11. Expensive Shit
from the http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/world/reviews/kuti_expensive.shtml

"Expensive Shit" tells the tale of when the Nigeria police accused him of smuggling. They made him excrete to check if there was anything in it (there wasn't). It's sarcastic, hilarious and righteously angry.

Real Audio :

10. Quite frankly,
I don't think Mrs. B would let me use the car for a cross-state rendezvous with another woman. :P

8. Fela Kuti
Fela was the one who sang Expensive Shit?
Wasnt' he supposed to have killed a lion with his bare hands? Or am I confusing him with Manute Bol?

Have fun, if he's anything like his dad's live show recordings I've heard it will be a blast.
