What’s great is that the melody laid down by Pliers is not simple it takes a few listen to get your head around.

It would dominate the summer of ’93 (staying in the top 10 for 3 months) and the British love affair with authentic Jamaican music was reignited. You’d hear it on passing car stereos, on ghetto blasters down the lido, at the barbers even. And through TOTP, the UK chart rundown and Kiss FM this sweet melody and skanking riddim entered into our heads through our ears like a little rasta worm. He stunk of gin’n’ hooch.Īnd then, over the next few weeks, the song slowly entered my consciousness. In fact looking back I think he was still shanted. I didn’t have a f*cking clue what he was on about. “Floating like a butterfly” he warbled, “you must have heard it? – she give me one smile, two smile, three smile!” It was a big hit in the guildford denizen of the 90s that was Harpers nightclub, and John and his pals had enjoyed getting their bogle on to it the night before. My big brother JohnJohn first informed me of Tease Me, singing the melody to me early one summer morning on the market stall we worked on. On the horizon are a lot of perfect pop songs, so I’ll be cashing in a few 10s on some pure Negganthems. We are now entering the imperial phase of Neggae.
#CHAKA DEMUS PLIERS TEASE ME RAR FULL#
Score: A perfect neggae anthem and the first time in the hot 90 I’m going to give something full marks. I can find very little fault in this song, my only surprise is that it wasn’t our 4th neggae number 1.
#CHAKA DEMUS PLIERS TEASE ME RAR ARCHIVE#
The video is pure neggae, the boys cruising round the island with loads of ladies keen to display their dancing abilities to the appreciative pair (although some of them do remind me of this.) When combined with some nice archive shots of the area and local populace it makes a thoroughly pleasing neggae spectacle. Chaka Demus does bang on about having blue balls for quite a few of his lines, but it’s done playfully and he might have going through a drought at the time, it happened to a lot of us in ’93. Yeah, I’m talking about you Jonny (Gill not Atkins), Shabba and all the other rapey oddballs. Lyrically it’s a basic love song, however the poetic language incorporated by Pliers, ‘ She’s floating like a butterfly, so charming’, invokes memories of Wordsworth, a sharp contrast to the usual Neggae declarations of romance which are usually of the ‘ I love her so much I’m going to f*ck her until she cries and then has to shower for 3 weeks’ variety. Around the 2m 30 mark a pan pipe sounds and marks the invention of Big Beat 98% of Big Beat releases were based on this drum break looped and sped up. The Ska intro is then bought back in and there’s even a cat on backing vocals punctuating the end of each verse, who went on to be a success in his own right. More than one as well, so take note Shabba Ranks.

Then the rest of Sly and Robbie’s production kicks in, a mounting build up of tabla and bass with the soulful vocals of Pliers over the top and Chaka adding in various ad-libbed shouts.

‘Tease me’ was their first UK release and straight from the off these boys make it known they’re not messing about with a ska hook intro so catchy it could land a thousand salt fish. One day as he was passing Robert Dyas he noticed they had a sidekick sale on, he went in, purchased Pliers and the rest is history (Sorry, no more terrible hardware jokes, I promise). Chaka Demus was a moderately successful solo artist, who had respect from his peers but his record sales didn’t reflect this. Folk had Simon and Garfunkel, Soul had Sam and Dave, Hip Hop Eric B and Rakim and pop Glenn and Chris. However, the most vital duo in musical history are Neggae’s Chaka Demus and Pliers.
