Don't touch me there, we're just dancing, daddy!"

(The word "daddy" doesn't mean that he is her father. It's a way of referring to an old man).

The old man was stunned and Sunny and his singers continued to mock him ( "C-caution" ) until he left the dance floor in shame.

Then someone else on the dance floor was trying to do a complicated dance step, but he ended up suffering from waist pain.

The talking drummer saw that and played the second line.



"Sunny Ade ma pa mi o,
Owo Robb ti won,
Maa kan mi ni badi,
Ki'n to dele."


Translated - "Sunny Ade don't kill me o!
The cost of Robb is too much.
Don't break my waist,
Before I get home."

Robb is an ointment that's used to treat body pain.



You can hear these two famous phrases from the 10th to the 14th minute mark in the first video below.

Unfortunately I can't find the original video, but you can hear the audio in the two videos below.

The other thing that made me love this album when it was released was the guitar line at the beginning and end of the album. I loved to play it on the keyboard and guitar. You can hear it very clearly in the second video below.

I can remember so many phrases, but I can't remember the names of the songs in which they were uttered.


"Elenu ireke ti gbe enu e fun pombe pombe".

Now, what song was that? I can't remember!

I remember the phrase, obviously because it's funny, but I can't remember the name of the song!

This is where it's from. This is the original video (can you believe that this is 27 years old?? How time flies).
