Ex RSG drummer Carmine Appice has joined up with multi-instrumentalists, Fernando Perdomo to create a remake of Rod’s “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” that he co-wrote. The new version of the song is driven by a pulsating reggae rhythm and a guitar melody line which makes the track work as an instrumental.
It was released this week and can be streamed on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, Pandora, Amazon, Instagram, YouTube, Tidal, iHeartRadio, and other platforms.
Carman said: “This version of Sexy reggae was inspired by the days when playing live with Rod we did a reggae thing in ‘Maggie May.’ I love reggae and thought ‘Sexy’ would be great as a reggae vibe.”
With Fernando adding “Who does not love ‘Do You Think I’m Sexy? In these crazy times a song like this is much needed to bring back that feeling you get dancing or roller skating to this evergreen masterpiece. I am honored Carmine asked me to help him update this song for today. The melody is magical and it really translated well to the reggae genre. I hope listening to this song is the best five minutes of your day.”
