Edwin Ayoung (born 1944), better known as Crazy, is a Trinidadian calypsonian. He has been active since the mid-1970s and is one of the most successful artists from Trinidad and Tobago.

Crazy's lyrics are often humorous, but have also incorporated political themes. While many of his lyrics have been risqué, in 2011 he appealed to parang soca artists to keep lyrics 'holy' in the run up to Christmas. In contrast to the homophobic lyrics of many calypsonians, Crazy's "Take ah Man", with its line "If yuh cyar get ah wooman, take ah man", was adopted as a gay anthem in Trinidad and Tobago. He wrote "Stop the Crime" in response to the murder of state prosecutor Dana Seetahal and general level of crime in Trinidad.

00:02:03 And you run second for the road march too?

00:02:13 It was one two in the savannah

00:02:17 She won the road march and I won the crown.
00:02:19 I'm sure everybody who was just whining just now
00:02:21 was like, "Well, yeah, well."
00:02:23 All the way I go to sing, people ask me to sing that song.
00:02:25 There's two songs that
00:02:27 wherever I go up to now,
00:02:29 when I go to do shows like in Jamaica,
00:02:31 I go like anywhere.
00:02:33 I go New Jersey, New York.
00:02:35 People ask me to sing that
00:02:37 and they ask me to sing In Time To Come.
00:02:39 I go to the club too.
00:02:41 Those kids are getting it from down to there.
00:02:43 I don't sing it much because
00:02:45 people ask me to sing it but
00:02:47 I always keep changing it.
00:02:49 - Every time the time changes,
00:02:51 you have to update the song.
00:02:53 I want to start from the beginning.
00:02:55 How long are you in this business now?
00:02:57 - Nearly 50 years.
00:02:59 - 50 years?
00:03:01 - I'm young.
00:03:03 I want to change it to what's young
00:03:05 and not so young.
00:03:07 Nearly 50 years I've been singing.
00:03:09 - Tell me about your career.
00:03:11 - I started off in the years
00:03:13 I'm talking all around the
00:03:15 I'm talking like in the
00:03:17 early 60s.
00:03:19 When Sparrow was a young fella.
00:03:21 Me and Sparrow in 2005.
00:03:23 Sparrow in '85.
00:03:25 I was only 76.
00:03:27 But Sparrow,
00:03:29 I used to sing spoiler songs.
00:03:31 When I was a young fella,
00:03:33 I had my quattro.
00:03:35 I was playing and strumming calypso with the quattro.
00:03:37 I used to sing all spoiler songs.
00:03:39 This happened recently.
00:03:41 Some people in our village lost their memory.
00:03:43 People find I used to sing these songs good.
00:03:45 I was only 12, 13 years old.
00:03:47 People find,
00:03:49 they say, "Why don't you start singing calypso?
00:03:51 You have a good voice."
00:03:53 I say, "Me?"
00:03:55 Sparrow laughs at me.
00:03:57 That's how it started.
00:03:59 I used to go to Dutch parties.
00:04:01 In those days,
00:04:03 you carry a Dutch party.
00:04:05 You carry a bottle. You carry something.
00:04:07 - They said that one time.
00:04:09 - I'm sure they don't call it Dutch party.
00:04:11 - I came back to the Wonders the other day.
00:04:13 - That's it going all right.
00:04:15 - Yeah.
00:04:17 - You went to a Dutch party.
00:04:19 You sing.
00:04:21 - Sometimes,
00:04:23 in those days, calypso was more popular.
00:04:25 Calypso is a different type of calypso.
00:04:27 - It's a political calypso.
00:04:29 - Yeah.
00:04:31 Spoiler was popular.
00:04:33 Sparrow,
00:04:35 I don't think Sparrow was there yet.
00:04:37 I'm talking about the early 50s.
00:04:39 Bleaky was there.
00:04:41 I used to sing a lot of Bleaky.
00:04:43 I used to sing a lot of Crystal.
00:04:45 Our next calypso was named Crystal.
00:04:47 People finally used to sing them good.
00:04:49 The young fella singing all these old calypsos.
00:04:51 That's how it started.
00:04:53 - Okay.
00:04:55 - Then a fella named Calypso Height.
00:04:57 He came from
00:04:59 Matura.
00:05:01 He and our next fella named
00:05:03 Doran Hector.
00:05:05 We still sing here. We sing in the same calypso tent.
00:05:07 They are the men who bring me out in calypso.
00:05:09 Calypso Heights is the
00:05:11 fella Solomon Finley who wrote
00:05:13 the first calypso for us to sing.
00:05:15 That first calypso was a song named
00:05:17 China Man.
00:05:19 In those days the Vietnam War was going on.
00:05:21 - Right.
00:05:23 - It didn't have no Viagra at that time.
00:05:25 It had a little bottle with a thing called China Man.
00:05:27 It had a bottle with a little brush in it.
00:05:29 A little shiny brush.
00:05:31 I said I wanted to sing about that.
00:05:33 You know what I mean?
00:05:35 - Where did you use to do the brush?
00:05:37 - The little brush?
00:05:39 - It had a thing you had to do
00:05:41 for you to
00:05:43 stay strong.
00:05:45 You used to take that brush and piece
00:05:47 whatever you wanted to piece.
00:05:49 Look at doing it right there.
