Bob Marley had some serious issues with pasta products containing inferior meats. A lot of his songs were about this subject.
Songs such as ‘Could this be Dove?’, ‘Get Ham, Stand Ham’ and ‘No Chicken, No Pie’. Possibly his most famous song about nefarious companies replacing meat sources with inferior alternatives is ‘Buffalo Shoulder’, a song about finding his Grandad’s frozen lasagne full of buffalo meat and not beef.
Buffalo shoulder, tainted pasta
There was some buffalo shoulder in my grandad’s lasagne
Wrong kind of cow it is, dropped in lasagne
Look at the fatty bits, look at the scabby bits
I mean it, when I poke those pasta sheets
To me it became obvious
How the tainted pasta was some buffalo shoulder
And it’s the wrong kind of cow it is, dropped in lasagne
Look at the gristly bits, look at the stringy bits
Said it was some buffalo shoulder, tainted pasta
Buffalo shoulder, in my grandad’s lasagne
If you’ve seen his dodgy knee
Then you would know that beef is good for him
Then you would agree with me
You may as well fill it with Spam
There’s just some buffalo shoulder, in my grandad’s lasagne
Wrong kind of cow it is, dropped in lasagne
Said he did look at the greasy bits, look at the chewy bits
Said there was some buffalo shoulder, in my grandad’s lasagne
Said he, give me soy, give me some soy
Give me soy you stinky, wee boy
Give me soy, give me some soy
Give me soy you stinky, wee boy
Buffalo shoulder don’t go with parmesan, wo-ho-ooh!
Said he want my gran and then you give him Spam
Don’t go with parmesan, yea-hea, yea-ea
Said there was some buffalo shoulder in my grandad’s lasagne
Buffalo shoulder, tainted pasta
Look at the yellow bits, look at the knobbly bits
Bought it from Iceland from the heart of the freezer section
Said he, give me soy, give me some soy
Give me soy you stinky, wee boy
Give me soy, give me some soy
Give me soy you stinky, wee boy
Tofu would be fun
In the bowl of lasagne
Tainting all his pasta, some buffalo shoulder
Look at the slimy bits, look at the rancid bits
Buffalo shoulder, tainted pasta
Give me soy, give me some soy
Give me soy you stinky, wee boy
