Banana Splits Theme - tra la la wacky primary colour childhood post-psychedelia slapstick

Buffalo Soldier - boring Sunday afternoon Radio 2 Q Magazine shit

No contest.

Having heard other Marley songs years before their commercial release, DJ Seani B says the originals versions were different.

"There was a watering down from the real authentic reggae, which was more drum and basic, to a more commercial style which would appeal to the masses."

And although Jamaican music draws inspiration from a wide spectrum of sounds - including country music and R&B - he thinks the cuddly cartoon characters would not have been on Marley's radar.

"He was a serious man, I very much doubt that he would have heard of them."

That's why he was playing football with TV's Danny Baker then.

DJ Seani B : "Oh yeah, I heard all them Bob Marley records years before they were released. Oh yeah, and I also saw the Sex pistols when Elvis Costello was their guitarist!"

(actually, that last one was actually said to me in all seriousness after a host of unproveable but unlikely claims...)

Is his real name Bobby Gillespie?

Seanie B was born in 1974.

He looks a lot older than that in Sharpe.
