I'm sure some of you already know that Patayo was inspired from another song and it's a medley, but this has much more history behind it than you think. The "hey heyo, patayo, pa walla bai bai" line and melody actually originated from Jamaican reggae artist Jah Screechy's "Walk and Skank". Then SL2 sampled the song in his record "On A Ragga Tip" and Dr. Victor decided to interpolate the line and the song became known as "Badayo". Later on, if I remember correctly, a Pakistani artist also recorded a song interpolating the melody of "On A Ragga Tip" called "Amma Dekh" and it was used in an Urdu movie from 1992, and then an Indian artist covered the song in Hindi and the name of the song was kept the same. And after a couple of years, Juanita released Patayo. I don't even know if she credited Jah Screechy for it.
