Malcolm Mclaren - "Double Dutch"

Malcolm Mclaren was the man who gave us the Sex Pistols and we thank him for changing the world. He was always on the lookout for new and exciting developments in music and popular culture. In 1983 he found something. With "Double Dutch" he introduced us to the skipping game that was popularised in New York at the time. The interesting thing about the song is that the roots of the Double Dutch rope jumping game are, without doubt, New York but the music sounds nothing other than South African.
