Comments and Reviews
| fixbutte 6th Jun 2016 | One could mention that the Andrews Sisters lyrics, copyrighted in the USA to comedian Morey Amsterdam, were not the original lyrics either. Actually Amsterdam lifted the song, originally written by Trinidad artist Lord Invader (born Rupert Grant) to a melody of calypso composer Lionel Belasco, when he visited Trinidad in September 1943 as part of a U.S.O. tour. Although Amsterdam stripped the song of most of its social commentary (about U.S. soldiers debauching local women), he preserved the chorus hinting that women were prostituting themselves ("Both mother and daughter / Working for the Yankee dollar"), although the Andrews Sisters apparently didn't get it. See Wikipedia for the whole story. | |
| xiphophilos 4th Jun 2016 | A Side: As you can hear, there's a number of new verses, and "der Bingle" doesn't get mentioned at all. B Side: | |
| xiphophilos 4th Jun 2016 | Here are the original lyrics of "Rum and Coca-Cola," as sung by the Andrew Sisters: If you ever go down Trinidad They make you feel so very glad Calypso sing and make up rhyme Guarantee you one real good fine time. Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar. Oh, beat it man, beat it! Since the Yankee come to Trinidad They got the young girls all goin' mad. Young girls say they treat 'em nice, Make Trinidad like paradise. Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar. Oh, you vex me, you vex me! From Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle Native girls all dance and smile. Help soldier celebrate his leave, Make every day like New Year's Eve. Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar. It's a fact, man, it's a fact! In old Trinidad, I also fear The situation is mighty queer. Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon When she hear der Bingle croon. Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar. Out on Manzanella Beach G.I. romance with native peach. All night long, make tropic love, Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off. Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola Go down Point Koomahnah Both mother and daughter Workin' for the Yankee dollar. It's a fact, man, it's a fact! Rum and Coca-Cola Rum and Coca-Cola Workin' for the Yankee dollar. | |
| W.B.lbl 4th Jun 2016 | Very simple. "Der Bingle" was Bing Crosby who recorded for the same label the Andrews Sisters' hit version was released on - Decca. The "swooners' idol" was Frank Sinatra who, at the time, just happened to be signed to Columbia. If the switch occurred, it would have happened in this verse that begins thus: "In old Trinidad, I oh so fear The situation is mighty-------" | |
| vocalion red 3rd Jun 2016 | I don't know what you mean by "der bingle". Name some names. Who is the swooners idol ? I played this record today, and the only thing I could understand from her was "workin' for the yankee dolla'" | |
| W.B.lbl 3rd Jun 2016 | I presume in this version of the A side, they replaced "Der Bingle" with a certain swooners' idol signed to this very label in the lyrics? | |
