This one boils down to just one line: “No bruk pocket man can see mi nude.” In other words, it falls into a long, proud tradition of tunes in every musical genre where ladies inform the guys exactly what it’s going to cost for that long-awaited bonin’ session. What makes “Man Haffi Mind Wi” at least a little different is Lady Saw’s demeanor. She’s appropriately no-nonsense (among her demands: a trip to the “Bahamas for Sunday / An come back to mi husband Monday”) but there’s an audible undercurrent of tease that takes the edge off and keeps it all from passing for a certain time-honored but illegal activity. That’s part of what makes Saw such a superb vocalist, and setting her toasts atop this infectious riddim makes for a keeper.
