Thela Hun Ginjeet chords by King Crimson

Thela Hun Ginjeet is a song by King Crimson, released in 1981. Its tracks are from the album Discipline (1981). The song name is an anagram of "heat in the jungle", which is a reference to crime in the city. (The term "heat" is often used in American slang to refer to the police.) While most of the instruments are in 4/4 time, Robert Fripp's electric guitar plays in 7/8 time during part of the song, creating an unusual effect. In the middle of the song, voice recordings are heard. Adrian Belew talks about his experience with members of London street gangs and the police, trying to get voice recordings for the song (Adrian Belew's blog entry about this event). During their tour for the Discipline and Beat albums, Belew would tell the story while the song was being performed. During the Beat tour at least, the story-telling was somewhat improvised. In later live performances - as evidenced by the performance on Absent Lovers: Live in Montreal - the storytelling is dropped, leaving only the sung lyrics. However, for reasons unknown, the storytelling re-appeared on the Double Trio tours (cf. VROOOM VROOOM) but it was in the form of a backing tape identical to the album version. * Robert Fripp - guitar * Adrian Belew - guitar, vocals * Tony Levin - bass guitar, Chapman stick, vocals * Bill Bruford - drums Read more on Last.fm.
