I searched for this song long ago and finally found it on a CD compilation, "Old School Jams" at Best Buy (shudder). Had to pick it up tho. Tried to order it on vinyl from a number of "hard-to-find" record stores with no success and eventually satisfied myself with the CD. "Old School Jams" also features the original Patrice Rushen song, "Haven't You Heard", which became '99s anthem, "I Feel Good Things For You", and other older favorites. Tracklisting below. Sombody was having fun putting this one together.

The song goes: "If you wanne ride - don't ride the white horse, ride the white pony." The white pony is cocaine. Very 80's. Don't take heroin - use coke. The funny thing is that White Horse was almost a bigger hit in the US than it was back here in Denmark ! Laid Back are still livin' large on royalties and sample fees from White Horse and Sunshine Reggae. I think the first record to use the bassline from White Horse was 'The Fuck Shop' by 2 Live Crew back in '89. Since then, a million people have used it, including our very own DJ Godfather. - Rasmus __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
