A new feature has been added to the sidebar of mwbh . "Rivers of Babylon" was a popular song written by the late Brent Dowe and Trevor McNaughton of The Melodians , which was recorded by the German disco band Boney M in 1978. No, they don't look German, do they? That's because they hail from either Aruba, Jamaica, or Montserrat. But, back to the tune already. It is based on Psalm 137, or Psalm 136...

"This station rules the nation with version!" declared Ewart 'U Roy' Beckford, OD on his way-back-in-the-day tune (somewhere between 1969 and 1970.) That original declaration has been copied and sampled a number of times in various versions, the most popular of which was by the short-lived group Musical Youth in 'Pass the Dutchie' - their version of the Mighty Diamonds' 'Pass the Cutchie'.
Very rare video of Boney M. performing Rivers Of Babylon using the original lyrics as performed by The Melodians. Due to the success of this video, Frank Farian decided to re-write the lyrics in to the ones we all know and love, and the rest is history...