00:05:51 [laughter]
00:05:53 [claps]
00:05:55 [laughter]
00:05:57 - Why did you choose that?
00:05:59 I want to know why you chose that.
00:06:01 - Because of Shorty.
00:06:03 - Shorty?
00:06:05 - Shorty, Ras Shorty.
00:06:07 - Back then it was Ras Shorty.
00:06:09 - Back then Shorty was king of the world.
00:06:13 - Smut.
00:06:15 - Well, you could say Smut.
00:06:17 - Smut is...
00:06:19 - Those were the calypsos that reigned.
00:06:21 I got picked,
00:06:23 Byron and myself,
00:06:25 got picked to sing in the original
00:06:27 Young Brigade tent,
00:06:29 which is in Rice and Road here,
00:06:31 where the review tent is now.
00:06:33 - Yeah, he was in 1972.
00:06:35 Byron started in '71.
00:06:37 When he was singing in Likshi.
00:06:39 And then after I came,
00:06:41 when I was singing in Electrician.
00:06:43 And in those days,
00:06:45 you had to sing all the little things,
00:06:47 all the smutty things.
00:06:49 - Yeah, because Shorty was king.
00:06:51 - That's so interesting because
00:06:53 how much of a decade later,
00:06:55 and it feels as though,
00:06:57 in order to be popular now,
00:06:59 or maybe not right this moment in time,
00:07:01 you had to sing a type of music.
00:07:03 You had to sing more wine-in,
00:07:05 you had to sing more drum-in,
00:07:07 you had to sing more certain topics.
00:07:09 It feels like it's just...
00:07:11 - Right now, yeah, you had to sing a wine-in thing.
00:07:13 But what could stop that?
00:07:15 What could stop all these things?
00:07:17 Wine-in every year, wine-in a world war.
00:07:19 See, a world war could start.
00:07:21 - Yes.
00:07:23 - Let me say,
00:07:25 what could stop all these things?
00:07:27 Let me say a world war start.
00:07:29 People want to hear a message,
00:07:31 people want to hear a solution.
00:07:33 - So why we need a war in order for that to happen?
00:07:35 - Well, the thing will stop then.
00:07:37 We'll continue with wine-in.
00:07:39 - So you're telling me people don't want to hear a message
00:07:41 unless they have a war?
00:07:43 - Unless a war, you see like Kim Jong,
00:07:45 throw a bomb in America,
00:07:47 people ain't going to want wine-in again.
00:07:49 People want to hear a solution.
00:07:51 They want a concert message like when Bob Marley
00:07:53 used to sing his sleuthing, you know what I'm saying?
00:07:55 - That.
00:07:57 - I might be wrong.
00:07:59 - I really, really hope you're wrong.
00:08:01 - I might be wrong, a world war could stop that.
00:08:03 That is what I believe, it's strong and crazy.
00:08:05 - Well, well, I mean,
00:08:07 I mean,
00:08:09 the hat fits.
00:08:11 You know, you know.
00:08:13 But we have to talk about your career,
00:08:15 you're celebrating your career.
00:08:17 You had a role, I saw a movie called,
00:08:19 was it Back Another Time?
00:08:21 - Back Another Time, yes, that is a movie I was in
00:08:23 what year was that?
00:08:25 - 1979.
00:08:27 - Shadow was in that movie too.
00:08:29 - Yes, he was, he was a tremendous movie.
00:08:31 But you were the ultimate hustler.
00:08:33 - Yes, but no,
00:08:35 that part that I played there,
00:08:37 Stuart Whitman was supposed to come down from America
00:08:39 and play that part, you know.
00:08:41 But he couldn't make it again because he had some other
00:08:43 movie to go and do.
00:08:45 So, the Camelodin,
00:08:47 they say, well, let me try Crazy.
00:08:49 And they tried me and they find I was playing the role good.
00:08:51 And that's when, in those days,
00:08:53 $5,000 was a lot of money.
00:08:55 - That's how much they paid for Back Another Time.
00:08:57 - Yeah, $5,000, it was a, wow,
00:08:59 I thank the lord of Timber.
00:09:01 $5,000 in them days,
00:09:03 I get that, they say,
00:09:05 we'll have five.
00:09:07 - If you've never seen that movie, Back Another Time,
00:09:09 you can go and, I think they're still selling it in certain
00:09:11 bookstores and things, they have it on sale.
00:09:13 - Yes, I have copies too, I could give, I will have.
00:09:15 - Hey, hey, it's not $5,000,
00:09:17 you'll have $5,000 done, I'm sure.
00:09:19 - Oh yeah, a long time.
00:09:21 - Coming back just now is Vintage Unplugged,
00:09:23 Ruckus, Kyle Peters, and
00:09:25 the lovable lunatic, Uncle Crazy, is here with us today.

00:12:25 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:12:32 All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're back.
00:12:35 Vincey Tunflug, 2019, we have it crazy.
00:12:37 Kyle Tito, your studio rocker.
00:12:39 And you see one of the songs people are always asking you for is In Time to Come.
00:12:44 Now that song, to me, I remember it was 2000 years ago.
00:12:48 >> 2000, 2000.
00:12:49 >> It was a pro.
00:12:50 >> Yeah, yeah.
00:12:51 You see, in 1999, a fella had a song, I can't remember who the fella.
00:12:57 But he was singing about all the things in 1999 that happened with Muhammad Ali,
00:13:01 the greatest, and he was talking about that.
