Rivers of Babylon

Sublime - Rivers of Babylon

This song, written by The Melodians, tells the story of the Rastafari who, like the Jews in the Bible, live in exile. In 1978 it became a huge hit for the German disco group Boney M (almost 2 million records sold). I prefer the version of Sublime, the band of singer Bradley Nowell.
