The hit Netflix show, ‘Stranger Things’ returned for season 4 last Friday, and many viewers were greeted with a familiar song in episodes 4 and 6.
‘Pass the Dutchie’ was featured in episode 4’s intense shoot-out at the Byers household, with cannabis lover Argyle pulling up to the rescue in his pizza truck with the song playing. The song suited the scene well as the song title is based on a Mighty Diamonds song, Pass the Kouchie – a kouchie being slang for cannabis pipe.
‘Pass the Dutchie’ was released in 1982 by British-Jamaican reggae band, Musical Youth. They are best remembered for their 1982 single ‘Pass the Dutchie’, which was number 1 in multiple charts around the world.
Stranger Things is an American Science Fiction Horror Drama television series that follows a group of young friends who witness supernatural forces and secret government exploits.
