Musical Youth - Pass The Dutchie
Pass the Dutchie was a UK number one single for three weeks in September 1982 for Musical Youth.
It was a cover version of the song "Pass the Kouchie" by The Mighty Diamonds, written by Leroy Sibbles and Jackie Mittoo. The term "dutchie" (a cooking pot) allowed for a more radio-friendly song than "kouchie" (a slang term for marijuana).
The song was first championed by DJ John Peel and became an instant hit when it was picked up by MCA records in September 1982. It debuted at #26 on the chart and rose to #1 the following week, one of a handful of records to have risen to the top spot from outside the top 20. The following year it reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the USA, eventually selling over 4 million copies worldwide.

Joy Division was a rock band formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester. The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. The remaining members reformed as New Order and they have gone on to achieve much critical and commercial success.
