Hey guys! At seven PM Eastern, join me on #GenesisRadio in the #PiscesPlayhouse for some #comedy and #novelty songs! I'll have the #PiscesPicnicTable and #Fishtank segments, plus the songs and skits I couldn't play last week because I lost power, plus some #requests from listeners, and I'll be glad to take your requests too. We'll be going until ten Eastern, so feel free to make them. If I don't play what's in the play list this week, there's always next week. Ask Alexa to open #GetMeRadio or #MyTunerRadio and play #GenesisRadio or go here to listen with your favorite media player or browser.

LORD JELLICOE
The Big Bamboo (A Ribald Calypso)
1965 Jamaica pressing

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.

I mean, I suppose there’s no other answer other than “because of the white people”?

This is the biggest load of #dogshit ever committed to tape, even for back then. Every bit of plastic used to produce this tripe would have been better used someplace else.

John Wayne was MAYBE the biggest racist, homophobe AND misogynist to have ever lived. He was also the biggest false idol “actor” not named Bill Cosby.

This record is as bad as I thought.
I want my .25 back.

A quotation from Josh Billings
