It will get stuck in your head-this is a warning

Dreadlock Holiday

"Dreadlock Holiday" is a reggae song by 10cc. It was written by Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman and was the lead single from the band's 1978 album, Bloody Tourists Lead vocals were performed by Graham Gouldman.

The lyrics relate the experiences of a white man lost in Jamaica. His first encounter with the locals is of being confronted in the street by an unpleasant dreadlocked man who wants the white man's silver necklace. The next encounter is when he is beside the pool of his hotel sipping a pina colada; a dark-voiced woman offers him drugs. These experiences were based on real events that happened to Moody Blues vocalist Justin Hayward and Eric Stewart in Jamaica.

The reference to cricket in the first chorus, reggae in the second, and Jamaica in the third, reflects the victim trying to avoid conflict by convincing the antagonist that they share common interests.

It became the group's third and final number one hit in the UK Singles Chart, and final top 10 hit, spending a single week at the top in September 1978

I think its only fair I put a 10cc song in somewhere

There is a great story throughout it and it has a great rhythm

I would strongly recommend it even if you're not fond of Reggae music
