Hi brothers and sisters,

I find the talking/chatting/conversing featured in some reggae songs highly entertaining and I was hoping some of you irie folks could help me find more songs with funny talking in them.

What I'm talking about is for example the talking/intro in the beginning of a song.
Some (dubs only perhaps) also features talking during the track.

Some examples of what I'm talking about:

track 3 "Ordinary Version Chapter 3" on the Impact All Stars "Forward The Bass" From BAF has a very entertaining conversation between Errol T and a beggar who comes to try out his skills in the mixing studio

Big Youth's "Screaming Target" album has a lot of classic intro's too.

And of course there's many crazy LSP intro's..(think: "Greetings, music lovers...") do you have any favorite?

There's often cool intro's on the 80's digital soundboy stuff too. Fuzzy Jones intro's in particular "Yuuuhhh likkle dibbi dibbi soundbway ah guh dead so...!!"

Check [Action Wood](http://www.roots-archives.com/release/3 ... ight=46190) by Prince Williams

tall t & the touchers - touching the president / splash -wicked tune as well:D

Found a sample of the Tall T tune - hehe, sounds great

keep them coming!

Scratch's are the best

"Sipreano" ("So you come back to mash up the place?") and "The Vampire" ("I say my patient needs another injection...") are two favorites.

Also, just about anything with Dave Barker.

"Hit me!"

Space Flight - Scratch and I Roy

"tighten your seat belt and extinguish all cigarettes..."

Bunny Lee has some great intros on a couple dub LPs, such as Sly and Robbie Master of Ceremony Dub. Also, Jah Thomas has quite a few on both LPs and 12's.

I must admit that Ordinary Version Chapter 3 from Impact Allstars is hilarious but I also like Khasha Macka from Lee Perry (Dub-Triptych).

I think the funniest intro to ANY song is Lee Perry squaking his name is Coconut at the beginning of Big Apple Coconut off Upsetter and the Beat. He's usually a little odd, on this song he outdid himself.
