Santa Claus was there and he gave him the unfortunate news. He found out the hard way, when he went home to collect something that he forgot. Is it really fair for naughty people to receive gifts on Christmas Day? Is Santa Claus’ list really effective if presents for the bad behaved ones are under the tree? If more people were like Pong, we would not have any issues on the big day. Lyrics: Island Lyrics | Put Jesus in Your Christmas (Crazy) 6. And the best way to do that is to put Jesus in our Christmas.Ĭame down here to save us from wickedness and chaos. Put Jesus in Your Christmas is a catchy and lyrically rich song that urges us to remember that Jesus is the reason why we celebrate. Crazy is doing his part to make sure that you do not forget why we celebrate Christmas. In the midst of decorations shopping for gifts and pulling down the house only to put it back up again, many people lose sight of the true meaning of the season. Not for a day or season but for a little bit longer. It is a soothing and sultry tune that examines the joys of the Christmas season and puts what we’ve all thought at some point in time into focus. Why Can’t This Christmas Feeling Go On is no different. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the Christmas feeling all throughout the year? Barbadian calypsonian Brian “Bumba” Payne, is known for his insightful social commentaries that are designed to make you think. Why Can’t This Christmas Feeling Go On? (Brian “Bumba” Payne) Joyously sing of the news we have to tell!” 4. However, this Caribbean adaptation injects rich beats and infectious parang to make this one of the best Christmas songs ever sung. With big tunes under his belt like Teaser and Small Pin, Calypso Noel is a glorious spin on the Christmas classic by Johnny Mathis. Becket is a Vincentian treasure who has been in the music business for over forty-five years. If you know Caribbean music, then you know that any song by Becket is sweet hit. Lyrics: Stefan Walcott | Maizie (Red Plastic Bag) 3. When he confronted her and cast doubt that it was Santa Clause because he did not see the reindeer or the sleigh, she replied, When he got home late on Christmas Eve night, he saw her kissing him right outside the gate and under the mango tree. From what he tells us, his wife was having an affair with Santa Claus. The Red Plastic Bag (lovingly known as “De Bag”) boldly went where no one has gone before. It takes a masterful lyricist to tell a story of how Santa Claus was his wife’s outside dude. Lyrics: Island Lyrics | Drink a Rum (Lord Kitchener) 2. “Drink a rum and a punch a crema, drink a rum ĭrink a rum and a punch a crema, drink a rum ĭrink a rum and a punch a crema, drink a rum.” A few years ago, the lyrics of the song were used in a jingle to encourage safe drinking during the holiday season. Sung by Lord Kitchener, one of the finest calypsonians in the world, Drink a Rum is a popular refrain throughout the Caribbean at Christmas time. This is a classic Caribbean Christmas song that highlights the presence of liquor in the holiday season. The songs that make my list of must listen Caribbean Christmas songs, are from singers and songwriters in Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, and St. The beat of the music is like no other and the lyrics are familiar and speak of situations that I know. I’m not a fan of Dolly Parton or Kenny Rogers’ Christmas songs, but I would readily listen to holiday tunes from my favourite Caribbean artistes.
However, this year, I started listening to Caribbean Christmas songs in November and now I am sharing them with you. Then, Christmas activities kick into high-gear and Christmas delicacies follow swiftly behind. Then, Christmas music comes in on the 1st December, right after independence day in Barbados. I usually start watching Christmas movies in October (even though I started in April, thanks to COVID-19). And, because I live in the Caribbean, I can enjoy the glorious mix of traditions, which make the holiday season memorable. For me, Christmas movies and music are the icing and decorations on the cake that make the season feel just right. There is something about catchy holiday beats that signal Christmas is here. It’s not Christmas unless I hear my favourite Caribbean Christmas tunes. These are some of my Caribbean Christmas songs that will put a pep in your step for the holidays. If you can’t get to the Caribbean, you have to bring the Caribbean to you. Are you missing Christmas in the Caribbean this year? Have no fear.
