In our March 2010 edition we published a mocked up advertisement which some readers may have taken to suggest that the makers of Heinz food products, HJ Heinz Company Limited, are supporters of fascism and the British National Party. However, we accept that this allegation is categorically untrue and that Heinz are not and never have been such supporters. We are happy to correct the position and wish to apologise for any damage caused by making this false allegation.

Prince Zimboo providing a royal road to learning with track about fish making splish splish
Words Phil Hebblethwaite
Ever wondered why the sea’s salty? It’s because the octopus is getting naughty. So says Prince Zimboo on his brilliant signature track, ‘To The Rescue’. He doesn’t drink water because fish have sex in it and he’s always grinning. Sound unusual? You should see him at a funeral. He’s already saved Bobby from Whitney and now he’s going to save you. If you ignore the message in his song, you are like “masturbating fish”. Heh.
‘To The Rescue’ (sometimes called ‘Say Heh’), cut on the sparse ‘Pop Champagne’ beat, is fast becoming a cult smash on the internet. International beat hunter Diplo posted it on his blog and it started to spread. He has many other genius songs too. ‘I Love J.A.’ begins with a lyric about how a woman who doesn’t want to be his thousandth wife is lying to herself...
Hold on there, Zimboo! You have 999 wives? “Yes yes, 500 in Africa, the rest worldwide, this is true. I love them and they love me too.”
Prince Zimboo says he’s the son of The Most Grinnerable King Agindiboop and Queen Amimil Abakunamabooba of Dbush in Africa. Um, Dbush? “Where North Africa meets South Africa, there is a thin layer of impenetrable rainforest called Dbush. It is a magical sacred region which does not appear on any map - is true, this no crap.”
He ended up in Jamaica via England. “It was always a dream of mine to prove myself in the region where the music originated,” he says. “So, heh, to Jamaica I reach! Many DJ in Jamaica Prince Zimboo teach... HEH!”
Now he’s determined to go global, and Diplo is helping: “He voted it as one of the best tracks of last year, which is amazing since it’s not even released till this year.”
But what of water? Do you really never drink it? “I drank water recently,” he confesses, “but it was straight from the mouth of the spring at the mountain, not from a fountain. In it no fish to make splish splish!”
