Notes[]
- The song was one of the first hits of the Jamaican ska music style. It topped the music charts in Ireland and was also a #2 hit in England.
- There is an urban legend that a then-unknown Rod Stewart played the harmonica in the song, however the actual harmonica player was a performer named Pete Hogman of the Pete Hogman Blues Band of the 1960s.
