I've been a fan of The Mighty Sparrow since I was 4 years old, and to this day, I'm 21 now, and I still love this song like its the first time I ever heard it. He's truly the King Of Calypso may his music live on forever🙏🏿
Who’s listening in 2020? The entire planet is on lockdown from covid19 and I’m at home with my family, going down memory lane. I hope that we all make it through this terrible time. In the meantime I’ll enjoy some great music from a West Indian legend. Thank you Slinger Francisco. All the best folks. One love.
My dad used to play these when we were very young and he would always be laughing .... Took me 40 years to realize what he was laughing at ... RIP Dad You sneaky bastard .... #love the classics
Born in 96’ but I rather listen to them old time calypso. The rhythms that had our grandparents ready to stand up and move is now having me jam down de place. We must never forget those that came before us!
I was born in 98' and I feel the exact same. The music of today lacks any kind of feeling. It's as if there's no soul, which is ironic because Soca is the Soul of Calypso
2020 , what can I say, just the year of mass extinction. I recently lost my a good friend to COVID in April and now my pops who suddenly passed on May 16th (not COVID) without warning. He was from Trinidad & Tobago. I remember him telling me stories about working with The Mighty Sparrow back in the day. My dad worked in television, he started out in TTT station in Trinidad, then moved on to work at stations in the US to further his career starting from NBC, Discovery Channel, WPIX11 to finally FOX 5 NY. Hearing Sparrow also brings back memories of my grandmother singing Jean & Dinah when my brother and I were younger. Then hearing my grandfather call her by her name and tell her "Stop singin dat to de children.." LOL. I just needed to hear these songs to bring me back to those days when there were all alive and happy. I will miss my dad dearly. I can say my relationship with my dad was solid, and I am grateful for the time spent with him. For those that can, make the time with your family. Tell them you love them because things can change suddenly. Stay Safe.
The ingenuity of calypso lyrics, was to be descriptive without blatant vulgarity. That takes real creativity..... something that is lost in nowadays art form.
Sparrow is a legend my father Mc Donald Stanley introduce me to Sparrow. no one can touch him in his time always a winner for years. Untouchable. Respect
Correcting school work on a Friday night , with our West Indian , Mighty Sparrow. A Saturday will not pass without his songs being played on the radio .
This was the smart man I grew up listening to in the 60's. His songs will always be a sweet memory of the good ole days. There was notin like dat. Man, dem was the days when the lizzard run up teacher Mildred dress. But now I'm a grown man, the lizzard has been with me. And believe me, Sparrow eh dead nah. D man is good for some slack talk.
Ahhh, beautifully put. You are quite poetic in your own right. But Yes!!! Sparrow was the 'Master' in lyrical delivery. His music reminds me of my late father. May he R.I.P. He was a real lover of Sparrow's music and it was through him I was introduced. Trini parents, UK born. Got to live out there. So I've had the best of both worlds. The world was a different place in the 80's, when I was a teenager. Or maybe, it was, that I, was innocent & sheltered from so much. I just wish we would 'All' Love each other more. Not necessarily down the line in which 'The Mighty Sparrow R.I.P was referring Lol 😝😂. Naughty but Nice. Missjamm/UK
Maria, Sparrow is still alive. He’s been experiencing some health issues in recent years, but is still very much alive. Appreciate your comments. Bless!
This tune going be bouncing all in the year 3000. Classic masterpiece! Sparrow is a trip. "... I was holding her for the police. She never had the gun in her chest so I was looking under she dress, that is all... Lol
Lying excuses!! One of my favorite the mighty Sparrow my all time lyrics he can come up with the words boooy!! De lizard !! Mr Ben wood!! Salt fish !! I could go on and on the melody of these grrreat!! Long live Slinger Francisco The mighty Sparrow I will always Love You!!
my dad would play sparrow over and over into the wee hours of the morning. my dad loved this music. I used to find it annoying as a kid- now it just gives me great memories of my dad

His laugh at the end is so infectious 😂😆✨
Still remains a big tune in 2021 👏👏👏

@ Gabriell Farell not only does it remain a big tune but a sweet and feel good tune that you just dance to without a partner
TRUE !