00:13:04 So that is where the idea came.
00:13:05 >> He was talking about the past?
00:13:06 >> He was talking about the past.
00:13:07 >> Right. >> In that song.
00:13:09 So the idea was born there when I say, look, next year will be 2000.
00:13:13 So let me try and find something.
00:13:16 And well, the song was written by both Vince for the Vince,
00:13:20 with that great man who wrote Progress.
00:13:22 >> Yes, yes.
00:13:23 >> The song was did by both of us.
00:13:25 >> Okay.
00:13:26 >> But he played the main part, because I call him and I tell him, look,
00:13:29 you know, the American never had a black president.
00:13:32 You know, it's Uncle Rizzi at that time.
00:13:34 And he started writing one time.
00:13:37 He started writing one time.
00:13:39 But if you listen to the whole song, because the Khalifa have about 23 verses.
00:13:43 You know, in the tent we created, I think a record, with the most encores ever.
00:13:47 >> Yeah.
00:13:48 >> Yeah, because when I don't sing and they call me back, I sing the next verse.
00:13:51 So I keep adding on and adding on every day.
00:13:54 So it comes to years.
00:13:56 The Califsonians went to Jazzy Pantin, the manager of it, and I say,
00:13:59 look, all you're crazy singing too long.
00:14:02 The Califsonians were complaining.
00:14:04 Full house band, who wants to sleep and come back, and I still on the stage.
00:14:08 The crazy singing the song too long, so Jazzy tell me to try and cut it down.
00:14:11 But the people couldn't get enough of it.
00:14:14 >> And you know what I think about it, some of the things that you sung about
00:14:16 actually --
00:14:17 >> Yeah, actually come to pass.
00:14:18 >> Come to pass, like America's had a black president.
00:14:20 >> Not only that.
00:14:22 Not only that.
00:14:23 >> I know, but I'm saying that's one of the things I remember.
00:14:24 >> You know, look, something happened last year.
00:14:26 >> What was that?
00:14:27 >> The World Cup.
00:14:28 Team Africa will win the World Cup.
00:14:30 And look at that.
00:14:31 You know what?
00:14:32 It didn't happen, but France take Africans.
00:14:34 >> I was just about to say.
00:14:35 >> France won the World Cup and the whole team was Africans.
00:14:38 So look, team Africa win the World Cup there.
00:14:41 And look, not only that, when I said that a man will win Miss Universe, in Africa
00:14:47 again, a fellow dress up like a woman and lick them.
00:14:50 Can you remember that?
00:14:52 >> No.
00:14:53 >> I said in the same song, Trinbaga will have a woman prime minister.
00:14:56 >> Yes, you said that in the song as well.
00:14:58 I remember that.
00:14:59 >> It never happened before.
00:15:00 I was singing that when I sing that in Arima the opening night in the review tent,
00:15:04 Kichina died that same year.
00:15:06 And I say, in time to come, America will have a black president.
00:15:10 A black man will never reach so far.
00:15:15 People were doubting me.
00:15:17 A black man will never reach so far.
00:15:19 When you say a black man, I was in the mass ground, they put me in a little house for that too.
00:15:24 I was in the mass ground, mass should be placed, I am shadow.
00:15:27 They gave shadow in Krong.
00:15:28 They put me like eight.
00:15:30 Because maybe they said, crazy thing America will have a black president.
00:15:34 That will never happen.
00:15:35 So they put me here.
00:15:36 They have a right to apologize to me.
00:15:38 You know why?
00:15:39 When Obama came down here in 2009, there was a group of white people from all about.
00:15:46 They should have come and said, yeah, they should have said crazy.
00:15:50 This is the man who sang about you.
00:15:52 They didn't do that.
00:15:53 They bring people all over.
00:15:54 >> Because you're a prophet.
00:15:55 You kind of think it's about the nasong.
00:15:56 >> You go along, I sing it.
00:15:57 They give all kind of people national award, all kind of thing.
00:16:00 They never gave, look, you look there, they blah, I'm Ras Kamanda.
00:16:03 Give me a nice little award.
00:16:04 And I appreciate that so much.
00:16:05 You know why?
00:16:06 I never get anything.
00:16:07 >> For real?
00:16:08 >> No.
00:16:09 No.
00:16:10 >> You were one of the people like that, you transcend other generations.
00:16:15 >> I'm begging them.
00:16:16 >> You have transcended generations, right?
00:16:18 I mean, even if some of the young people, like, let me say, our generation, right?
00:16:22 That didn't know, let me say, didn't know all of them songs from before, right?
00:16:26 They had things like "End Time to Come," "Monsters," right?
00:16:29 But then you also have things like "Cool."
00:16:31 >> Look for the Christmas.
00:16:34 >> Look for the Christmas.
00:16:36 >> Yeah, yeah.
00:16:37 >> No, no, no.
00:16:38 Let me tell you how this thing happens.
00:16:40 >> Not only that.
00:16:41 We put in chutney, too.
00:16:45 Yeah.
00:16:46 Uno parata.
00:16:47 Alpa gata, alpa gata, uno rum, uno parata.
00:16:50 When the Indians hear that, they went crazy.
00:16:52 Yeah.
00:16:53 So that chutney, you're going to think, what's happening there?
00:16:56 >> Oh, my goodness.
00:16:57 All right.
