Not only that but the word 'cod' is the memorable centrepiece of this monologue that proves forever that Irish football punditry is better than the backslapping former pro world of the BBC, even if it's arguably wrong in hindsight.

... bad at illustrating cod reggae, that is, not bad musically.

Otm. Also I seem to see a picture of Mick Jagger with some people who don't look like the Stones, but found no mention of the song "Luxury," which is more cod reggae then most of the stuff here. Although perhaps it is more cod calypso.

"Cod-lypso" was right there.

yes, not really reggae ;-) it's got a sort of Donovan vibe hasn't it?

but corny dudes trying to go reggae is a guilty pleasure of mine, I have to admit. Especially when it's Laid Back doing it
