| Backed by the Roots Radics, Eek cut "Virgin Girl" and "Noah's Ark," before having another go at "Wa-Do-Dem." The latter did the trick, Eek-A-Mouse had arrived with a sound so unlike any other, equal parts singing, DJing, and disconcerting Oriental-esque weirdness, that soon all of the island was raving about the rodent. |
| Eek saw out the year with the holiday hit, "Christmas A-Come." 1982 was the year of the Mouse, with a litter of smash singles including "Wild Like a Tiger," "For Hire and Removal," "Do You Remember," and "Ganja Smuggling," and the seminal album Wa Do Dem, rounding up most of the hits and more. |
| With "Operation Eradication," Eek proved there was a thinking man inside the mouse costume, on a single inspired by the tragic vigilante killing of close friend and fellow DJ Errol Scorcher. |
