"Wheelbarrow music" is a type of Jamaican Ska pioneered back in the mid 60's by the likes of Toots and the Maytals, Leslie Kong, the Slickers, the Upsetters, Jimmy Cliff and Desmond Dekker etc.
It was so called "Wheelbarrow Music" because it has that kind of beat thats so good on a sunny day, it makes you want to play it on an old transistor radio in an old wheelbarrow through the streets of kingston with a big cheesy grinn on ya face.
Wheelbarrow music is well known to bring happyness to anyone who hears it and is especially popular with old skool O.G Rude boys.

I overheard a landscaper yesterday talking to his colleagues about a "wheelbarrel". This is an occasional mistake people make; indeed when I worked at the Canadian Oxford Dictionary department we had a letter from someone who said she had a bet with her boyfriend about it and a pizza was riding on the outcome!
It's not surprising that people change "barrow" into "barrel" because "barrow", originally something like a stretcher on legs with shafts by which it could be lifted, is not a common word anymore. This phenomenon of exchanging an unfamiliar word to a similar sounding familiar one has been quite common over the course of the history of the language. For instance, as we saw earlier, the Old English word "goom" became "groom".
Another phenomenon favouring the understanding of "Barrow" as "barrel" is that terminal l's are often swallowed up in speech, or in some varieties of the language turned into a vowel, so some people will say "barrel" as if it were "barrew".
"Barrel" came into English from French; its ultimate origin is unknown. "Barrow", on the other hand, like most garden equipment terms, likely goes back to Anglo-Saxon, related to the word "bear" (carry).

Get the Wheelbarrow of Shame mug.Refers to the slightly loopy child's game whereby the youngster stretches out on his tummy and raises himself up on his hands, whereupon an adult or somewhat bigger child grasps and lifts the kid's ankles and then slowly "trundles" him forward while the child walks along on his hands. An ideal activity to keep a child "occupied for a few" when there's nothing else to do at the time, or to painlessly compel a hyper/rambunctious child to quit horsing around, since he cannot do anything else while partaking of the game.
