In 1975 I worked on large ships and was in the Caribbean for a long time. It was with this song that I met my first love in Panama City. We were together for over 2 years. Then cancer took my love away from me. Even after 45 years, I have not forgotten you.

SOME TRIVIA: The lyrics of this song was originally written by Lord Invader (a Trinidadian) who got the melody with permission from a fellow Trinidadian. They later went on to win a plagiarism lawsuit against Morey Amsterdam for copyright infringement of both the music and lyrics. When Amsterdam visited Trinidad, the original song written by Lord Invader was in heavy circulation as a hit locally in Trinidad. He returned to the U.S. and claimed to have written this song for The Andrews Sisters some time after. He retained copyright for the song, but was ordered to pay royalties to Lord Invader. The first version of this song that I ever heard was by Julio Iglesias entitled "Ron y Coca Cola."

[@xXHerrZockXx]

That gus name was lord invader? Now thats impressive.

[@ariellebrowne]

@@xXHerrZockXx yh that was his stage name. He was a calypsonian

[@owensclock]

"The Complete Encyclopedia of Popular Music and Jazz 1900-1950(Volume 1)" published in 1974 list Morey Amsterdam,, Paul Baron and Jeri Sullivan as the writers of "Rum and Coca Cola" but they apparently missed the rest of the story!

When this song first came out it was banned on the BBC, not because it told about Trinidadian women selling themselves for the 'Yankee Dollar', but because it mentioned the words 'Coca Cola', and of course advertising a commercial product was absolutely forbidden on the Beeb!

[@glenmatthes8839]

The Kinks had to change the lyrics for Lola for the same reason. That's why the drink tastes like "cherry cola" in the official release, but they always said "coca cola" in live performances.

[@muffs55mercury61]

@@glenmatthes8839 From what I understand Coca Cola was not consented about having their name on the song but in 1944 it wasn't such a big deal like it is now. They looked at it as a form of free advertising. I didn't know about the Kinks initially using it in "Lola" so I learned something new. By 1970 the rules were very different.

[@patriciajrs46]

That's funny.

[@mxbx307]

The BBC still doesn't really allow product placement even now. Even things like Red Bull are described as "energy drink" and the can is deliberately held or placed a certain way to hide the branding, even if a viewer can recognise the back of it etc.

"Loved" them just to rent their personalities and bodies (and those of their hapless young daughters) for a night (thus reducing their price on the bride market)? Or enough to marry them? Are you half Trinidadian? This song, albeit melodic and slyly catchy, celebrates, morally winks at exploitation of the financially needy as prostitutes, which makes their "clients" flesh merchants. Not the highest moral level. Did your mother and sister "work for the Yankee dollar" renting their sexuality? This undermines the "good guy" American G.I. archetype.

[@lcmay5562]

Got this vinyl over 40 years ago and I still play it

[@davidhunter548]

Terrific performance of a great song. One peculiar fact about this song is that it was banned from being played on BBC radio, not because it appeared to approve of the apparent prostitution by the local mothers and daughters 'working for the 'Yankee Dollar', but because it named a commercial drink in the lyrics - Coca Cola.

The Same Happened with "Lola" by The Kinks, till they changed the lyrics to "Cherry Cola"!

This was "rap" for me, a teen, in 1944. Loved it then, more so now.

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Forget this 2019 stuff. This music will last forever.

My Father said that he first heard this onboard a ship heading to the Guam invasion played by Tokyo Rose. He said that after the song she said who do you think is drinking rum and coke with your girlfriend back home.

Back in the late 70s we were playing at a local bar and there was an all girl band and they sang this song. They did an amazing job on it I’ll never forget standing there listening to them. I’m not sure but I think their name was something like the paper dolls or something like that. This bar was in San Lorenzo California. It’s gone now used to be called the Alpen Glow.

[@MissMozzyDee]

The Satin Dollz perhaps?

[@doctorstrange2642]

Is prostitution still a problem?

[@kevindavis84]

Trini here. Alot of us who know the island's history know this song. The original was written by Belasco and Lord Invader and sung by Lord Invader. This version was claimed to be the original written by Morey Amsterdam until a lawsuit was brought against them by Invader.

@@doctorstrange2642 Nah it's doing fine.

[@johnnylongchallon740]

[@otto8049]

Reminds me of my father and mother enjoying peace time after the war that separated them.

[@georgiawilliams2657]

I was born in 1941. My dad loved the Andrew Sisters. I grew up listening to them.
