RIP DAD, it’s only been 2 days but I need to get all these song off my chest. I’m only 29 I shouldn’t know what this is! RIP DAD, RIP SMILEY CULTURE. My dad made me a fan early. :)
Poor fella was murdered by the old bill as well, absolutely disgusting what they robbed from us. The way he combines cockney with patois sounds so authentically pure and magical, cannae help but move me body round the kitchen when I hear him. One love ❤️.
My uncle who sadly died at 50 loved this when i was about 5 he was in 20s . Smoking weed to it . I forgot about it until i came across it again and told my uncle he laughed his head off . So as we was very close we played this at his wake and the stuck up part of the family faces were a picture🤣🤣 serious. Then we went to his favourite pub and madly this was on the juke box so we kept playing it over . Their faces at....good thing i hide my ganga . True story .
What a night that was it was the reggae awards , Freddie m’gregor and so many ,David rodigon as he would be there best , to this day my daddy still thought we were helping the nuns , love reggae brought up with it and my children and grandchildren to , and our Irish songs too 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇯🇲🇯🇲
Just found this tune the other day searching through my mums record collection. Ran it too many times, too relatable all these years later…RIP 😁 Culture ‘POLICE OFFICER NA GIVE ME PRODUCER’ 😂 Legend
R.I.P. Smiley, three years and two months, next week, you've been gone. Your needless death will never be forgotten and we will fight always for at least answers from the police about your death. If the police think this is over, they are completely wrong! Justice for Smiley!
Had this tune pop in my head tonight just randomly for no reason, and was chuffed to see it on RUclips. Didn't know he died in 2011 😪 Was curious to see what he looked like these days as well. Thanks for the upload! ~ Jay Vee, November 2023.
I saw this man, my brother in spirit, at Gloucester music festival, on the Friday night with the fireworks in Gloucester park. I will never forget that night. Thanks Smiley for my smile and a good memory.R.I.P. and save me a place at the bar dread😁
A police officer asked me if he could make a phone call on my mobile to phone a friend, feeling generous I said make 2 phone calls and phone all your friends, what a good citizen I am!
This is a great song. I love it. Even though I was born in 1992, there are a lot of songs from the 80's that I like and this is definitely in the top 3 for me.
Here in 2021, Jamaican lady on my estate used to blast smiley out in the hot summer holidays and I used to proper vibe. Well as much as a ten year old white boy could
Saw him live in the forum in Kentish Town , it was a reggae night all the best singers at the time and the general , it was 86 , 87 , me and my sister told our father we were helping the nuns in lady margeret road church, we saw him out side after the concert and he chatted my sister up and wanted her to go to south London, I intervened cos my daddy eoyld of kilt us
This, Barrington Levy and Joseph Cotton were what I heard in the 80’s at college in South London. Funny how I know all the words and not heard in decades lol.
I know this video so well, but I never knew the edit was from the only copy. Think I must of been watching a previous upload on RUclips, without insights from the one of the creators! Only adds to how much I love this video (and the tune, of course). Big up Giblets and Smiley! EDIT: And now I'm looking at your called robmacgillivray - I never knew the team behind the Police Office video were behind so many ace videos. Love your work!
I actually forgot about this song until i quoted it to my mate in a WhatsApp, ran to RUclips to find it. I first met him in the mid 80s in a shebeen in Brixton My ex went to school with him and they remained mates till he died, i thought he was a nice bloke. RIP D
Thank you so much for uploading this ! I saw it for the first time on Sky Trax a long long time ago. This is the first time i see it back in it`s complete form ; the other version available here stopped at 3.04 A tribute to a great artist !!

Was he really killed by old bill and what happened
And Ranking Roger too.
@@jazzmonkey3106 is that true?
They should release this today its still fantastic to hear and so appropriate for today
If you were in the habit of driving with no insurance, MOT etc in the 80s this was your song.
FR😂
Still mad at this sound from my youth to today. Big up Smiley RIP your vibes are alive Bro 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My uncle who sadly died at 50 loved this when i was about 5 he was in 20s .

