This is the only 78 I have ever found that I made money on, and I actually enjoyed the music quite a bit too. Lord Melody is like the Ray Charles of Carribean music. He did it all and was there at the very beginning, defining a lot of the genres. Some of his earliest 78s go for hundreds of dollars. This is a good example of a very obscure one, and it sold for about 100 on ebay. A pretty hilarious song really, and the music is kinda fun too. This song is about a kid who gets made fun of because his mom had sex with the creature from the black lagoon and then she gave birth to him, or something, I havent exactly delved too deep into the lyrics...

That's a wonderful jumpy version of this song. Thanks for sharing. You don't happen to have the b-side as well?
Wow that is a really great version. I love and collect old calypso tunes, but I didn't know this one!
I am glad you like it, I've just recently found another great classic calypso recording that I might put up soon, but this was by far my favorite, and the most expensive 10" I have ever found,glad you enjoyed it.
