Thanks. Glad you enjyoed it. Most of the people mentioned are from the area around Pasea Village in Tunapuna where I grew up - friends, family, and people I knew who were involved in steelbands in Tunapuna and other areas.
Excellent calypso, George! I'm a Trini, originally from Woodbrook, living in Montserrat and I've made a list of the nicknames of Montserratians too. Here they not only have nicknames, they also have one or more jumbie names, making obits quite interesting.
@@calypsomusicgeorgerampersad Some of the nicknames here originated from the size of the person's penis. In another case it is passed on from father to son, and then on to the family dog! Lord help us. I used to sing calypso here, under the name Lady Evryting Done. Now I'm too old! Sigh.
@@shirleyspycalla7424 I know some of them...also about the size/amount of testicles...ha! ha! I playen pan with a man called Lion and his son got the name even before the father died! You sang calypso...wow! That is so nice to hear. Did you ever record any ? Keep on smilin' ;-o))
@@calypsomusicgeorgerampersad I recorded "Donkey Palitics" (not Politics because in Montserrat elections go according to whose pal is whose pal), "Coocoo-Roocoo" (about the fight between the rooster and hen as to who lays the bigger eggs), and "Chastity" (when an American friend brought down a chastity belt for me with lock and key because, in my old age, I kept claiming to be a virgin)! You shoulda seen me onstage. The damn belt couldn't go up past my knee! Bomber came up from T&T and stayed at our guesthouse. He encouraged me to sing caiso. I'm so sorry he passed away.
George Boy 😊 what a wonderful song you made there🕺 funny in my home town we were known for giving nick names too 😂 Mano, Hudi, Karsten Krudt , Niller, Tudse, and the longest was Bent Fabrillo Vladimir Milo Sursok Christensen 😂😂 ❤️ Sugarfoot
Had to laugh as I know many of these nicknames. Many have a lil story which caused the person to be given the particular nickname. A chap I know got bitten by a scorpion. From that day, he was renamed Poison!
Glad yuh enjoy it. Yuh right dat plenty ah dem name have ah lil story behind de name. Half ah dem name ah call is famalee / people ah know / grow up wit / play pan wit in Tunapuna...! Stay strong, bro!
Yuh know how much people "complain" dat ah fuhetd dis one an dat one? Ah tell dem ah go have tuh write bout 20 more verse tuh include all ah dem name ha! ha!
@@calypsomusicgeorgerampersad oh JeeZ. during my 4th listen to this I remember I've been called ~Turk~ short for Turkey because of misaddressed mail to ******turkey and called Joe the Worm because I brought up the subject of people who grow worms as fish bait. I won't say what they're calling me now. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😁😆😆
@@joecafferky8766 I have also been called many things - what people call you is more a reflection of them rather than you. if someone says you are "stupid" it is often because they feel good - as is makes them "smart"..and because they are in fact "stupid"...if you catch my drift..?
