Thanks a bunch, this has been on my mind for a long time. Now it sounds very obvious and I feel stupid for not getting it.
Please, do you know anything about "what a liv a baba yay"

Isn't it "spread him bed in a sardine pan"? The Culture thing from Two Seven's Clash is probably just an exclamation of resigned shock similar to the Congos' "what a la la bam bam" or The Ethiopians' "rim bam bam".

"What a leaving bambayay" means we'll be eating leavings (leftovers) soon when the 2 sevens clash, "bambayay" meaning "by and by". Or something like that anyway.

When I first heard the song, I heard "I'm gonna leap out of the way when the Two Sevens Clash"...
As for the Byles song, I thought it was "spreading disease in a sardine pan". Until now. The correct lyrics are obvious when you see them written down...
