The thing I ADORE about Stranger Things is that it introduces newer generations like me to 80s hits like this one and it always manages to be the one song I listen to for months on end and never get bored of it
Lol, took me 3 years to talk my daughter into trying Stranger Things and now, of course, she’s obsessed. In early 2019 I played Running Up That Hill for her because some of the music she was listening to at the time kind of reminded me of it. Back then, she wasn’t feeling it, said it felt kind of “old” to her. But the minute it became Max’s song, she was hooked, plays it all the time. I love that. Mom for the win, lol. It just took the Duffer Bros to encourage it along.
@@thebookreader287 dude I’ve loved the 80s for a VERY long time. My dad had a DVD box set of Knight Rider and to this day I remember almost every episode. Got into Miami Vice as well and have dressed up into 80s inspired outfits when I go out. Plus I listen to the music almost every day! Yeah man the 80s are 100% back!
A little fun fact that I’m sharing as a Jamaican person: A “Dutchie” in Jamaican culture is slang for a Dutch pot, “pass the dutchie (Dutch pot) to the left hand side” is about sharing food with your fellow neighbor when times get tough
@@PyologyX “pass the Kutchie” was a completely different song made my a completely different band, named the mighty diamonds. Musical youth made and adaptation replacing kutchie with dutchie.
As a Jamaican person; this makes me so so happy seeing others enjoying it :)) for anyone who doesn’t know, dutchie is a dish in Jamaica, often shared with friends or family . this song represents sharing food with others out of kindness- which is what we want to spread in Jamaica 🇯🇲.
100%. I get ear worms quite easily, and they can go on for days at a time, to the point that I’ll go to sleep and instantly wake up with the same earworm from the day before; but “Pass the Dutchie” is one of the only earworms I don’t mind.
This what u call a timeless classic hope these kids now grown men get the money they were robbed of as kids. Music industry will still from they’re own mothers.
They made money from it. They only lost the copyright suit because the song is basically a copy of Pass the Kouchie. Same lyrics and everything. How they got away with it, idk. I think it's because no one wants to sue a kid.
You know that feeling when a song is stuck in your head for weeks and you don't remember the lyrics, but then you find the song? I'm living that feeling right now.
When this song hit NYC in 1982, I was 12 years old. It was my favorite song along with Junior's, MaMa used to say. I begged my Mother to buy me the record so I could listen to it whenever I wanted to. She took me to Sam Goody and bought me the '45 single. I miss those days. I miss the 80's!
Used to listen to this song when I was little, and Stranger things bought me back! I'm glad artists like Musical Youth and Kate Bush are getting the recognition they deserve now!
The fondest memory I have with this song is the school bus driver blasting this song full volume with all windows down while we’re cruising through the hood in a hot sunny summer day in San Diego. Class ended early and summer break was coming, it was such a vibe.
I was a teenager when this song came out. It's only now that I realize the amazing talent these kids had. I love revisiting songs and appreciating them in a whole new way. 🥰
I am reading "Exit stage left" where artists comment about what happened in their time and glory and when it finishes. Dennis Seaton talks about what happened with his band, how he studied musicology at 37 and, among others, how they found peace in later life. You will probably enjoy this book
the fact that Argyle was asked by an interviewer to step aside in a an interview of stranger things, hurts my soul so much. Argyle needs to know we loved him as much as we loved eddie in the show 🖤🫶🏻🌸
I have very distinct memories in my mind from when the song was popular and I was in middle school. The group got ripped off big-time thanks to shabby management. They deserve to profit from this renewed popularity in their song in some way. I’m hoping the Duffer Bros or Netflix will step up and do something for them. I love that it made the ST soundtrack, was always so much fun to listen to.
I kind of highlighted this theme in my other comment, talking about the black music industry back then. Kind of corrupt. They’re definitely getting a slice out of it now.
Yeah, its really sad. They received really bad legal advice from their solicitors back when the song released. Really hope they can profit in some way given its new resparked populairty.
Musical Youth are a British reggae band formed in 1979 in Birmingham, England. They are best remembered for their 1982 single "Pass the Dutchie", which was a number 1 in multiple charts around the world. Their other hits include "Youth of Today", "Never Gonna Give You Up", and a collaboration with Donna Summer, "Unconditional Love".

