Apparently 2005 is going to be Bassey Walker, a.k.a. Walkerman's year. The young reggae star in the making's unique yet generic style fits in perfectly with the UK's summer vibe. It remains to be seen whether or not the sunshine will hold out, but even when it inevitably starts chucking down with rain again, Hey Fattie will still put a smile on your face.
Hey Fattie is an ode to the more voluptuous woman and is essentially a reworking of Carl Malcolm's Hey Fatty Boom Boom, which was in itself hilarious. The reggae beat is entirely unthreatening despite Bounty Killer's best efforts to add a little bit of menace to the track. This makes for a more interesting song with a moodier feel than Walkerman's soft vocals could create.
It really is all a lot of fun, and more seriously a message that skinny girls just really aren't all that attractive. Purely for comedy value blast this track as loud as you can - then put on Lady Saw's What A Bum Bum and try not to be smiling all day.
