"Solomon Gundie" is a song by Jamaican ska singer Eric "Monty" Morris released in 1964 by Black Swan Records.[1] It was produced by Leslie Kong[2] with lyrics based on the nursery rhyme "Solomon Grundy". The song was later recorded by a number of artists, most notably by French singer Amanda Lear. Her version was released as a single by Ariola Records in 1980 and was a minor chart hit in Germany. Australian band Allniters released a cover of the song on their 1999 album Another Fine Mess.[3]
In the music video, Amanda Lear performs the song in and around an amusement park, riding a carousel and dancing surrounded by onlookers. The clip begins with Lear writing "solomon gundy" with spray paint on a wall and ends with her performing the last verse of the song in front of a sex shop.
