Peter Tosh Ketchy Shuby Comments
1989 is when I first heard this song. At the same time, it was the first time a 10 year old kid smoked herbal medicine. Thank You Peter Tosh (R.I.P.). 2019, still at it.
Come make we play some ketchy shuby
And when me shuby, you feel ketchy
And when you ketchy, don't make it drop
'Cause if it drop, it will pop
And if it pop, no one can mend it
'Cause if they mend it, you can easily bend it
So we all go ketchy-ketchy, shuby-shuby tonight

A wonderful masterpiece , under the lead vocals of peter tosh...as he puts it ,"if they mend it, you can easily bend it". True, it don't take too long to learn. All reggae lovers out a Kenya... much love
Peter Tosh is a reggae genius, because the man was just so phenomenal and his reggae classics such as African, Get up , stand up, stand up for your rights and Equal Rights. Tosh, Burning Spear and Jimmy Cliff are the kings of reggae and even although he's the Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Emmanuel Brown is the best too
Smoking listening sexing
Each one teach one!
Cause if it drop it , it will pop
You know all this time I never even knew what that word meant in this song kutchy shuby but I always liked it it always stands out gets me in a good mood but now when you come to think about it actually sounds like a sex song especially when tonight you know what I'm probably just going to say that to my girl when I get in bed with her
Come make we play some ketchy shuby
And when me shuby, you feel ketchy
And when you ketchy, don't make it drop
'Cause if it drop, it will pop
And if it pop, no one can mend it
'Cause if they mend it, you can easily bend it
So we all go ketchy-ketchy, shuby-shuby tonight

After so much ketchy-shuby outside the marriage, heaven for Tosh is not so certain... :D
REST IN ETERNAL PEACE 4EVER MY BROTHER!!!!!!
the song is not a lesson in rocket science. she's a young inexperienced dawta he's been "waiting " on, therefore they'll be playing the game of ketchy shuby, but it has to be done in secret. her father is not to find out. I hope this explanation helps.
That's right....
Me likey
mr tosh ........i respectfully salute you rebel prince or reggae!!!!!!
Rebel King of Reggae
A true Revolutionist/Rebel/Freedom fighter. #LongLiveDaBushDoctor 👍👍.
one of the greatest
I like this song but the intro is the best part. I wish the song went more towards that sound. Could've been bad ass
Brad Lifsey still a badass song
Intro was more like, Say im not gonna give it give it up, Im not gonn'..
I don't know what it means for sure sounds like sex tonight and or smoking! but back in the mid 90's this album was on the jukebox in this little beer an burger bar in Vancouver, Canada called the Cambie Hotel, and I played it all the time, it is a great song
its sex..
comeback with pleasure
love you!!
this track is mind blowing great classic i love it
big spliff beffor sleaping zion bless this night
smoking and listenin
jocelyn maryorie luengo mardondes same
Time for a macka splaff
Laughing at what I see here. My husband was Jamaican and Ketchy Shuby is . . .ready for this. . .hacky sack.
It is also a euphemism for sex!
ketchy means passed on the words
ketchy shuby means each one teach one
no it mean having sex, take it from a Jamaican
Any body know who sings Ketchy Shuby It was a faster song I heard it back in the 80's,
each one teach one
meaning passed the words on
@Tanya Morris how did you arrive at that definitoin.?
Great song..memories
There is no doubt what Mr Tosh is singing about. Ketchy Shuby is sex
H-Town Finest that makes perfect sense I think your right
@***** Don`t make me laugh
The Mad Mexicano Stoner 420 He is talking about weed not sex.
grape roberts i never said anything about sex o great smart fuck
The Mad Mexicano Stoner 420 ptosh was a poet..his words are deeper than average
trop cool
it's not about sex nor a cricket variant. it's what you say to a baby instead of "ketchup and sugar." he's about to give his year-old son a traditional rastafarian breakfast.
That is correct. In the Patois from Portuguese and Brazil, "Cathooshubay" means "Ketchup."
A traditional breakfast "tonight" doubtful
I have listen this song to Las Vegas for the first time
I'm French and I love this song :D
This music from Trenchtown Jamaica, is brilliant. Love the bass .... original funky think it's Aston Family Man Barrett on the studio tracks
I'm performing a whole set of P. Tosh on Oct. 18 with my band Milele Roots ... High times!!!
One love!!!
In Jamaica and In the west indies in general we use what's called a 'double-entendre'. In Haiti, Trinidad ("Trinibad" as Peter used to say) and Jamaica everyday happenings or habits can have two sometimes more meanings. And Lyrically this happens a lot in music... a great song can have many meanings: e.g - "I Shot the Sheriff" - Bob Marley. Yes, I can most def ... hear the sexual meanings... ha ha
I think Legalize it is... it's like designed for that man.
I knew it was about a ball game.
more fire
I used to think it was about sex, this was back in 1992 when I was only 16.....
Real sensual,and will people who are not really sexy in bed.
j'adore tout simplement...!!!
Next to Bob, he is one of the greatest reggae stars/artist in my opinion!!!
SexyCindyVI I always felt bad for Peter because he was always constantly compared to Bob every step of his solo career, he always wanted his just due and when he finally acquired his acceptance by the industry and earned himself a Grammy, he wasn't able to pick up his award because that evil man who killed him. People wanted to stereotype Peter as a more radical artist but he has a good amount of mellow tracks like this one. This album ilin particular is a favourite of mines. RIP to the great Peter Tosh.
loooooooooool. I just have to agree with you bro.
puryos!
Yes, upload it!