00:16:58 I want somebody profit version of "Crazy."
00:17:00 >> Well, I may be able to give you a voice in a chorus.
00:17:03 >> That's all I can ask for at this time, you know.
00:17:05 That's all I can ask.
00:17:06 >> I will give you --
00:17:07 >> "End Time to Come," we can give you a voice.
00:17:09 >> I will give you a version of a song in Jamaica.
00:17:14 You know, I tell you, smoking weed, come on, let me sing that.
00:17:19 >> Because there's a height.
00:17:21 >> That's what I say.
00:17:23 Bob never sing them things yet.
00:17:25 He tell him to do that now.
00:17:27 >> Bob Carr sing them things?
00:17:28 Go ahead, Matthew.
00:17:29 >> Yes.
00:17:30 [ Music ]
00:17:39 >> Yesterday has come and gone.
00:17:42 >> You see, I don't know why I'm --
00:17:45 >> Yeah, I understand what you're saying.
00:17:48 >> What key is that?
00:17:51 Because we was in B flat.
00:17:53 >> So we have done that.
00:17:55 >> Yesterday has come and gone.
00:17:58 Leaving some of us to mourn.
00:18:01 Times we had and friends we lost.
00:18:04 And while they tear to kids' cause.
00:18:06 We have seen the many faces of slavery.
00:18:11 We have seen the British Empire fall.
00:18:16 We have seen Hitler's contribution to history.
00:18:22 We have seen the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall.
00:18:27 We have seen farming.
00:18:29 We have seen wars.
00:18:32 As you well imagine, we have seen nothing yet because.
00:18:39 >> In time to come.
00:18:40 >> America will have a gay president.
00:18:44 >> In time to come.
00:18:45 >> There's going to be an active world government.
00:18:49 >> In time to come.
00:18:50 >> The world will see human life cheaper than dirt.
00:18:54 >> In time to come.
00:18:56 >> Outer space aliens will land on the earth.
00:18:59 Team Africa will win the world cup.
00:19:02 Marijuana will raise your wish up.
00:19:04 Science will produce bread out of stone.
00:19:07 And then create the first human clone.
00:19:10 Technology will reach a new high.
00:19:12 Buses and cars will fly in the sky.
00:19:15 Sakmaraj will have a negro grandson.
00:19:18 >> In time to come.
00:19:20 >> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:23 That's all I remember.
00:19:28 >> I wasn't ready.
00:19:29 I wasn't ready for that.
00:19:31 >> It was predictions.
00:19:32 I come like a prophet.
00:19:34 I tell people that.
00:19:35 But I don't think that's happened yet, you know?
00:19:37 >> It didn't happen yet?
00:19:38 >> I think it happened.
00:19:39 It didn't happen yet.
00:19:40 >> A dober grandson.
00:19:41 >> A dober grandson.
00:19:42 >> Well.
00:19:43 >> I don't know.
00:19:44 Let me take a break.
00:19:46 At this moment in time, it would be more crazy to get me in trouble in time to come.

00:21:56 Welcome back inside Vintage Unplugged 2019.
00:21:59 Chrissy, we're trying to get you on the show since, since when, boy?
00:22:03 Since last year or year before?
00:22:05 >> Yeah, yeah, boy, but --
00:22:06 >> Why you didn't want to come on the show?
00:22:07 >> I didn't want to come because of the -- I'm not good at these kind of shows, boy.
00:22:11 >> Well, you're not good at talking?
00:22:13 What are you not good at talking?
00:22:14 >> Some people, you know, some people find I just talk too much stupidness.
00:22:18 You know, I went to a show in BBC in London, like, quite in the '70s.
00:22:23 And, you know, the way how they nearly fired the fellow, the fellow who was interviewing me, he nearly got fired.
00:22:29 Because he was asking -- he was asking me questions like, "Everybody in Trinidad crazy?"
00:22:34 I mean, they go ask Amanda, "What is the dominion of your prognosification?"
00:22:38 I say, "How the hell I go on?"
00:22:40 I ain't go to that school.
00:22:42 I started to talk all kind of stupid.
00:22:44 I say, "Coach, no, don't coach.
00:22:45 Buy that kid, coach him, and work on him.
00:22:46 I've got a box in the box shop."
00:22:48 Yeah, yeah, that people listening, the management, call him and say, "What foolishness is this?"
00:22:54 I was only on TV.
00:22:56 I say, "Well, it's he who's asking me foolishness."
00:22:58 >> So I have to answer stupidly.
00:23:00 >> Yes.
00:23:01 So I have to answer stupidly.
00:23:03 "What the hell is dominion of your prognosification?"
00:23:06 I don't want to --
00:23:07 >> He wanted to know where your head would be when you're writing your music.
00:23:12 That is what he was trying to ask, you know.
00:23:15 >> He should have asked it, too.
00:23:16 >> He should have asked it, too.
00:23:17 >> He should have asked it like that.
00:23:18 >> Whatever you do, whatever you do.
00:23:20 All right, so I heard a story once, and I don't know if it's true or not.
00:23:25 So I say, "As I have a man here, I can ask."
00:23:28 Now, if you're too personal, you can tell me.
00:23:30 >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead.
00:23:31 >> That would be good.
00:23:32 But you used to do drugs?
00:23:36 >> Me?
00:23:37 >> Yeah.
00:23:38 >> What do you mean?
