Born in Kent, Judge Dread was the first White British recording artist to get a reggae hit in Jamaica. He got his stage name from a Prince Buster song, and his first hits were inspired by Prince Buster's single, "Big Five".
The Guinness Book of World Records credits Judge Dread for having the most banned songs of all time. Many of his lyrics have sexual connotations, with one song "Big Five" using rhyme to suggest lewd words while not actually saying them. A series of songs with "Big" followed by a number were some of his most notable hits — all of them featuring sexual and humorous lyrics. It is unlikely that you will ever hear his music on mainstream radio because of the nature of his lyrics.
Judge Dread died on stage in The Penny Theatre, Canterbury. At first, his collapse was thought to be part of his humorous and lively stage act, but it was quickly discovered that he was really dead.
In the 1970s, tabloid newspapers expressed concerns that young fans of the comic character Judge Dredd might buy Judge Dread's records by mistake, and hear things that may corrupt their minds.
Dr. Kitch
Judge Dread Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I do not want to give this injection
I am not a qualified physician
And I do not want to give this injection
Dorothy's begging for trouble
She is insisting I give her this needle
Don't blame me for where the needle goes
I push it in, she pulls it out
I push it back, she starts to shout:
"Dr. Kitch, you are terrible,
I can't stand the sight of your needle."
She lied down in such a position
It was difficult to give this injection
She starts holding on to the needle
Making me so uncomfortable
I said 'darling, can't you be steady,
I'm going to have it in very shortly'
She said 'Dr. Kitch I am sorry,
But the sight of the needle frightens me'
I push it in, she pulls it out
I push it back, she starts to shout:
"Dr. Kitch, you are terrible,
I can't stand the sight of your needle."
She still wouldn't lie down quietly
Constantly moving her body
So I slap her in the face with vexation
And go on giving the injection
She screams 'Doctor stop it, I can't stand the pain,
I don't think your inside the right vein'
I said 'You little fool you wouldn't be told,
The needle must be sticking in the wrong hole!'
I push it in, she pulls it out
I push it back, she starts to shout:
"Dr. Kitch, you are terrible,
I can't stand the sight of your needle."
I pull it from the hole and start again
I have the needle now in the right vein
The needle's just in half an inch
The stupid young lady start to flinch
Suddenly she calls 'Doc it's working!
I can feel the pennicilin going in'
I said 'You silly fool, look what you do
The needle's gonna break inside of you!'
I push it in, she pulls it out
I push it back, she starts to shout:
"Dr. Kitch, you are terrible,
I can't stand the sight of your needle."
I am a qualified physician
And I will give this injection

I warned her that the needle might snap inside her

And I will give this injection
And I will administer this injection
