"I'm Sorry" is a song written and recorded by American country-folk singer-songwriter #JohnDenver and released in 1975. It was the final number-one pop hit released during his career. The flip side of "I'm Sorry" was "#Calypso", and, like its A-side, enjoyed substantial radio airplay on #Top40 stations. "I'm Sorry" is an apology for forsaken love. In the lyrics, the singer's love interest has left him and he's still broken up about it weeks later.

"To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide and free as a wind swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be
Aye, Calypso, the places you′ve been to
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well"
"Jump in the Line (Shake, Senora)" is a #calypso song composed by #LordKitchener and best known from a version recorded by vocalist #HarryBelafonte in 1961.

"Jumbie Jamberee" is a #calypso song credited to Conrad Eugene Mauge, Jr. In 1953 #LordIntruder released the song as the B-side to "Disaster With Police". The song is also known as "Zombie Jamboree" and "Back to Back". The introduction to the #KingstonTrio's version humorously credits "#LordInvader and his Twelve Penetrators" with authorship of the song instead of Lord Intruder. The oldest versions of the song refer to a #jumbee jamboree.

"Calypso" is a song written by #JohnDenver in 1975 as a tribute to #JacquesYvesCousteau and his research ship, the #Calypso. It was featured on Denver's 1975 album #Windsong. Released as the #Bside of "#ImSorry", "Calypso" received substantial airplay, enabling it to chart on the #Billboard Hot 100. After "I'm Sorry" fell out of the #1 position, "Calypso" began receiving more airplay than "I'm Sorry," thus causing Billboard to list "Calypso" as the #newAside.

The Big Bamboo (A Ribald Calypso)

A very low-brow but very fun #Calypso record gets last spin of the night.
When I bought this from a bargain bin a few years ago, I must admit I did so because there was a big cartoon cock and balls on the cover wearing a hat with a bird on it.
The title is fairly accurate. These songs are absurd, bizarre, & filthy, and not so thinly veiled. In fact, the opening song, “The Big Bamboo” is just one huge dick joke, set to light and airy tropical fare.
There’s also a song about flies who shit everywhere. 
A very entertaining record, and 100% APE APPROVED, due to my 12 year old sense of humor.
That being said, find somebody else to describe “My Pussin” to you.
