Gamma, I am puzzled as to the relevance of your comment in the context of this thread.

This particular thread was not about things like understanding Jamaican patois, slang or colloquialism! It was simply a historical reference -- a celebration if you will -- to the fact that Jamaican-born artists have on more than one occasion made it to the very top of the US national charts (the all-important Hot 100). I am sure you saw the hits I listed!

I am sure you can understand why I am a bit puzzled at your post here.

you're right i think its the wrong thread ... on this topic someone questioned his choice of song and not being understood ... so i have been pointing out successful songs where people have no idea as to what the lyircis say...

No Problem

I had suspected that there was a slight mistake in your choice of thread. Nevertheless, this does not in any way make your comment less relevant in the context of the overall picture.
