50+ Music<p>"I'm Sorry" is a song written and recorded by American country-folk singer-songwriter <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/JohnDenver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JohnDenver</span></a> and released in 1975. It was the final number-one pop hit released during his career. The flip side of "I'm Sorry" was "<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Calypso" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Calypso</span></a>", and, like its A-side, enjoyed substantial radio airplay on <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Top40" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Top40</span></a> 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. <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkHoGuuYpCA" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=DkHoGuuYpCA</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

The Vinyl Ape 🦧

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.