00:23:39 I'm crazy?
00:23:40 You go ask crazy that?
00:23:42 When you think I'm so crazy?
00:23:45 >> I try.
00:23:46 I must try.
00:23:47 >> What do you try?
00:23:49 >> I try when they have cocaine in the tube.
00:23:54 I say, "I have to try this thing.
00:23:59 If you're crazy, I have to try it."
00:24:01 And I went and I took it.
00:24:03 In them days, they put it in your nose.
00:24:05 I never smoke it.
00:24:06 But in those days, that's when the notes started entering.
00:24:09 >> Right, right.
00:24:10 >> Everybody was --
00:24:11 >> That was cocaine and it was like crack or something?
00:24:12 >> No, it turned crack after.
00:24:14 >> Oh, okay.
00:24:15 >> In those days, it was cocaine.
00:24:18 >> Right, okay.
00:24:19 >> They used to have it in a straw.
00:24:21 And they used to have it in the powder form.
00:24:24 >> Right.
00:24:25 >> And you just put it in.
00:24:27 Yeah, and you got a nice head and you start laughing.
00:24:31 Yeah, that's what sent me crazy.
00:24:34 >> And when did you stop?
00:24:36 >> I tried.
00:24:37 I didn't stay long.
00:24:38 I didn't stay long.
00:24:39 About two days.
00:24:40 I do it and try to see.
00:24:42 >> And what did you see?
00:24:44 >> When I went in the glass and I look at my face, I see my face looking like a rich man kitchen.
00:24:48 I said, "Not me and that, boy."
00:24:50 A rich man kitchen.
00:24:51 It had two sinks in it.
00:24:53 [ Laughter ]
00:24:58 The place started going in, boy.
00:25:00 [ Laughter ]
00:25:03 I said, "This thing is for me."
00:25:05 And I done with that.
00:25:06 I went and I took a little marijuana and started smoking a little thing.
00:25:10 Yeah, I said, "This coke thing is not for me."
00:25:13 >> Okay, so you're still smoking marijuana.
00:25:15 >> Nah, man.
00:25:16 After all these years.
00:25:17 >> Check it out.
00:25:18 Just check it out.
00:25:19 >> We're going for 100 years.
00:25:20 >> All right.
00:25:21 >> Like I said, we're going for 100.
00:25:22 >> So that's what you did.
00:25:23 After you do cocaine, you do marijuana.
00:25:25 >> I do.
00:25:26 Yeah.
00:25:27 That's it.
00:25:28 That's it.
00:25:29 >> That's it?
00:25:30 >> I thought when I said I'd do it for like two or three days just to see what it's like.
00:25:33 That's not my thing.
00:25:34 I ain't that crazy.
00:25:35 >> And I hear that you used to drink.
00:25:39 >> Right.
00:25:40 >> You know what I mean?
00:25:41 Where you think it stopped me?
00:25:42 Where you think it stopped me from drinking?
00:25:43 >> I don't know.
00:25:44 >> You ever see a man lying down on the room shop floor with his mouth open, sleeping on
00:25:49 the ground and a little black dog peeing in his mouth?
00:25:51 A little black dog named Douglas.
00:25:54 >> You remember the dog, man?
00:25:57 >> If I see that dog, well, the dog died.
00:25:59 But if I see that dog now, well, mind it, home.
00:26:01 You know why?
00:26:02 That dog.
00:26:03 I even introduced that dog to my brother because he was a drinker, too.
00:26:06 >> See, he's there.
00:26:07 He don't pee in his brother's mouth.
00:26:08 >> He peed in my brother's mouth.
00:26:09 I stopped my brother from drinking.
00:26:12 You know, when we drink, when we drink, we use to do foolishness.
00:26:16 Take off all the clothes and mash up television.
00:26:19 >> So since that day, how long ago was that?
00:26:22 >> Years ago.
00:26:23 >> And you stopped drinking?
00:26:25 >> That's about 50 something years ago.
00:26:27 >> You stopped drinking or you stopped drinking so much?
00:26:29 >> Drink.
00:26:30 I don't drink pee, boy.
00:26:31 Drink now.
00:26:32 >> So how come you're still so crazy?
00:26:33 >> Eh?
00:26:34 >> You don't drink.
00:26:35 You don't do cocaine no more.
00:26:36 >> No, no, no, no, no.
00:26:37 I don't drink cocaine.
00:26:38 >> You're not actually crazy.
00:26:39 >> I don't drink cocaine, boy.
00:26:40 >> Music in your head.
00:26:41 >> Music, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:26:42 You see, when you reach a certain age, those things, you have a goal now.
00:26:45 You're going now for 100 years.
00:26:48 If you ask me what is my age, I wouldn't tell you.
00:26:50 I'd say 24 more.
00:26:52 I'll leave you with that.
00:26:53 >> Right.
00:26:54 >> 24 means Califsonians die at all like 90.
00:26:57 Some look bright now.
00:26:58 Burma is 92.
00:26:59 >> Yeah.
00:27:00 >> I want to be that.
00:27:01 And not only that, I have the perfect name.
00:27:03 >> Ah-Yung.
00:27:04 >> Ah-Yung.
00:27:05 If you want to make 100, I come like on this show, Ah-Yung!
00:27:08 People go like that.
00:27:09 People go love that.
00:27:10 >> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:11 >> 100 years, you're going to be Ah-Yung, you know.