We will die and it will live on 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥🔥🔥
Born in 96’ but I rather listen to them old time calypso. The rhythms that had our grandparents ready to stand up and move is now having me jam down de place. We must never forget those that came before us!
Same. I was born in 97' and I love the throwback Calypso, soca and reggae tunes ❤️
Yes man you know it.
I was born in 98' and I feel the exact same. The music of today lacks any kind of feeling. It's as if there's no soul, which is ironic because Soca is the Soul of Calypso

A sandwich and coffee ain't pass 2000
This song proves that everything have a rational explanation.
Lol. So true. Even when the obvious is clear.
King of Calypso. There will never be another like him. His music is fantastic!
Here in 2022, dreaming of the Caribbean. Love you Sparrow, so witty and fun.

Timeless classics from a true legend. Still enjoyed in 2019 and will be enjoyed for many years to come....
The ingenuity of calypso lyrics, was to be descriptive without blatant vulgarity. That takes real creativity..... something that is lost in nowadays art form.
Absolutely ? That best
You still here
@@pauldorestant1408 well saided.
I love his melody and the lyrics even more, his creativity is unparalleled. Simply THE BEST calypsonian in the world
2023, still enjoying, beautiful memories surfaced, all good vibes.
Sparrow is a legend my father Mc Donald Stanley introduce me to Sparrow. no one can touch him in his time always a winner for years. Untouchable. Respect
I love all his songs
Come back for the memories
Love this song. Never gets old.😅🤣I ain't lying, it's true!!
that watless laughter in the end !!!!
Head and shoulders above any other singer from the Caribbean. In a class by himself.
Phenomenal talent. This is my favourite recording of one of many signature tunes by Sparrow
GENIUS lyrics! And the ICONIC Sparrow laugh!
In my opinion, this is a master piece of music and should be regarded as one of the best songs of all times!!!
Correcting school work on a Friday night , with our West Indian , Mighty Sparrow. A Saturday will not pass without his songs being played on the radio .
The man is a damn genius of relationships!
mangojulie123 A sign of a great artist, from Shakespeare to The Beatles.
Think of when he did Bag Of Sugar (1966) If Sparrow had another Ph.D. it would be in understanding women!! 😂
This song is something else, oh how I love it. It puts Shaggy song,"It was not me to shame.
Genius!😊
Sparrow have an answer for everything. That's all...that is all...that is all. 😂
MalickJoJenna lolol
MalickJoJenna lolol
MalickJoJenna k
...... you

lmao
Ha, ha, ha... Sparrow is so innocent.
A master at work spinning a believable yarn.

Man, dem was the days when the lizzard run up teacher Mildred dress. But now I'm a grown man, the lizzard has been with me. And believe me, Sparrow eh dead nah. D man is good for some slack talk.
Almost 2022 and I still love this song. All lies. This always makes me laugh and smile. LOL
Witty lyrics wedded to a light, bouncy, tight and infectious melody and arrangement. Musical honors brilliantly executed by Nappy Mayers. Perfection!
You've got to be a musician. Good review.
Ahhh, beautifully put. You are quite poetic in your own right. But Yes!!! Sparrow was the 'Master' in lyrical delivery. His music reminds me of my late father. May he R.I.P. He was a real lover of Sparrow's music and it was through him I was introduced. Trini parents, UK born. Got to live out there. So I've had the best of both worlds.

Maria, Sparrow is still alive. He’s been experiencing some health issues in recent years, but is still very much alive. Appreciate your comments. Bless!
Soca Lover, appreciate your comments . Bless!
@@Randy-Roberts I think Maria was saying RIP to her dad, not Sparrow.
Yoooo this is a timeless masterpiece, 2022 and beyond...that's all, that is all, that is all!
2022 onwards, nuff respect to a soca legend 🙏💯
November 2022 and this song still pumping
Sparrow is not only a calypsonian but also a poet, and one of our best entertainer.

Fun lyrics and one of his most danceable tunes.
the greatest calypsonian. Despite being East Indian i like his West Indian songs.
You should check out his love for the East Indian ladies, Marajin Sister comes to mind.
Music has no borders brother, I know more Mantra, Bhajans, Gurbani Shabad than most of my Indian friends...Salaam
Trinidad and Tobago is a multi cultural society we accept all races.
