OLDIES SUNDAY (Christmas): The MerryMen – Drink A Rum (1974)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s December, and that means it’s Christmas time! No matter what has been happening in the year, we all look forward to this holiday season. With the holidays come time off for the schoolers, and for the older crowd it’s party time in every way, or an extra payday. For today’s Oldies Sunday selection, we head over to Barbados, who just celebrated their Independence Day, to check out The Merrymen’s version of, “Drink A Rum“.

Produced by The Merrymen for Merry Disc and released in 1974, “Drink A Rum” is a cover version of Trini Calypso legend Lord Kitchener’s 1959 track of the same name. The Merrymen group, which is consisted of 5 members, all performed the track, blending harmonies and instruments for a song that celebrated the drinking part of the holiday season. Rum in various forms are consumed, and they are sure to bring the joy, warmth into the chilly time, and “kick” into the joyous occasions. While the original “Drink A Rum” was a popular Calypso song, their version did well in Barbados, throughout the Caribbean, and other parts of the world, and became a song that enjoyed radio airplay around the Christmas season. The track was released on their 1988 Christmas album, “Caribbean Christmas Party“. The group have been enjoying a considerable amount of fame, and they performed the song on the road.

Stay tuned for another Christmas classic on “Oldies Sunday”!

New York-based Rapper/Educator Chip Fu of the legendary Fu-Schnickens is making a return to the music in a major way. Having taken himself away from the limelight for quite some time, and is returning to the scene with new energy. With a new EP on the way, he’s gearing up with, “Like Us“.

Co-Produced with Bird On The Beat Productions, Chip Fu returns to the scene with an ode to the Boom Bap era. Kicking off a crazy series of flows, the MC takes listeners back to the days when FU-Schnickens shook the world with their unique sound, and Chip is keeping the fire burning. Accompanying the track is a Music Video directed by Owlman Productions, and it finds Chip exhibiting that style that makes him an MC who went toe to toe with the best of them. The video also previewed a follow up track, and paid homage to his Trini and Bajan background.
