Sun of Jamaica

"Sun of Jamaica" is a song performed by German group Goombay Dance Band, written by Ekkehard Stein and Wolfgang Jass.

The song was released at the end of 1979, and subsequently included on their debut album, Sun of Jamaica.

The lyrics recount the narrator's desire to visit Jamaica after seeing Mutiny on the Bounty as a boy.

He explicitly mentions Marlon Brando in the lyrics, thus referring to the 1962 film version.

Goombay Dance Band have re-recorded the track a number of times later in their career.
