And as a bonus, here's Kitch singing about how his, um, instrument reminds his wife of their honeymoon...

Change of direction on my #JukeboxFridayNight, because I have to include a calypso wherever possible, whether anyone wants me to or not (I think the latter is rather more common).

And #SheMakesMusic obviously leads to the Queen of the Calypso, the first woman to win the Road March and whose success forced the Calypso King competition to become Calypso Monarch. All hail Calypso Rose!

Everybody hate the monilia
Monilia this and monilia that
Nobody hate the computer
Computer is a wicked talking parrot

(...)

Any time I meet a computer
Take it from me confidentially
I'm going to grab the executor
And go jumping into the sea
Because computer tell them this
Computer tell them that
And the officials they all agree
Computer tell them the devil knows what
And they take the pension from me, yeh! yeh!

Daily #SteveKimock. Originally released as a DVDof the entire show, digital pirating dashed any hope of recovering even production costs, let alone profit. But at least it’s a high quality testament to a great band.

And as a bonus, here's another transportation song from Kitch, in which our hero gets embroiled in a steamy affair whilst sailing across the Atlantic.

I've got something else for #TransportTunes this #TuneTuesday.

Always time for a bit of Lord Kitchener, right? In this one, Kitch gets terribly lost whilst trying to navigate the Tube system, and commits to walking in future.

It's still Friday somewhere, and I've very belatedly found out what this week's genre is, so I can get two birds with one stone here. 🏏

Victory Test Match - Lord Beginner (1950)

By the time I saw this, the YouTube link wasn't working. Here's another for the same (terrific) song:

#GenreOfTheWeek #Calypso

Here's a classic for the #GenreOfTheWeek #Calypso. Lord Invader's Rum and Coca-Cola, with an intro elicited by Alan Lomax:

youtube.com/watch?v=c87IEG5D7ic

The Andrews Sisters had a huge hit with this, about which Lord Invader was not so happy. His version is an anti-imperialist (but also misogynist) social critique. Theirs was a novelty piece laughing at the silly natives. Same words, same song. I've also heard a version where he claims rightful credit and
makes fun of the way they sang it.

Last one today:

"Barbados Carnival" by Mighty Panther

I just love this music.

Here's another good one I ran into yesterday:

"The Weed" by Count Lasher

What is it with the lyrics in this genre 😆

Okay, enough of that NONSENSE. Let's have a calypso song for ##JukeboxFridayNight #GamesWePlay.

This is one of the best known calypso numbers in the UK, but I've no idea how well known it is elsewhere. Probably not in the slightest, the cricketing islands of the Caribbean notwithstanding.

Here's a toot I had saved for this week back in January (!) by @popcornreel (thanks for sharing it!). It's a video of Harry Belafonte speaking against racism and oppression, in 1963.

"People who have refused to commit themselves, or even have the slightest knowledge that these things have been going on."
