For those asking for the lyrics: et voila! (There is a story behind this song. One might say it was written with frustration and a good portion of sour grapes but you'll have to research it yourself and make your own mind up.) WHAT A FESTIVAL - ERIC DONALDSON Festival gone to waste - This a one no have no taste. Them come with them sour face - Song festival in screwface. Woy what a festival - Nobody can’t get no gal. No happiness no day round - Everybody a wear a frown. Wooooy wooooy yeah yeah. Festival ain’t the same - Everybody say it’s a shame. People please remember me name - I might steal all the festival fame. Woy what a festival - Nobody can’t get no gal. No happiness no day round - Everybody a wear a frown. Wooooy wooooy yeah yeah. Woy what a festival - Nobody can’t get no gal. No happiness no day round - Everybody a wear a frown. Woy what a festival - Nobody can’t get no gal. No happiness no day round - Everybody a wear a frown. Etc etc...
Great!!! ❤❤❤. How did you get it? Any songbook? Some strange phrase that calls my attention is: «Everybody a wear a frown.» is it a coloquial expression?
@@toma1610 No songbook I'm afraid. I wouldn't say I was an expert in Jamaican patois but I have been listening for 50+ years. I guess it would be called a colloquialism but "Everybody a wear a frown" would basically mean, "Everybody is upset", presumably because the festival "ain't the same". More tunes to come in the near future, or as they might say in Jamaica, "More wicked tune a soon come!". RDR 👍😎
@@RobinD.RichRecords Some parts are hard to understand form me, thanks for your reply. Other part when sayiing «I might steal all the festival fame.» I heard “I must deal oll the festival theme‘ lik he wanted to organize the festival. June 11 is his birthday, right?
U guys still rocking ❤
