... but you have to have an UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIDE AT THE TIME. The song was both au courant and futuristic at the same time. Of course. BOOGSIE spoiled the musical introduction and DENYSE PLUMBER is the last vocalist in the world that I would pick to sing a CALYPSO. Not that any of the CALYPSO singers could really sing -- which is another one of my cultural gripes.
Anyway, let me get back to the lyrics with the OPENING LINES and the CLOSING LINES!!!
Tell the DEE JAY to play
Only SOCA music to today
For when I feel this way
I could party ALL DAY ...
At the end of the day
Social PRESSURES have you at BAY
Take a TIMEOUT I say
And just that DANCE THEM AWAY ...
Now what that has to do 33 years later with the SOCA PAN MUSIC DEBATE (33 years later!!!) between Alexica Lxc Adams and Duvone Stewart -- ONLY CLAUDE alone knows ... ah tell allyuh the song was FUTURISTIC!!!
