Talk:Sly and Robbie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Superthruster?
Could some Sly and Robbie expert write up something about their music video Superthruster? I had hoped I could find some information here about who animated it, directed it, etc.

[edit] 200,000 Songs?
Despite the attestation of the source, it is simply not credible that they've played on 200,000 recordings. Over the 30 years of their collaboration, that would be more than 18 songs per day, every day of every year. No chance. Tom Duff 22:49, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Actually, the way that reggae music works is by riddims (rhythms), which means that more than one song can be on the same riddim. So basically Tom Duff, you can take each riddim that Sly & Robbie made and mulitply it by an average of about 10 songs per riddim. Blackjays 00:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
So fix the article to say that! Otherwise anyone that can do a little mental arithmetic is going to think the article is nonsense. Tom Duff 22:02, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
