Hello, Old Dave. I read your comment to Courtney, and he thinks that's the catalog and matrix numbers for a very obscure Green Bros. Xylophone Orchestra alternate on the Okeh label. Can you confirm?

Apparently, the management have changed things up in the playlist leading up to Courtney's two hour extravaganza. Something called Blurred & Obscured is on now, a clear act of sabotage to throw off Old Codger listeners who expect clear and precise programming!

Avatar 7:36pm
(Murakami Whywolf))):

The euphemised version! Originally, instead of 'They make Trinidad a paradise' it was 'And they give them a better price'; and it was just 'Both mother and daughter', emphasising the type of business being done—not even a man as low on the totem-pole as a calypsonean would dare mention male prostitution, not even at Carnival, so limiting the mention to women made clear what was going-on.

—and I'd known the song for ten years before, in a forehead-smacking moment, I realised that the Coca-Cola were the Yankee men, the rum the Trinidadean women the rum, making the drink a metaphor for 'race'-mixing—I'm pretty sure I've heard one early version where it was 'they mix rum and Coca-Cola'.
