Murder She Wrote - Chaka Demus and Pliers (Video)

[Warning, there is some Jamaican pidgin]

I meant to mention - I Shot the Sheriff by Bob Marley is actually a song about birth control. The "sheriff" is actually a doctor who gave his girlfriend birth control. [" Every time I plant a seed / He said, 'Kill it before it grow"]
