Mr Loverman by Shabba Ranks
Shabba Ranks is a homophobic idiot, so he is fair game when it comes to attacking his 'music'. The dark period in the early 90s, when there was an upsurge of interest in cod-reggae and ragga, allowed Mr Ranks to achieve chart success with this almost unintelligible love-song to himself. This is the man who name-checks himself in every one of his songs, and inspired a thousand wedding DJs to shout 'shabba!' between spinning the discs. Anyway, 'Mr Loverman' is a crap song, and the idea that Shabba could be the answer to any woman's needs - sexual or otherwise - seems highly unlikely. It would be a miracle if she could understand what he's trying to say anyway.
Crap lyrics: Who knows? 'Mr' and 'Loverman' are about the only words that can be distinguished. He ain't Morrissey, though.
Verdict: Should be banished to the ragga dungeon, taking Shaggy, Chaka Demus & Pliers and Inner Circle with him.