Shit. Sad. I'm 49
Cool story we all have one like this to this song lol
Such a cool story! Xx
Wicked 🤣

My 1st 12' from Our Price 1984, was 11, nice.
How mych did you pay
Great memories ❤
@@sisterbob5169 back then would've been 50p for 7" single
£1-£1.50 12inch
Actually, can't properly remember
Class tune - great artists RIP
Can't believe he's been gone over a decade. This was in the charts when I was born, 1st February 1985. It's great
One of the greatest songs EVER. Reminds me of my youth, this record was so hard to find in America.
+Davito Brigante
Killers.
Ive still got my vinyl :)
Love the way he moves seamlessly from patois to cockney. Sad to learn he passed away. Sad too to learn that he isn't on Spotify
Smiley gets barley any representation in Reggae.rly sucks he had so much talent
@@blake8816 drug dealer who killed himself.??? That's why.
That's demonised over these ends in the last 10years or so! English or broken English of various forms tbh.
P.E.A.C.E
I found some in Spotify
Look again
R.I.P. Smiley, three years and two months, next week, you've been gone. Your needless death will never be forgotten and we will fight always for at least answers from the police about your death. If the police think this is over, they are completely wrong! Justice for Smiley!
Don't be a rass all your life; have a day off.
Big up! Murder by police officer!
Peter Scholefield still fail to believe a man as lively as him would stab himself.
never explained
He did it to himself. Stop blaming anyone else?

Been searching for this tune for long time.....thnx
*A formative moment of my youth - nice one, everyone involved!!*
11 years, in the blink of an eye!
R.I.P Smiley Culture.
Still blasting out this massive riddim in 2024. ❤❤❤ Rest In Piece you absolute legend. ❤❤❤
RIP Smiley¡!!!!!!!!!. This song is hilarious
Got a lot of airplay on Radio 1 at the time, I remember. None of the bosses at the BBC knew what ganja was, those that did kept it quiet and laughed!
Apparently the BBC didnt know what paedophiles were either.....
this is and always be a great man that spoke the truth..... jah bless
🖤🖤🖤🖤🙏🏿RIEP smiley 🖤🖤🖤🖤
73 disliked this, BLOODY great tune 🤣, R I P Smiley Culture🙏😪🥺 Let Justice Prevail for this Great Reggae Singer, So Tragic
6 dislikes from 6 humorless, soulless traffic officers.
85 while I'm watching, still a classic... spot on... they didn't understand any laws then , just beat you up...
@@petem7118 Bloody shame... you out this weekend brother?
A police officer asked me if he could make a phone call on my mobile to phone a friend, feeling generous I said make 2 phone calls and phone all your friends, what a good citizen I am!
They might have been from Karen the filths wifeys
fucking brilliant rip smiley .
RIP Smiley Culture - such a tragedy and so many unanswered questions...
A good pal of mine told me the story of this song. Gave it a listen and I love it.
This is a great song. I love it. Even though I was born in 1992, there are a lot of songs from the 80's that I like and this is definitely in the top 3 for me.
Smiley man we need you back.
we sure do but my dad has the LP so he'll always be with us.
Absolutely beautiful man and performer. The police treated him dreadfully. They didn't deserve his happy song 😊
Love this - was a massive hit back in the day
Lots of really good memories from the 80's the innocence has gone things were a lot simpler then
One word ‘tune’ it’s that simple!
2019 ... LOVE THIS TUNE ...
RIP MASSIVE LOVE
still so sad this great man was murdered
We all love you so much, tooting boys will never stop loving you God bless you bruv, FROM DAVID AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY.
Fly high Smiley Culture and bless the most high with your lyrical genius 💞🙏🏼🤍☄️🕊️
Just found my 7" vinyl of this, so needed to come listen as I don't have a turntable :D
I literally forgot this song from my childhood but soon as I heard it on TikTok I remembered it. great song
Here in 2021, Jamaican lady on my estate used to blast smiley out in the hot summer holidays and I used to proper vibe. Well as much as a ten year old white boy could
RIP, cant replace a man like him. God Bless him.

Always puts a smile on my face, loved it on top of the pops, classic! Can't get it on Prime, what?
The fact that this song was about hiding his Ganja 😂😂 from the police. This charted too. Classic. Gone to soon Mr Culture
