Earlier this week The Swede featured King Tubby's great "Straight To The Copycat Head". Back in the mid 1970s there was a bit of craze for songs called "Straight To [Insert Name Here] Head" in reggae circles. It started off as a simple beef between Prince Jazzbo and I Roy, then I Roy took a pop at Derrick Morgan and after that all hell broke loose.
Here are the ones I've got. I expect there are more.
"Straight to I Roy's Head" - Prince Jazzbo
"Straight To Prince Jazzbo's Head" - I Roy
"Straight To Derrick Morgan's Head" - I Roy
"Straight To The Capitalist Head" - King Tubby & The Aggrovators
Fortunately U Roy and Big Youth stayed aloof from it all.
No video of the "Going Straight", the post-Porridge Ronnie Barker series?