yeah, it's just that they are playing "tonight" and "all night long"...
and im sure they play at night? between man and women? i will think what i want thank you!
Yo it's not hard thing to have it ;]...
Then why has several people asked about it?
/watch?v=o0rvFSAKhuQ There is a download link in the description.
yes, please upload
I got a instrumental version of this... If anyone is interested, I can upload it.
THOUSANDS of peoples seafood dinners got cooked while this song jammed in the kitchen .
...and we were all better for it too. Just remember that at your next fancy seafood restaurant.
The crew cooking yer food might be high on Marley and Tosh!!
clamdraggin
pititoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The version is the original with no vocals I should add. Try it whenever you want to feel in a better mood. It works. After a few tries you'll be imagining yourself to be just like Petah Tosh when you sing! Amen. : )
Totally "Ketchy Song" that's for sure. If anybody likes to get high and try Karaoke, there is an instrumental version on youtube somewhere. I played it all day once a couple of summers ago! A Ketchy song man....(: Peace all!
@orangekush3 Like "Stick Ball" that lots and lots of New York Kids used to play and "Some?" still do I hope!! But if you had a reggae song called "Stick Ball" I'm sure if it was written by Peter Tosh, people would sexualize it or just read too much into it! I always thought it was a game. This Ketchy Shuby thing. Glad you clarified that man! It reminds me of ice hockey when you play outdoors on a frozen pond in Canada it's called, "Shinny"!!! ( :
I love this song too, I wish that I see him in concert.
@orangekush3
I don't know man...
"All night long we a go ketchy-ketchy, shuby-shuby tonight"
It really sounds like the song is about sex to me...
@orangekush3 Playing cricket all night long huh???.....Really
Uuiuuuuyu
I dunno about the smoking part; I just like the music.
That's totally cool too. Love what you want and want what you love
@Atrumlux i agree this is a great sex song tosh is the man
This never gets old, ever!
I once introduced this song to a woman here in Taiwan. She liked it, and she also loved the ketchy shuby we did later that night! heee heeeeey Wooooooooooy!
Hahaha until it pop
@tangimama11 You should try having sex to it. Lotta good Tosh and Marley leads to plenty of possibilities.
Thanks for the post. But this song's copyright is 1976, not 1979, just for the record....
this is the best song in the world...lets sing....
Grande Peter Tosh! RASTAFARAAAAIII
