Steel drums make my ears bleed, a right old bloody din.

@ucme -You’re right. :D
I have heard this song done with steel drums but there is none in this version that I can hear & it sounds great.Go ahead, click, dance too, I know you will:

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille That was kinda ok, not enough to make me dance but my foot tapped a little.

@ucme -Both or just one?
That could be a rhumba.
Apparently, pants aren’t required. Lol!

Just one, the other would have but thought that a bit extreme & besides I have a touch of cramp in my lil pinky.

A little goes a long way. It’s fun to listen to, but not all the time.

Seriously, if I step off the plane in the Caribbean & the locals greet me with a garland of flowers & a burst of steel drums, i’d risk deportation & wrap the things around their necks.
Bit like Oliver Hardy in Horns.

@ucme – It could be worse.If you land in Alaska, you get hugged by a sasquatch.
My friend who swears he saw one told me that.

@lucillelucillelucille Sasquatch?
So that song you posted, I bet he tapped his big foot.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme -He tapped both feet and that is how earthquakes happen.
As for my friend, he lived in a “dry” town In Alaska and swore he saw the Hairy Man one day rummaging in a dumpster.

I like the music of Harry Belafonte.
What I really don’t much care for is hip hop. How does it manage to get classified as music?