@@jayyvonkush1941dutchie is a Dutch oven which is a pot.. that’s how they got the BBC to allow their song on the air. KOUCHIE however is a pipe to smoke. If you knew patois you’d understand that.
@@okaykh-o5316 pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side. ' A "Dutchie" is a Jamaican cooking pot, and while there's not much reason to pass one around, it was an acceptable substitute for the original lyric: "Pass The Kutchie," Kutchie being Jamaican slang for a pot that holds marijuana. Yea they are just changing a letter so they seem like they aren't but no one can give a reason to pass a ducth oven around to the left hand side. Soooooooooooo they are singing about weed.... Dumbass
“Surfer Boy Pizza, this is Argyle speaking. We make everything fresh here at Surfer Boy, except for our pineapple which comes from a can, but I still recommend slapping some juicy pineapple on. Oh, fruit on your pizza is gnarly you say? Well I say try before you deny!” "Hello?"
I'm 63 years old on June,10,2024.Been singing this song since the 70's.I still get goosebumps whenever I hear it.That is everyday of my life so far.Enjoy everyone,Cool,very cool and catchy tune.
R.I.P. Fredrick Waite Jr. 1967- Aug 2022 the drummer with Musical Youth and also best known ablum "Different Style " in 1983. This amazing song lives on through you!
I was 6 years old when this was number one in 1982. I grew up listening to musical youth and I still have the 2 albums on vinyl. It was fun being an 80's kid and is definitely my favourite decade for music.
This is the type of song i would put while driving in the 80s in a pizza car while my friends are getting chased by the military and driving to go to a hospital for the "Unknown hero R.I.P Freddie Waite Junior R.I.P Frederick Waite Jr Dad im famous. Dad? ... Wait💀
The attention this song is getting now is great. However, I pride myself in knowing this song years pre stranger things. I was SHOOK hearing it on stranger things. I screamed “this is my song!”
@TTFPouyi a mature person would be glad the artists are getting the recognition and money they deserve, not mad about the exact source of the fame. Who cares if it’s stranger things that brought the popularity! Kate Bush is making 250 000 pounds a week 37 years after the release of her song. It’s amazing for her! Stop gatekeeping and grow up.
Todays new school kids don't know jack about this excellent jam. Us the old school experienced the early 80s. Thank I lived that old school era. Today's music sucks.
to those wondering why it was changed: The song was the band's first release on a major label. Following a shouted intro taken from U Roy's "Rule the Nation" with words slightly altered, the track combined two songs: "Gimme the Music" by U Brown, and "Pass the Kouchie" by Mighty Diamonds, which deals with the recreational use of cannabis (kouchie being slang for a cannabis pipe). For the cover version, the song's title was bowdlerised to "Pass the Dutchie", the new word being a patois term for a Dutch oven, a type of cooking pot. All obvious drug references were removed from the lyrics; e.g., instead of the original "How does it feel when you got no herb?", the cover version refers to "food" instead. The song was commissioned by the record company to turn "Pass the Kouchie" into a radio friendly hit for a wider audience. Tony Owens came up with the modified lyrics after coming home one night on an empty stomach.
I can see you dont listen to reggae.....Pass the Duchie was on the sam album as Autobahn, Buffalo soldier etc in the 80s. I think it was called Best of reggae..... it was a black cover but this was the songs original name...Pass the Duchie. Not pass the Kutchie like you said. Plus they dont call marujana duchie...they call it ganja
This song being on the radio since the 80's and it being released this year is significantly Unbelievable and being a Jamaican just makes my life much easier because this song is something else that i coudlt imagine.#JamaicanLove, #Jamaica🇯🇲

I am absolutely in love with this song! I live in Hawaii, and this song plays on the radio ALOT. And every-time it plays, it gives me just the chillest, greatest, most best vibes ever. This song reminds me of my childhood too. I just love it!

