♪♫ This is a strange town, people here round don't have no fun.
I've been here two years, I've been lookin' round but I ain't found none.
It seems that all they care about is pointin' people out,
saying stupid things like, "get the lice out your hair".
I don't believe these people, spend all their time walkin' round lookin' so glum.
They think that life is for workin' to secure their pension when retirement come.
Ah, but they don't realise, it's right before their eyes, life is for livin', right now before you die. ♪♫

![Burundi Black (Part 1) - Burundi Steiphenson Black [7 1971 issue]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/N8ba0gwBmUU/mqdefault.jpg "Burundi Black (Part 1) - Burundi Steiphenson Black [7 1971 issue]
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.
