Anyone remember the singer Smiley Culture? His two hit songs were "Cockney Translator" and "Police Officer".
Anyway he's just died:
The musician, who had hits in the Eighties, is believed to have stabbed himself as police swooped on his home in Warlingham, Surrey.
The 47-year-old, real name David Emmanuel, was due in court after being charged with conspiracy to supply cocaine in September last year.
It is believed he died in the kitchen after police tried to resuscitate him.Very strange
Smiley Culture dies during police drugs raid on Surrey homeHere's a verse of Police Officer - in it he even mentions his previous hit:
Me never had no choice me draw out me gania
As me do that start rub them hands together
One say: "Shall we put him in the van or in the back of the Rover?"
Me say: You can't do that ca' me name Smiley Culture
"You what? Did you do that record Cockney Translator?"
In the reggae charts number one was it's number
"My kids love it and so does my mother!
Tell you what I'll do . A favour for a favour
