Well, I don't care if it qualifies because it is a brilliant record - I love it, so much oomph - and I am appreciative of the fact that you posted.

So yes it qualifies and I'm going to post a bit of Monty Alexander next - again - although people if and but about him. Brethren - let us span.

What do you want to come back as next time around? Brownie makes the case for the Bed Bug in this marginally non-pc calypsonian ditty.

Tell you what, GT, I am Haile impressed by 117 Equinox's Avatar on the Youtube vid. Clear where they're standing.
By the way, my thoughts re LSP's position is that he ain't coming back down here - enlightenment has been secured!

I'm late for all of the Tuesday-Friday fun so hope to make amends here although my computer is playing up. Yesterday I purchased what will be my last of ten CD racks and re-arranged the entire lot. What a game. The catch up sections are rock n roll/blues/gospel (in one section as I only dip in) and reggae. I went mad and ordered quite a bit of additional reggae (seven second hand discs) but I was conned on Pluto. It looks like I'm getting a 77 pence album of a US post punk band. Real Pluto is pricey. I would really welcome some great (cheap) suggestions in each section. Tbh, what I really want now are recommendations for sixties reggae bands of note. I have a fair idea but would be interested in others' ideas there too. Elsewhere, the major gaps are deliberately in WM and rock/indie going forward. The first will I'm sure fill quickly. The latter, while quite small, could take forever such is the outlook now.

There's thoery this is old song is subtle double entendre, miles aways from the later crude Ska lyrics (which I love despite this)

In "British" English

I carried my ackee fruit going to Linstead Market,
Not a penny-worth sold.
I carried my ackee fruit going to Linstead Market,
Not a penny-worth sold.

(Chorus)
Lord what a night, not a bite*,
What a Saturday night.
Lord what a night not a bite,
What a Saturday night.

Everybody came to squeeze it, squeeze it,
Not a penny-worth sold.
Everybody came to squeeze it, squeeze it,
Not a penny-worth sold.

(Chorus)

My mommy don't beat me, kill me,
For the sake of a Merry-go-round.
My mommy don't beat me, kill me,
For the sake of a Merry-go-round.

(Chorus)

All the children they lingered, lingered,
For what their mama didn't bring**
All the children they lingered, lingered,
For what their mama didn't bring.

Lord, what a night, not a bite
What a Saturday night
Lord, what a night, not a bite
How will the children be fed?