@@princessLeiaaaa Thank you! But the other guy who also commented is right. There is very expensive prices because of tourism, and most crimes are due to drug addiction, or homelessness. But thank you! As Hawai’i is beautiful, and chill! :)

And sing about smoking weed
@@jayyvonkush1941pass the Dutchie
@@jayyvonkush1941dutchie is a Dutch oven which is a pot.. that’s how they got the BBC to allow their song on the air. KOUCHIE however is a pipe to smoke. If you knew patois you’d understand that.
@@okaykh-o5316 pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side. ' A "Dutchie" is a Jamaican cooking pot, and while there's not much reason to pass one around, it was an acceptable substitute for the original lyric: "Pass The Kutchie," Kutchie being Jamaican slang for a pot that holds marijuana.
Yea they are just changing a letter so they seem like they aren't but no one can give a reason to pass a ducth oven around to the left hand side.
Soooooooooooo they are singing about weed....
Dumbass
Was in Italy 🇮🇹 with the wife and to my surprise at a club they played this WHAT.
“Surfer Boy Pizza, this is Argyle speaking. We make everything fresh here at Surfer Boy, except for our pineapple which comes from a can, but I still recommend slapping some juicy pineapple on. Oh, fruit on your pizza is gnarly you say? Well I say try before you deny!”
"Hello?"
“Help, there are military men chasing us! Pick us up in your pizza van with a dying guy!”
"DRIVEEEE!!!!!!!!"
I'm 63 years old on June,10,2024.Been singing this song since the 70's.I still get goosebumps whenever I hear it.That is everyday of my life so far.Enjoy everyone,Cool,very cool and catchy tune.
Hi belated birthday wishes to you❤
The song was released in 1982
Nobody cares
@@constanzaperezh.377Why so bitter?? You replied
How can you been singing this since the 70s when this song came out in the early? 🤨
Wow, it is an honor to be one of the first viewers of this upload of the music video.
Didn't even realize until you mentioned it
Ah yes but was you born when,this came out i got a feeling you was nt😊❤
I was referring to this upload.
Greetings from Costa Rica, I'm 20 years old, the 80s were the best in music
This is 40 years old but still bumps hard af
Once a banger ALWAYS a banger! Such a classic that brings back memories of being at school. Good times, superb track!
how old are you Dave! might've been good times👌👌
Oh damn you must be so old now pops!!!
As a Stranger Things Fan, finally... This music video is remastered.
Argyle tho right
@TTFPouyi you're soo salty in all the comments it's soo funny, get help bruv. Have a nice day
Legend has it musical youth are still waiting for the dutchie to be passed ❤️👍
R.I.P. Fredrick Waite Jr. 1967- Aug 2022 the drummer with Musical Youth and also best known ablum "Different Style " in 1983. This amazing song lives on through you!

Whoa! The drummer 🥁 died?
I was 6 years old when this was number one in 1982. I grew up listening to musical youth and I still have the 2 albums on vinyl. It was fun being an 80's kid and is definitely my favourite decade for music.
PASS THE DUTCHIE TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥💯💯‼️‼️
Yes 🗣️💯
How does it feel when you got no food 🔥👌👌🔥🔥
That’s not what it means

@seanyboy07 what does it mean?
They need to bring this back Jamaican music kids could actually listen to
except they are from the Uk....

The attention this song is getting now is great. However, I pride myself in knowing this song years pre stranger things. I was SHOOK hearing it on stranger things. I screamed “this is my song!”
It was filmed at the end of our road.
Same!!
This song has been on every stoner’s playlist since forever lol
@TTFPouyi a mature person would be glad the artists are getting the recognition and money they deserve, not mad about the exact source of the fame. Who cares if it’s stranger things that brought the popularity! Kate Bush is making 250 000 pounds a week 37 years after the release of her song. It’s amazing for her! Stop gatekeeping and grow up.
Same, I hadn’t heard it in years prior to ST. Brought a smile to my face.

