That's reggae
Harry Belafonte was calypso. Daylight come and me wanna go home

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Owz about "I'm going to Barbados" by Typically Tropical.
Surely can't get more calypso than that.
Recently just been copied by Venger Boys as "I'm going to Ibiza"
I always smile when my kids thinks the covers are the originals and they ask me how I know such "modern" songs.
I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.
