I know I already did this feature this month but I wanted to get this one out while it was thinking of it and next month I’ll most likely be examining a Christmas song since next month is December. In 1982 the British band Musical Youth, a Reggae band formed in 1979 made up of a group of kids descended from Jamaican immigrants, released the song “Pass The Dutchie“. The song later became a hit in the US but they turned out to be a one-hit wonder in the colonies. At the very least I don’t remember any other songs from them.
Over the years the song has taken on a different meaning. While the surviving members of the band (at least one actually did pass away) continue to maintain that the song is about hunger (“dutchie” is Jamaican for a cooking pot) was actually about drugs. In fact so many US and UK listeners already thought dutchie was slag for drugs that it now is a slag term for drugs according to Wikipedia. However, when you actually pay attention to the song, it’s about food, or possibly music with food as an analog considering the opening dialog. So it’s not about drugs but food, right? Mostly, yes.

A documentary is used to showcase someone’s life or in the days before the internet life in other parts of the world besides your own. It can also be used to make a case for or against a cause. The problem comes with the documentary exaggerates or outright lies in order to prove their “facts”, which people fall for and things go horribly wrong. In this video from Cracked.com, we look at eight documentaries that altered the facts to make their case, or doesn’t really stand up to actual common sense. Like the first one. Oddly, none of Michael Moore’s works make this list.
