A lovely man and a familiar face during so many memories of mirth from carry on's to up Pompeii - sad he has passed but glad he had a good long life. I was very saddened however by BBC R4's news piece on his passing in which they said "Though We cant include his Calypso songs...almost certainly unbroadcastable today". who on earth is behind such mad political correctness?! who on earth could find this offensive! what about sting singing in a west indian accent in the police? amounts to the same. what a sad world...R.I.P Lance :-)

It really is pathetic how the BBC has become the most racist discriminatory bigoted organisation in the UK. It says its most famous comedies are no longer "POLITICALLY CORRECT" - how soon before some useless jobsworth at the Beeb says that "Dads Army" is an insult to the wartime Home Guard and also that it offends senior citizens (who used to be called "old people" but that too is now POLITICALLY INCORRECT) and the recordings must be wiped in case some presenter inadvertently offends a wrinkly old fool (like me). The Beeb also cannot show an old series about a family of unemployed scroungers in Liverpool because it might offend the unemployed, and it cannot show an old series about a scrap merchant and his son because it portrays the father as mean and selfish, and the animal rights people will complain about the obvious "cruelty" in the use of a horse to drag a cart around in all the city traffic and fumes and pollution. However, the BBC did not mind employing a high profile serial paedophile called Jimmy Saville.

Indeed - though i guess the fact the song is about a man falling in love with women in his family is incestuous is perhaps what they implied - however most would not know that from a burst on the radio and as the song was written out in the west indies in 1943 i hardly see how it matters!

Lance Percival was a great entertainer, and those who remember TW3 (That Was The Week That Was) will recall his very clever spontaneous calypsos in response to ideas from the audience. As michael1608 commented a year ago in relation to this song, "Well, I am from Trinidad and I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the truth of this...." and there is something in what he says. Promiscuity, or whatever word one wishes to use, was actively encouraged by the plantation owners in the Caribbean as a cheap and easy means of increasing the number of slaves in their ownership, and this became so much a part of life that still today it is perfectly normal and acceptable for someone to have multiple partners. (On a personal note, one of my friends in Jamaica has five children by five different fathers, but she is a perfectly respectable lady, goes to church every Sunday, is kind and caring, tender and loving with her children, and isn't the slightest bit ashamed. And neither should she be, she's a fine woman whom anyone would be proud to know.) For an academic view on this and other issues, a good starting point would be Orlando Patterson's "The Sociology of Slavery", but there are many other academic texts that would support Patterson's observations. In short, we all laugh along with Lance Percival at the amusing "truth" of this song, (and why not?) but there's no case for being judgemental about it, we can just accept the wonderful diversity of human society.

This happy song was in the charts the time I left school and recall it being played on the BBC Light programme along with Tom Jones, What's New Pussycat. Such was the variety of hits in the 60s. Both songs give me an image of the firm I worked in. And a world were stress was unheard of, we still had job demarcation. The old currency that we had since the reign of Henry V111, seemed to go further in everyday expenses. The last 20 years have proved those brought up in the 1950s 60s and 70s had a much more settled life than those born later.

Woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family In Trinidad there was a family With much confusion as you will see There was a mama and a papa and a boy who was grown He wanted to marry and have a wife of his own He met a young girl who suited him nice He went to his papa to ask his advice His papa said, "Son, I have to say no That girl is your sister but your mama don't know" Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family A week went by and the summer came down And soon another girl on the island, he found He went to his papa to name that date His papa shook his head and this time he did say "You can't marry this girl, I have to say no That girl is your aunty but your granny don't know Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Now, he went to his mama and covered his head He told his mama what his papa had said His mama, she laughed, she said, "Go man, go Your daddy ain't your daddy but your daddy don't know" Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family Hey, woe is me, shame and scandal in the family
