Bonnie and Clyde reference

[Gar]

Anyone know what the Lee Scratch Perry dub song is that starts with the lyrics "Don't be like Bonnie and Clyde if you want to stay alive"?

This is a bit irrelevent but can someone identify which Dillinger (I think its Dillinger at least) that makes reference to Bonny and clyde as well. Thanks in advance.

Bonnie & Clyde are also mentioned in Desmond Dekker & the Aces Israelites.

The film "Bonnie & Clyde" (1967) was very popular film, and Jamaica is a country that loves action movies, especially those with outlaws. That would explain why two American gangsters would find themselves in Jamaican songs some thirty years after they were shot down.

lone ranger´s wicked a go run(cuss cuss) also features a reference to bonny and clyde:

"say don´t go abroad and don´t go disgrace your wife ca you will end up like a bonny and clyde"

I think it's Dread Ina Jamdong from Jah Lion's Colombian Colly. Lee Perry's fingers were all over this.

Philip 'Papa' Levi's Bonnie and Clyde was a big tune back in the early 80s. Released just after his big hit Mi God Mi King.
