1981 single by King Crimson
"Thela Hun Ginjeet" is a single by the band King Crimson, released in 1981 and on 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 American slang for firearms or for police.)
While "Thela Hun Ginjeet" is in 4
4 time, Robert Fripp`s electric guitar plays in 7
8 time during much of the song, creating a polymetric effect. The instrumental middle section of the song features a recording of Adrian Belew`s voice, in which he describes being confronted by a British Jamaican street gang and subsequently the police while walking around Notting Hill Gate in London with a tape recorder.[2]
Live versions
During King Crimson`s tours in support of Discipline and its successor Beat, Belew would tell the story while the song was being performed. During the Beat tour, the story-telling was somewhat improvised. From the Three of a Perfect Pair tour onwards, this was dropped, leaving only the sung lyrics, although the original recording was played during tours in the band`s mid-1990s "double trio" era. This practice continued during the 2024 "Beat" tour, which, while not technically King Crimson, included 2 of the 4 members that recorded the original.
Cover versions
- Groups with Discipline-era King Crimson members (e.g. Adrian Belew Power Trio, Stick Men, The Crimson ProjeKCt) have covered the song live.
- Les Claypool has covered this song live, along with Primus, his musical project Colonel Les Claypool`s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade (as included on their live album Live Frogs Set 1), and The Claypool Lennon Delirium.[3]
- Supergroup Gizmodrome, of which Belew is a member, performed the song in concert during their 2018 tours and included a live version on the album Gizmodrome Live.
