The original source of this tribal rhythm was a recording of 25 drummers of the Ingoma tribe, Burundi. The recording was included in an album, Musique du Burundi, issued by the French Ocora label in 1968. During the early 70s, a British pop musician named *Mike Steiphenson grafted an arrangement for guitars and keyboards onto the original recording from Burundi, and the result was Burundi Black, an album that sold more than 125,000 copies and made the British best-seller charts. ~ Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/africabeyond/africaonyourstreet/cdreviews/
*Mike Steiphenson aka Michel Bernholc, was a French (not British) musician and arranger.
NOTE: (If Im not mistaken), this here is the A side of the original 7 release of the Steiphenson arrangement from 1971.
There was also a 12 Special Re-mix made, released in 1981.
However, there was not, to the best of my knowledge, a 10 Trench Foot Steppin Dub Mix released in 1917 ;-)
The visual is a loop of Hubble Approaches the Final Frontier: The Dawn of Galaxies. This zoom starts in the Fornax constellation and pushes through deeper and narrower telescopic fields to at last reach Hubbles Ultra Deep Field, where astronomers have identified 108 very distant galaxies. The zoom reveals the locations of the 108 galaxies, then it pushes farther into the field, showing a close up of three representative candidates.

♪♫ My chest is a 36, my overcoat is for a 42.
My trousers end 6 inches from the ground, 3 inches from my shoe,
Tied up with a piece of string and held together with fish-bone glue.
Call me an eccentric man, I dont believe I am
They call me an eccentric man, I dont believe I am.
My bed is a park bench and my sheet and blankets are newspaper pages.
The people think Im crazy, but I know Im wiser than all the sages,
cos I have money they think that Im a fool for doing what I do, but I know its right.
Call me an eccentric man, I dont believe I am
They call me an eccentric man, I dont believe I am.
If ever I want to I can have the comfort of my country home.
But until that time Im quite content to have walls made [out] of gravestone,
even a carpet of moss, a ceiling of sky and a brown rat for a watch-dog.
Call me an eccentric man, I dont believe I am
