"Thela Hun Ginjeet" is a single by the band King Crimson, released in 1981 and on the album Discipline (1981). The song name is an anagram of "heat in the jungle", which is a reference to crime in the city. (The term "heat" is American slang for firearms or for police.)
While "Thela Hun Ginjeet" is in 4
4 time, Robert Fripp's electric guitar plays in 7
8 time during much of the song, creating a polymetric effect. The instrumental middle section of the song features a recording of Adrian Belew's voice, in which he describes being confronted by a British Jamaican street gang and subsequently the police while walking around Notting Hill Gate in London with a tape recorder.[2]
