The depth of music you have listened to is amazing.

Wetin concern me with Mighty Sparrow if not for this post?

I know some songs from the oldies- Teddy P, Bill Withers, Grover Washington Jr, Lou Rawls.

But not this deep.

Do you have any knowledge on Pm dawn?

Underrated group and forerunners of emo rap and that drake sound in my view.

Thank you.

Yes, I remember when PM Dawn became popular. They sampled Bonita Applebum and they were on the Boomerang soundtrack.

I can remember when, I caught up
With a past-time intimate friend, she said
"Bet you're probably gonna say I look lovely
But you probably don't think nothing of me"

She was right, though, I can't lie
She's just one of those corners in my mind
So I just put her right back with the rest
That's the way it goes, I guess

I love the way they played with words. Remember Tribe Called Quest's 1989 hit "Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on"?

Christina Applegate, you gotta put me on

So I stared at the ring finger on her hand
I wanted her to be a big P.M. Dawn fan
But I had to put her right back with the rest
That's the way it goes, I guess

Here's another one from the Boomerang soundtrack.


The first video has crystal clear audio, the second video has the acapella version and the third is the original video.

THIS IS THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL CALYPSO ANTHEM

The Mighty Sparrow mentioned Lord Kitchener as one of the calypso singers that existed before him and Wikipedia said that Lord Kitchener made calypso popular in the UK.

Well, Lord Kitchener has what is probably the most popular calypso song ever in Nigeria. I saw President and Mrs Babangida dance to this song live on national TV, it was played at parties, inter-house sports, on radio & TV and everywhere. Police, military and other bands performed it at ceremonies and on the streets. It was that popular.

I had the vinyl record at home. It had the regular and instrumental versions on one side and songs by Calypso Rose on the other.

It is also one of my favourite songs of all time.

Look at the dates of the first 7 posts on this thread.

FatherLord:
If you swallow this it shows how gullible you are. Can you not see that this is damage control ? Now that you have painted only this guy black are you now saying gbaja and Tinubu administration is white ? . It takes two to tango young man

This guy is an example of what I mean. Read his post, then go and look at the date of the first post, then have a good laugh.

Oh, so this Dshocker fellow is one of the jobless people that mentions my username for no reason?

It's not a new thing, let's see how long he can keep doing it. All those that started gave up after less than a month.

In the meantime he has gone into my blocked list.

🤣 That one is quoting someone that was last on Nairaland in 2024 and asking her a question.

Can you imagine that?

I've always said that these people are only good for entertainment.
