Answer 12

It's a drug reference.  You see, duchy is a slang term for a cooking pot and the term was modified to mean  marijuana, (because it can also be called pot) and then slipped into the song.  I have heard that they were talking about some that they saw growing by the side of the road and they felt compelled to mention it.

I love that song, by the way.

Answer 14

A song by Musical youth. A cooking dish or utensil i think.

A song by Musical Youth - Pass the dutchie

Pass the joint! Marijuana... weed... doobies!  

Answer 21

The dutchie is a cannabis - sometimes with tobacco - filled cigarette. Sometimes the effects of the cannabis smoke cause the smokers to forget which direction the dutchie should be passed, so the song makes it official.

Answer 27

I remember Musical Youth. My brother was at a Birmingham college with one of them after they split up that is.

It was a cover version of the song "Pass the Kouchie" by The Mighty Diamonds, written by Leroy Sibbles and Jackie Mittoo. The song was changed from "Kouchie," a slang term for a cannabis smoking pipe, to "Dutchie" due to the age of the artists and their target audience. A "Dutchie" was slang for the cooking pot used by poor Jamaicans to prepare stews and rice. More recently the term "dutchie" refers to marijuana rolled in a cigar paper (specifically "Dutch Masters" cigars, hence the name "dutchie". See Cannabis smoking).
