28 years ago to the day the Egyptian president Sadat was killed by some fanatics. I read about this today and i remember an early 80s dancehall tune with the DJ chatting "Wha dat wha dat/ dem shouldn't kill Sadat"
Does anyone know what tune that is?

Peter Ranking & General Lucky from their LP on Silver Camel. I don't remember the title of the specific song though. I'll give it a spin today and get back to you (unless some one else helps out).

»Thou Shalt Not Kill«

*Whaddat? Whaddat? Them kill Anwar Sadat
Whaddat? Whaddat? Them kill Anwar Sadat
Them never use a knife them never use a cutlass
Them never use a knife them never use a cutlass
Seh them shoot him in him back with a shot
Seh them shoot him in him back with a shot*
