I love finding out a song by a famous artist wasn’t original to them. Especially when that famous artist is also a famous asshole.

    I could equally see him changing it because he’s an English racist twat and those filthy colonials use very poor grammar.

    Really, as a whole, his version of the song sounds like “I’m going to correct every bit of English in that awful Jamaican patois the original is sung in and make it sound super white too.”

    I think you can tell that I am not a fan of Eric Clapton.

      Well you know what they say. What’s the difference between a baby and a bag of coke? Clapton would never drop a bag of coke out a window
