"Ali Baba" was a single performed by John Holt and released in 1970 by Treasure Isle.
Characters mentioned in the song come from nursery rhymes and include Ali Baba, the forty thieves, Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son, The Duke and the Duchess, Alice in Wonderland, the three blind mice, the Teddybear and the Little Bo-peep.
According to Steve Barrow's liner notes to If Deejay Was Your Trade, it was "Bunny Lee who built his version in 1975 for Jackie Edwards, and then used it for the various cuts over the (fictitious) war between barbers and dreadlocks."[1]
A famous use of the riddim is on "I Killed The Barber" by Dr Alimantado, published on his album Best Dressed Chicken in Town.
