1. Double Barrel

   Double Barrel is a 1970 reggae single by Dave and Ansell Collins (though credited in both the UK and the U. S. to 'Dave and Ansil Collins'). It was the second reggae tune to top the charts in the UK, two years after Desmond Dekker's number 1 ska breakthrough hit "Israelites". The record reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart for the first two weeks in May 1971. In the U. S., "Double Barrel" peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 7 August 1971 and number 4 on WLS on 28 June 1971, two years to the week after "Israelites" made a nearly identical climb to peak at the same position on the same chart. It also reached #1 in Mexico on October 23, 1971. Written and produced by Winston Riley, former vocalist of The Techniques, the single featured the vocals of Dave Barker, who had been recording in Jamaica for around five years, principally for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd and Lee Perry. From the very beginning of the cold intro, the lyrics are punctuated throughout by the unusual claim "I am the magnificent W-O-O-O" (and variants thereof), but the title never appears. The song has been covered by later ska acts such as The Selecter and The Specials. In 1972, a sample of the song was included in the top ten hit "Convention '72" by The Delegates. It was sampled in 2012 GOOD Music song "The One".

1. Double Barrel

   "Double Barrel" is a popular reggae single by Dave and Ansell Collins, peppered with the repeated declaration "I am the magnificent W-O-O-O !" Written and produced by Ansell Collins, and featuring the vocals of Dave Barker, who had been recording in Jamaica for around five years, principally for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd and Lee Perry, it was released in 1971 by executive producer, Winston Riley, former vocalist of The Techniques. It became one of the early breakthrough reggae hits internationally. The single reached #1 on the UK singles chart for the first two weeks in May 1971 and reached the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #22. In a number of ways, "Double Barrel" was like revisiting Desmond Dekker's "Israelites" from two years earlier. Both are reggae hits from Jamaica. Both are in B-flat major. Both have lyrics difficult for English language listeners to comprehend. Both reached #1 on the UK singles chart in mid spring. Both reached #4 on WLS on the last chart in June. The song has been covered by later Ska acts such as The Selecter and The Specials.

   Let me say something to every political hack pretending to know an AR-15 from a double-barrel shot gun, in the wake of the Orlando attack, for the vast major of people I work with, there is nothing better to defend their homes against realistic threats than with an AR-15 semi-automatic.