I use to love this song as a kid and still do as an adult.
Timbaland version is fun for adults as well.
Me too and yesterday my 15 years old daughter, surprised me by singing it while we were shopping..then I began to sing it too😊
Me too 💜
@@feliciariley1827 nice 👍
I knew it from MTV, way back when it was good
Todays new school kids don't know jack about this excellent jam. Us the old school experienced the early 80s. Thank I lived that old school era. Today's music sucks.
Growing up in early 80's UK and these lads smashed it, what a breath of fresh air that still holds true, class tune 🥰

Give him a tip
Yo can I get the pineapple pizza
to those wondering why it was changed: The song was the band's first release on a major label. Following a shouted intro taken from U Roy's "Rule the Nation" with words slightly altered, the track combined two songs: "Gimme the Music" by U Brown, and "Pass the Kouchie" by Mighty Diamonds, which deals with the recreational use of cannabis (kouchie being slang for a cannabis pipe). For the cover version, the song's title was bowdlerised to "Pass the Dutchie", the new word being a patois term for a Dutch oven, a type of cooking pot. All obvious drug references were removed from the lyrics; e.g., instead of the original "How does it feel when you got no herb?", the cover version refers to "food" instead. The song was commissioned by the record company to turn "Pass the Kouchie" into a radio friendly hit for a wider audience. Tony Owens came up with the modified lyrics after coming home one night on an empty stomach.
Pass the duchie sounds like he talking about a dutch cigar lol
I can see you dont listen to reggae.....Pass the Duchie was on the sam album as Autobahn, Buffalo soldier etc in the 80s. I think it was called Best of reggae..... it was a black cover but this was the songs original name...Pass the Duchie. Not pass the Kutchie like you said. Plus they dont call marujana duchie...they call it ganja
@@michelsmit5294are u trolling coz u can google "pass the kouchie by mighty diamonds" and find the original song
Ooooh wow n here i though that dutchie meant a dutch masters blunt lol
😲👍😲
This song being on the radio since the 80's and it being released this year is significantly Unbelievable and being a Jamaican just makes my life much easier because this song is something else that i coudlt imagine.#JamaicanLove, #Jamaica🇯🇲
Here I am in 2024 reliving my youth, incredible memories 🖤

"Ghetto blaster" is wild😭
You mean boom box.

@BlueishSmurfCat Thats awesome!
This was groundbreaking for the time it came out. It gave us a glimpse into Black British identity and what it meant for them
This song is legendary
This song deserves more than a couple million. I would listen to this constantly while going to the beach with my dad that introduced me to reggae
you mate have a smart dad :)
Right on, my man. This track is unforgettable! 11 milli & counting...
Hahaha my dad left me
what a good music, I can't stop listening, thanks stranger things for having good taste in music
How kids today heard this song: Stranger Things
How I heard this song as a kid: Scooby-Doo
Love this song both then and NOW!
[Intro]
This generation
Rules the nation
With version
Music happen to be the food of love
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub
(scatting) I say
[Chorus]
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
It a go bun, give me the music, make me jump and prance
It a go dung, give me the music, make me rockin' at the dance
(Jah know!)
[Verse 1]
It was a cool and lonely breezy afternoon
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
You could feel it cause it was the month of June
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
[Chorus]
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
It a go bun, give me the music, make me jump and prance
It a go dung, give me the music, make me rockin' at the dance
(Jah know!)
[Verse 2]
So I stopped to find out what was going on
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
You could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
[Chorus]
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
It a go bun, give me the music, make me jump and prance
It a go dung, give me the music, make me rockin' at the dance
(Jah know!)
[Bridge 1]
Now me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist
Me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist, I say
[Chorus]
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
It a go bun, give me the music, make me jump and prance
It a go dung, give me the music, make me rockin' at the dance
(Jah know!)
[Bridge 2]
You play it on the radio
And so me say, we a go hear it on the stereo
And so me know you a go play it on the disco
And so me say, we a go hear it on the stereo
[Chorus]
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side
It a go bun, give me the music, make me jump and prance
It a go dung, give me the music, make me rockin' at the dance

