"Solomon Gundie" is a song by Jamaican ska singer Eric "Monty" Morris released in 1964 by Black Swan Records.[1] It was produced by Leslie Kong[2] with lyrics based on the nursery rhyme "Solomon Grundy". The song was later recorded by a number of artists, most notably by French singer Amanda Lear. Her version was released as a single by Ariola Records in 1980 and was a minor chart hit in Germany. Australian band Allniters released a cover of the song on their 1999 album Another Fine Mess.[3]
