Ya Ho KSLP046 he and his ensemble dialYa Ho shows the best of The Viceroys, with the title track remaining their signature tune. Borrowing their lyrics from the old English ode about "16 men on a deadman's chest," the trio toast the buccaneers of yore with the obligatory "ya ho and a bottle of rum." Set to a sturdy reggae backing, the 1968 Studio One single was a massive hit, one of The Viceroys' biggest from that era.