00:27:13 So that's my goal to make 100.
00:27:15 So if you want to make 100, you can't smoke and drink and, nah.
00:27:19 >> You hear that, kids?
00:27:22 You want to live long.
00:27:24 >> If you want to live long like me, Ah-Yung.
00:27:26 I want to go on TV at 100 and say Ah-Yung.
00:27:28 So all you take my advice.
00:27:30 >> All right.
00:27:32 I'm going to give them some other advice now.
00:27:34 If you had to change profession from being a calypso,
00:27:38 do you think you could ever be a mechanic?
00:27:42 >> Well, not again.
00:27:44 Remember in that song I was a mechanic?
00:27:47 I can't be an electrician.
00:27:49 What is a good thing, what I might try is the church business.
00:27:55 I feel like I'm, you know, turning myself to God.
00:27:59 Go and start crazy for Jesus.
00:28:02 That crazy for Jesus thing in my mind, in the back of my head.
00:28:06 It's like how Tambo turned his life around.
00:28:09 I was watching that time on TV.
00:28:11 He's talking about how he won the street road matches and after that he changed.
00:28:16 I take note of that.
00:28:18 I said that is a very good thing that he did, you know.
00:28:22 And sometimes it has passed through my mind,
00:28:25 being, going and paying attention to God, doing a little more Godly things.
00:28:30 >> You're religious?
00:28:32 >> What? Crazy for Jesus.
00:28:34 Crazy, crazy, crazy for Jesus.
00:28:37 Jerry Meyer, Joshua Marcher never spoke.
00:28:42 That is a song that I have to sing.
00:28:44 The next one is I want to go to heaven, live this life without strife, live it nice.
00:28:49 Those songs in the making.
00:28:51 It ain't finished yet.
00:28:53 I want to go in that church and sing.
00:28:55 I see myself doing that.
00:28:57 >> I think that would be an interesting little thing.
00:28:59 >> It's like crazy for Jesus.
00:29:01 That's something in the making.
00:29:03 It's in my mind. It ain't happened as yet.
00:29:05 But it's in my mind.
00:29:07 I only hope God listens to me and says, "Yes, I'm going to change you from today.
00:29:10 Write a rocker show."
00:29:12 Though it could happen, these things happen.
00:29:15 Maybe God must be talking to me right now.
00:29:18 Maybe it could happen right here so all your tapes can be kept in the archives.
00:29:22 It could happen now.
00:29:24 >> Do you think you're waiting on the maker to change you?
00:29:27 >> I don't know, boy. I don't know.
00:29:29 There's two, three young girls.
00:29:31 I say it out of context?
00:29:33 >> No, I mean, is it true?
00:29:35 >> Is it true?
00:29:37 Pinky, Candace, all you, God, leave me alone, man.
00:29:40 [ Laughter ]
00:29:44 It's true. I'm trying to get away.
00:29:47 I'm trapped here.
00:29:49 I only hope God puts a change.
00:29:51 I only hope God does something.
00:29:53 I'm begging God, do something.
00:29:55 Young girls, oh, God, I fell apart on my phone card.
00:29:58 No.
00:30:00 No, I came here. I'm glad this happened to me.
00:30:04 >> Kyle, do you want to play something?
00:30:06 I can't go through this with you, crazy.
00:30:09 I can't. I can't.
00:30:11 [ Laughter ]
00:30:14 Hold on. Let me take it out to you.
00:30:16 This one is called "Drive It, Crazy."
00:30:18 Give it up. Give it up.
00:30:20 I'm sure you didn't know that crazy is a mechanic.
00:30:25 Any kind of motor, I could fix it.
00:30:30 Miss Alabi bring she car by me.
00:30:34 I don't know what wrong she say it ain't working properly.
00:30:38 But take a drive and see.
00:30:40 Take a drive and see.
00:30:43 A friend of mine recommend you was a good mechanic.
00:30:47 So drive it, come crazy, drive it.
00:30:52 Something inside shaking.
00:30:54 A bolt or screw must be missing.
00:30:56 Drive it, come crazy, drive it.
00:31:00 What she say?
00:31:01 I know you could fix it.
00:31:03 I know you could fix it.
00:31:05 So drive it, drive it, drive it.
00:31:11 Boom, ba-da.
00:31:14 I had to do my best like she had me on a test.
00:31:19 Turning corners like them racing drivers.
00:31:23 Up and down she had me going wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
00:31:28 She make me drive she car all over town.
00:31:31 Asking what is wrong, crazy, what is wrong?
00:31:36 A friend of mine recommend you was a good mechanic.
00:31:40 So drive it, come crazy, drive it.
00:31:45 Something inside shaking.
00:31:47 A bolt or screw must be missing.
00:31:49 Drive it, come crazy, drive it.
00:31:53 What she say?
00:31:54 I know you could fix it.
00:31:56 I know you could fix it.
00:31:58 So drive it.
00:31:59 The whole this song is crazy.
00:32:04 You should take a break, you should take a break.
00:32:06 After you drive it, I can fix you and Candace and them.
00:32:09 Drive the motor car to...
00:32:11 Oh sorry, I thought you was dropping them somewhere.
00:32:13 It was never that.
00:32:15 Shorty, they like that one.
00:32:17 It does this.
00:32:18 That is in 1981.
00:32:20 Come on, not this one.

