Calypso Heat Wave must be in the Public Domain as it is available for free on YouTube. Hopefully YouTube won't crash with the rush of folks to view it.
Thanks for the info Larry. I'm now anxiously awaiting the SECOND great Calypso musical...
Is "Chocoune" Haitian for "Yellow Bird" ?
The Tarriers tune is from the eminently forgettable 1957 film Calypso Heat Wave . It was billed as "The Screen's First Great Calypso Musical" [there were others?]. Even better, it was from the producers of Rock Around The Clock! Besides Banana Boat Song , the Tarriers also perform the traditional Haitian folk song Chocoune .
