Talk:Pass the Dutchie

A "dutchie" is a blunt?
I think we definitely need some sort of citation that the word "dutchie" was used as slang for blunts before the release of this song. I could be wrong, obviously, but it's my opinion that the word only garnered such a use only after the popularity of this song. Funkeboy 19:56, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I think you would have to prove their was a concept of Blunt before the song was relased and then verify that there is a connection. Thanks, SqueakBox 21:17, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Munchies
"How does it feel when ya got no food?"

Of course this is reffering to the 'munchies', I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with cooking pots and a lot to do with spliffs!!

As a current weed-head I can say that the term currently refers to the use of Dutch Master cigars used to roll marijuana in. The verse about having no food could quite possibly be a subtle reference to the "munchies," being that it is a remake of a song originally about marijuana. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.180.50 (talk) 02:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


 * That is naive and silly, they were talking about hunger not the munchies as in places like Jamaica real people go hungry every day and to imply otherwise is completely unverifiable original research. Thanks, SqueakBox 21:17, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, Mr Socially-Aware College Boy, but the "Mighty Diamonds" original is actually set in Jamaica and asks "How does it feel when you got no HERB?". Jah know! Maikel (talk) 20:57, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

007
The link of the 007 Album directs to AGENT 007, james bond. Thats not right is it?Timothy Barson (talk) 21:11, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Trivia?
I know that "Trivia" sections are deprecated by the WP Manual of Style, and I'm not sure if this is trivia, anyway. Does anyone else think this tidbit is worthy of inclusion in the article?


 * I just listened to the song with headphones, and while most of the voices are biased on the right channel (so that they sound to the right of the listener's center,) whenever they sing the word "stereo" it is distinctly recited on the far right and then repeated on the far left.

Thought it was kind of kewl! :) --Eliyahu S Talk 19:55, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

"Pass the dutchie" = "Pass the pot"
I have always heard that "dutchie" is simply slang for marijuana:

Dutchie = Dutch Oven (a common type of cooking pot) = Pot = Marijuana

If I can find a citation for this, I'll add it to the article.

 * Well, I cannot but agree to this. All this imaginary stuff I read elsewhere about passing a cooking pot with food is probably completely bollocks, and actually, it IS about passing a marijuana cigar(ette) amongst a group of rastas sitting together in a circular round. -andy 92.229.185.19 (talk) 13:38, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Spanish Version
Kumbia Kings covered this song for their album Fuego. Listen ElMeroEse (talk) 06:49, 9 February 2009 (UTC) (I normally don't talk about Spanish songs, but I'm doing this in respect to my sister, who loves their version more than Musical Youth's.)

"Dum Diddly"
Anyone care to explain why the Black Eyed Peas Song "Dum Diddly" is redirected here? I know the song samples Pass the Dutchie, but that not a reason to redirect it... CRocka05 (talk) 22:03, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Doughnut?
If all references to drugs have been removed, then what is the song ostensibly about?

Food? Doughnuts?

When this song was released, no one knew what a "dutchie" was, and no one on the radio offered any definition.

Thirty years later, it turns out to be about pot. BFD. News to me.
