Maxie’s reputation as a ladies man must have been on Bunny’s mind when he tried to persuade Max to record ‘Wet Dream’. Max had written the song but did not want to sing it and none of Bunny’s Agro stable of established artists, including Slim Smith, Roy Shirley and John Holt would touch it. Even Derrick Morgan whose ‘Hold You Jack‘ rhythm was to be used for the song did not want to know.

Bunny, a man never short of ideas, (one of his album sleeves even featured a cartoon of a man’s head with a glowing light bulb above it) realised that the song had definite possibilities. He would later gain the soubriquet ‘Striker’ because of his almost innate ability to make hit records. Maxie was not over-keen, but Bunny allegedly told him if he didn’t do it he was ‘out of here’, and so they arrived one night at Studio One on Brentford Road to find Coxsone himself in charge of the session. When he heard Max sing the opening bars of ‘Wet Dream’ he was so disgusted that he refused to go any further and told his apprentice engineer, Errol ‘ET’ Thompson, to take over on the board. Rude or ‘slack’ records were nothing new and, under the influence of American artists such as Blowfly, were currently undergoing something of a revival, but the format usually tended towards boasts of sexual prowess rather than a concern with ‘erotic dreams causing involuntary ejaculations’. Bunny promptly took ‘Wet Dream’ to the Palmer brothers in London who promptly released it on their Unity label.

It was an exciting time for Jamaican music in the U.K. as it bathed in its first real run of international success largely due to its adoption by London’s ‘skinhead‘ cult. Oh how we laughed when we first heard the record, acknowledging that it was a version of an already established hit record on a popular rhythm and expecting that, like most ‘novelty’ records, it would disappear in a week or two as soon as something new came along.

However this one refused to go away and it proved to be instrumental in introducing reggae to the British public as it continued to sell and sell and sell. It made and stayed on the U.K. National Charts for an unprecedented twenty-five weeks where it reached the dizzy heights of number ten without the benefit of any radio play at all. The record was deemed so offensive that Alan Freeman was not permitted to even say the title on his Sunday afternoon ‘Pick Of The Pops’ show and it was only ever referred to as ‘a record by Max Romeo’. The potent blend of humour and sexual ‘suggestiveness’ ensured its popularity with the U.K. audience who had never heard anything quite so blatant before.

It certainly proved to be a rude awakening for young Max who was really thrown in at the deep end and when he arrived in the U.K. to promote the record he steadfastly stuck to his story that his song was nothing whatsoever to do with sex at all. Oh no. In fact it was an everyday story of poverty in Jamaica where the roof of Maxie’s shack was constantly leaking – and we all know just how much it pours with rain in Jamaica.

The chorus of ‘lie down gal let me push it up, push it up’ actually alluded to the ever polite Max requesting that his young lady move out of the way so that he push a broom up into the hole in the roof to stop said leak. So now we knew that ‘Wet Dream’ was not rude and was all about Maxie’s good night’s sleep being disturbed by a leaking roof. So that’s all right then. Of course everyone believed him even though no-one thought to ask him what the lines about ‘give the crumpet to Big Foot Joe, give the fanny to me’ meant and Alan Freeman persisted in calling it ‘a record by Max Romeo’.

Just in case anyone had really believed him, Maxie went on to promptly record a number of innuendo filled records which, strangely enough, also failed to garner any air play and, to this day, ‘Wet Dream’ remains his sole U.K. chart entry. Surprisingly ‘Wet Dream’ was not a particularly big seller in Jamaica, but even if he found it hard to live down the stigma attached to the record in the U.K., Maxie had no such problems at home and he enjoyed hit after hit on the Jamaican charts.

And I believed John Lennon when he said that he and 4-year-old Julian were innocently drawing pictures at the kitchen table one day, and John asked his son what the picture of the lady flying through the air wearing gems was, and Julian said, "Lucy in the sky with diamonds." The song had absolutely NOTHING to do with anything else.

I live in California, but originally from Birmingham. My best friend's parents had the record and he was allowed to play with the system.

One day, he heard the song and kept singing the chorus over and over and over again. He caught hell/heck/hades, etc, etc... with a wooden hair brush(he was 7)!