00:35:29 Welcome to the Lyrics Corner.
00:35:31 This season, we feature the work of the Winston Bailey,
00:35:36 better known as The Shadow.
00:35:38 [MUSIC]
00:35:40 Today, we look at Columbus Live.
00:35:44 [MUSIC]
00:35:47 Columbus was a mighty sailor.
00:35:49 He sailed the open seas.
00:35:51 He went down in the Caribbean and called it the West Indies.
00:35:57 He said he found a new world and he expect me to believe.
00:36:04 But how could this new world be?
00:36:07 It's older than Adam and Eve.
00:36:10 Columbus lied.
00:36:12 Columbus lied.
00:36:15 He said he discovered America, the whole of America.
00:36:19 He never tell nobody how he had to run from Apache.
00:36:24 Columbus lied.
00:36:27 Columbus lied.
00:36:29 Columbus lied so bad, I believe that Columbus was mad.
00:36:35 The man with the Santa Maria was as brave as a man can be.
00:36:42 He sailed down to Venezuela for another discovery.
00:36:47 He said he discovered new lands and he thought that I wouldn't know.
00:36:54 He discovered a lot of Indians who discovered the lands before.
00:37:00 Columbus lied.
00:37:02 Columbus lied.
00:37:05 He took all the glory for many discoveries.
00:37:09 The truth of the story, those lands were discovered already.
00:37:16 Columbus lied.
00:37:19 Columbus lied and if you concentrate, you discover the man was late.
00:37:28 Nowadays, if you enter a strange land, they call you an alien.
00:37:33 You have to explain to immigration what is your intention.
00:37:39 Columbus didn't have to do that.
00:37:42 It just didn't make no sense.
00:37:46 His authority was a cork hat and his passport was violence.
00:37:53 Columbus lied.
00:37:56 Columbus lied.
00:37:58 He fooled everybody with a whole lot of fantasy.
00:38:01 I don't know why he did it.
00:38:03 Maybe he thought the Indians were spirits.
00:38:08 Columbus lied.
00:38:10 Columbus lied.
00:38:13 Columbus lied like hell.
00:38:15 I believe his head wasn't well.
00:38:20 You might think I don't like Columbus.
00:38:24 The truth is that you are right.
00:38:28 Though his name will always be famous, for me that man is a blight.
00:38:33 He discovered North America.
00:38:36 He discovered the Western Indians.
00:38:38 The same place they send me forefathers and subject them to slavery.
00:38:46 Columbus lied.
00:38:48 Columbus lied.
00:38:51 He said he discovered the whole of America.
00:38:54 He never tell nobody.
00:38:59 He had to run from Apache.
00:39:02 Columbus lied.
00:39:04 Columbus lied.
00:39:06 Columbus lied so bad.
00:39:10 I believe Columbus was mad.
00:39:15 Columbus lied.
00:39:26 All right, so that was the Lyrics Corner featuring the work of the mighty Shadow, Mihirath Dempsey.
00:39:33 And you know, Crazy, we kick around hunting a lot, but I really want to tell you that
00:39:42 I appreciate the work that you've done throughout the decades of your career.
00:39:47 Oh, yeah, thanks a lot.
00:39:49 And I think that a lot of people don't realize how much work you put out, how much work you keep putting out, you keep doing.
00:39:58 Because you know you're always fun and catching kicks and everybody can see it.
00:40:01 Oh, yeah, they do take me serious.
00:40:03 The editing, people do seem to take you seriously.
00:40:06 Crazy told me that, he said the reason why you never get a national award or a doctorate and all that is because people don't take you serious.
00:40:13 People just watch you as a kick man.
00:40:15 But I don't mind, you know, I'm doing my thing and I like what I do.
00:40:19 So don't forget me, you know, I'm doing national awards.
00:40:22 And the thing to me is like you could be fun, you could be yourself.
00:40:26 I love being fun.
00:40:27 But you could be all those things.
00:40:29 But I think that people still need to understand the value that you bring.
00:40:34 And that's part of the reason that we keep wanting you to come on the show.
00:40:37 We wanted to showcase the value that you as a musician, as a Calypsoanian, as a Soka artist, as all these things that you've been for our culture.
00:40:47 I mean, you start the Soka Parang.
00:40:50 You have men building whole careers on Soka Parang now alone.
00:40:54 Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
00:40:55 I mean, you could make a watch the Soka Parang.
00:40:57 A man could make like 300,000 from September to December.
00:41:04 Yeah, yeah.
00:41:05 A man could make an easy.
00:41:07 It's a whole industry by itself.
00:41:09 You understand?
00:41:10 And we have you to thank for that.
00:41:12 Not only that, after the Calypsoanian on those times, after the last Miami Carnival, which is the 8th of October.
00:41:19 After that, the singers had nothing to do.
00:41:22 October, November, we have nothing to do.
00:41:24 So all these months now, the Soka Parang is full of gap.
00:41:27 Yeah.
00:41:28 Well, now it's different because Soka starts from August.
00:41:31 We get new Soka and men coming up the road all the time.
00:41:33 Not only that, the Parang is a Parang in July now.
00:41:35 It's true.
00:41:36 Yes, the Parang in July.
00:41:37 So that thing, yeah.
00:41:38 So I'm doing Parang songs now, the last year.
00:41:41 Because I was in Aruba, not Aruba.