[Outro]
I say east, say west, say north and south
This is gonna really make us jump and shout

Thanks for this but im confused, is the "make me rokin at the dance" actually supposed to be "Make me rock inna di dance"

Lol, I was 10 in 1982, never forgot this song! Remember Eddy Grant- electric avenue! Heard that the other day for the first time in over 30 years!
Yes yes
This song will never leave the 80's kid that is still in us! 😀👍
The thing I’ve always loved about this song is that it sounds new. Doesn’t have elements that age it at all.
Sick drop of this in Stranger Things.
That's debatable
This song gives me great memories.
Wow, I remember this song from the live action Scooby Doo movie from the early 2000's. No Regrets.
Muito boa essa musica e essa banda ! Abraços do Brasil.

I am absolutely in love with this song! I live in Hawaii, and this song plays on the radio ALOT. And every-time it plays, it gives me just the chillest, greatest, most best vibes ever. This song reminds me of my childhood too. I just love it!
WHAT?! you live in Hawaii??! That's so cool!
Definitely why it’s so nostalgic
@@princessLeiaaaaHawai’i isn’t that cool. A lot of crime and very expensive. I used to live there but I moved away a few years back. Still have some great memories with family and great stories from grandparents.
@@princessLeiaaaa Thank you! But the other guy who also commented is right. There is very expensive prices because of tourism, and most crimes are due to drug addiction, or homelessness. But thank you! As Hawai’i is beautiful, and chill! :)
@@GalaxyOceanYT true, but crimes are due to drug addiction or homelessness. And homelessness is a huge problem since tourists keep on coming over. But Hawai’i is kind of a paradise. Except a paradise I’ve been living in for my whole life 😂. But I respect any of your opinions :)
70s-80s reggae music is just ridiculously catchy
Very uplifting lovely song . The children are great ❤❤❤
I had this album on cassette when I was a kid. I used to rewind this track over and over again and strut around my room.
😂😂
I need to talk, the voice of this guy in the green shirt is SO amazing and makes me nostalgic
Unique song, especially with a young group. I remember listening to this when I was a kid. I’m 40 years old now and still rocking out to this track
They stole it from the Mighyt Diamonds, that's how unique it is.
@@lvr5266 It was modified to allow it on radios
i guess were getting old
I agree but I’m 50 yrs old 😄😄😄😄

isso quê música ✌
Who else is watching this is 2024?
This Is 2024, offcourse, mafren, i'm watchin, pass the Kouchie, pass the Douchie
Meee

This song is so amazing, absolute masterpiece of a song. It makes me so happy and takes me away from all the bad in this world. It just gives off positive vibes and is so catchy, These boys are very talented! 😄
I'm glad to see such a recent comment under this masterpiece, I often listen to it as well !
I was 10 years old when this song came out i'm now 50 it takes me back when times were simpler then they are now
oh wow i didn't know people still listen and comment to this song
This song is not underrated, it's just old.
bro wdym underrated it has 15M VIEWS
I knew Fred jr. Its very nice to see him happy here
The 80s were awesome. Almost anything catchy could make the Top 10.
You can’t go wrong with this song. ❤
For me, this song is on the select list of 'natural remedies for anxiety and bad days'
It also makes working 10x more enjoyable
"Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side" hits hard
Grew up hearing this song played here in NZ. Recognised it as soon as I heard it in Stranger Thing. It’s like they’re bringing back classics and reviving it for the next generation.
frrr this song makes me think of Boy
Bro this definitely reminds me of boy
They even played master of puppets by Metallica, that’s awesome
