Oink - why? Where does it come from?

[Jeff]

I hear this "oink!" in dancehall tunes all the time...like here:

What's the reason/origin of this sound, where does it come from?

It's driving me mad!

Jah bless

Lone ranger loved animal noises:

the hog goes Oink
the frog goes Ribbit
etc.

My guess is some guy heard the shouts wrong.

"Oink!" sounds abit like the "Right!" shout. Also "Riddim!" is very similar to "Ribbit!".

Does anyone know the origin of the shout "Bim!"?

I just love it when DJ's shout this ina chune, it makes it fun and funny throughout!

Captain Sinbad is another one who is fond of Oink and Ribbit

In another thread somebody suggested it might be "repeat"

As for Bim, i think that might just be a general exclamation noise, a bit like cho

the earliest "oinK2 I know of was recorded with Marley's "Punky Reggae Party"

[earlgrey]

I always associated it with Fathead but there could well be earlier "oinks"

[chapmanra]

"What About Right Oink" by Clint Eastwood & General Saint was out on their Two Bad DJ album which is from 1980 I believe. That is before Fathead really hit the scene I think.

once again, Bob Marley already sang "oink oink" in 1977 / 78
