Desmond Dekker & The Aces - It Mek (Official Audio)

Official audio for Desmond Dekker & The Aces' 1969 smash 'It Miek' aka 'It Mek'

A follow-up to the UK Number One, 'Israelites', 'It Miek' first saw issue as 'A It Mek’, a Dekker-penned original song that had been inspired by the antics of a rowdy younger sister.

The original version, produced by legendary Beverley's Records boss, Leslie Kong, was deemed by the BBC to be ‘too raw’ for radio play, so was remixed by noted sound engineer, Graeme Goodall, who also overdubbed horns, giving the track a polished feel.

The result was another significant UK hit for Desmond and the Aces, with the single breaching the pop listings in June before peaking at Number 7 on 22 July 1969.

IT MIEK LYRICS
Written by Desmond Dacres & Leslie Kong

You think I never see you when you jump over the wall
You think I never see you when you accidentally fall
Me said, ah it mek, make you pop your bitter gall
Ah it mek, while you accidently fall
Ah it mek, hear she crying for ice water
Ah, ah, ah

Hey hey
I check you out and you're cool, girl
I dig you out and you're cool, girl
Rock it to me children

I told you once and I told you twice
Sweet nanny goat a go run him belly good
Me said, ah it mek, make you pop your bitter gall
Ah it mek, while you accidently fall
Ah it mek, hear she crying for ice water
Ah, ah, ah