00:41:43 I'm waiting the plane in Aruba, Carnival time.
00:41:45 I'm Kenny J.
00:41:46 [singing]
00:41:49 But of course.
00:41:50 Yeah.
00:41:51 So Parang plane, Carnival, it's another season.
00:41:54 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:55 There's music.
00:41:56 Music is another season.
00:41:57 This one in Britain, Switzerland, I don't know.
00:41:59 That's a whole different conversation.
00:42:01 But I want to, I really want to let you know, I know people may not do it often enough.
00:42:06 And the powers that be for the watching, for the taking note, have some respect.
00:42:12 What is it?
00:42:13 The song Respect the Ella?
00:42:14 Respect, yeah.
00:42:15 Respect the Ella.
00:42:16 I don't know what wrong with this song.
00:42:17 Yeah, that's a party song.
00:42:19 I know it's a party song, but you think about Calypso and your music is that there's message in the kicks.
00:42:26 In between all the kicks, you can find a serious message.
00:42:28 What inspired that song?
00:42:30 I, as a 74-year-old man, 75-year-old man, a young girl, she's 15 years, just like what happened to Arrow Kelly or Bill Cosby.
00:42:38 That is not the same thing, but go ahead.
00:42:40 She came and she wanted to come by me and lie down with the bear.
00:42:43 I told her, "No."
00:42:44 I said, "If something should happen there and you go and tell it, you know what, that's the end of me."
00:42:48 Of course.
00:42:49 So that's why I said, "Look, let me sing about this thing."
00:42:51 But that's the truth?
00:42:53 That's the truth.
00:42:54 It's a true story.
00:42:55 A 15-year-old girl, they want experience and they trust me.
00:42:58 I told them, "No, I can't do that."
00:43:00 But you wouldn't have to teach your parents.
00:43:02 Yeah, but she don't mind.
00:43:04 You know why?
00:43:05 She'd just be in school with her little friends and maybe they would have a conversation about somebody.
00:43:10 I never kiss crazy.
00:43:11 Crazy's too old for that.
00:43:13 What crazy doing with a 15-year-old girl?
00:43:15 If you call her crazy, it interferes with her.
00:43:18 What happened to me?
00:43:19 That's the end of me.
00:43:20 No national award for you at all.
00:43:22 But that's the least of your concerns.
00:43:24 Jail!
00:43:25 Jail should be a major concern.
00:43:27 I don't know.
00:43:28 All right.
00:43:29 But you know, and then you could never be crazy for Jesus.
00:43:31 Ah, yeah, well, maybe I could try.
00:43:33 No, no.
00:43:34 Maybe I could try and say, "God, forgive me, please."
00:43:37 But I don't even want to ask for forgiveness.
00:43:40 At that point, at that--

00:52:34 [ Silence ]
00:52:38 [ Singing ]
00:52:41 >> Yeah, yeah.
00:52:42 >> And that year, apparently most of the singers came weak.
00:52:47 You see after certain times in a thing,
00:52:49 like in a 10 year period.
00:52:51 >> Yeah.
00:52:53 >> It was a period where all the singers just come weak.
00:52:56 You know? Looked like in 2007 most of the singers came weak.
00:53:01 It was only me, I had cold sweat.
00:53:03 But why not?
00:53:05 But the rest of the singers, nobody has anything.
00:53:07 >> That was the same year as Palaz?
00:53:10 >> I think, yeah.
00:53:12 Yeah, most of the singers came weak.
00:53:13 >> No, but I understand what you're saying.
00:53:15 I understand what you're saying.
00:53:16 Because every so often, you feel like the music not as potent
00:53:19 as it was before.
00:53:20 >> It's like this year, we have some bumper songs and things.
00:53:23 >> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:53:24 >> Because she knocking on the door a long time, all right.
00:53:26 >> Yeah, now they're out there.
00:53:27 >> So, yeah, she was out there.
00:53:28 This year have a nice, it start off nice.
00:53:30 >> Yeah.
00:53:31 >> Yeah, yeah.
00:53:32 But sometimes, sometimes a year will come that most
00:53:35 of the songs are not weak.
00:53:37 It happens.
00:53:39 >> It happens.
00:53:40 And that was one of the years?
00:53:41 >> One of the years.
00:53:43 And then again, it have years where like in 1979 was one
00:53:45 of the strongest years.
00:53:46 Everybody, everybody come good.
00:53:48 Yeah, it have some years.
00:53:50 >> And you won or something.
00:53:51 >> I studied this thing.
00:53:52 I studied this thing for years.
00:53:54 Everybody came good.
00:53:55 It didn't have a bad song.
00:53:56 >> All right.
00:53:58 So, it was '85?
00:53:59 What year was that?
00:54:00 That was when you and you did the match?
00:54:01 >> 1985.
00:54:03 >> '85, right?
00:54:04 >> Yeah.
00:54:05 >> You run away with everything?
00:54:07 With the, with the.
00:54:08 >> Well, Stalin won because both of us were singing
00:54:10 in the review, Kitchener's Tent.
00:54:12 That was on a, it was a spectacular on the street.
00:54:15 >> Right.
00:54:16 >> Stalin won the Kronk that year
00:54:17 and I won the road match in 1985.
00:54:20 >> Give me the tune now.
00:54:21 Let me go home with the tune.
00:54:23 Let me sing the tune and get out of here.
