I had a cassette tape back in 1987 with a bunch of different Soca artists on it, but this was the only song I ever remembered. No idea where the tape is now, but this video just made my day.
awwwwwww.....how cuteeee......btw is it just me or do machel still have the same head to bodysize ratio today as he did in this one looool....luv machel but di man have a big mfin head :P
wow I am in tis video and did not know it was on you tube any one at saparia boys rc at the time of the video 1985 or any one who knows any onefrom this time period please contact me my grand mother was the black janitor at the school remember there were two one indian and one black man those were the days I am showing all my friends me in the video,I am the one towards the end with his finger pointing up funny I still do that today still yep the finger dance lol
The sheer innocence of youth and what a performer. I remember this song as if it were yesterday. He actually sang this at the Dimanche Gras show wearing a diaper. He was indeed the Michael Jackson of Trinidad's Calypso/soca. Alhough wine and Jam is now the order of the day and is now part of machel's repertoire, he will always be affectionately remembered for this one calypso/soca which propelled him to stardom a la Michael Jackson. Sweet memories indeed. Check out the math for a nine year old..
@halberdierv2 i did!!! for the life of me, i can't remember at what show or when though but he didn't do the entire song and we all loved the bit that he did.
look how far d boy dun gone..now he in his thirtys....boi did dun gave trindad sum smiles boi..i glad to see how far he dun get..ppl dun mackow too much n dey made d boi think he culdnt but d boi did and he believed in he self ....wi!!!!!
OMG! i feel so old watching this. Machel is so cute here.Brings back alot of memories damn! Akeemds u are spoiling us here in Trini with this video...thanx :)
1982...I wasn't even a year yet when this song came out! I can't wait for Caribana here in Toronto. It still not the same as Carnival in Trinidad though!!!!
He's like a caribean micheal jackson except without the brothers, child molestation, contreversy, skin dying, and plasitc surgery, and all of machels music is good. LOL
I'm from new york but my mom is from trinidad. she always used to say that when she was really young, she was doing the math I was doing in high school. I didn't quite believe it until I saw this vid. And mind you, I was in honors classes.
He was nine when he did this song and won the Juniour calypso king content that year. & Yes that is the kind of math taught in school at that age; by the time we leave secondary school we are already doing Trig and Calculus. I breezed through college with one arm tied behind my back because I'd already done most of the work in high school!
wow, i remember when my grandmother came up from Trinidad and brought me this album as a gift. She said he performed it in a diaper. That was a looooong time ago.
If you are Trini and don't know ......then you're too young. I remember him on Auntie Kay, I also remembe all the trash people were spouting at the time. Go to the archives and look it up.
That song is amazing. I love the part with the old folks handlin' dey business... Trinidad & the West Indies on a whole for life ladies and gentlement
This tune holds memories. I heard it first the first time i was blessed to visit the caribbean, then i had the pleasure of seeing the man himself perform it in Dominnica's world creole festival 2005. Brilliant!!
i am honored to be the first one to comment on this video!! classic one! thanks for posting it! i'm sure many will be very happy to find it on youtube!
