[@beyoncetyratina]

It's so wonderful to hear their voices :D It was idiotic of me to stop listening to their songs. Love their harmonic voices!

[@bobbieandrews7032]

Wonderful Game and all the music is so wonderful and beautiful

[@lwellsnyc]

I DO love this, too! Philip Azzollini and Tim Hunter did this at Maxene's Memorial in NYC - and through all the tears it brought so many smiles! Maxene would have LOVED it....

Laverne was about 33 there. Unbelievable. She looks about 22. Real class!!!

[@jppicur]

More talent here than in all of pop music in 2020.

[@lescobrandon3047]

Three voices with 100 percent identical harmony. How did they do that?

[@italia689]

Sibling genetics. Just listen to other sibling groups; you will see what I mean.

[@RichardJonesArtist]

What a gem - from start to finish - a flawless diamond!

On beautiful tropical Trinidad Isle Where Caribbean breezes play The quaint little natives will greet you And smile as they welcome you this way As they welcome you this way Upon the isle I'm from which we come We have a national characteristic Which is very strong Because we put the accent upon a wrong syllable And we sing a tropical song Upon the isle I'm from which we come The point of interest beside the coconuts Is that we put the accent upon the wrong syllable And we sing a tropical song We could show the natural wonders of the scenery to you We could show the native birds and perhaps give two or three to you And describe the climate and also tell the elevation We could very hastily introduce the population We could show you the hotel and the need of places We could take you to the bar and visitors may fall upon their faces If only we had a track we could probably take you to the races But we prefer to accquaint you with the following interesting fact That on the isle I'm on from which we come We have a national characteristic Which is very strong And if you should remain here You will discover one peculiar thing Before very long That you have put the accent upon the wrong syllable And you sing a tropical song And so we say welcome to you

[@irenekent4335]

well that bought a smile to my face great way to start the day

[@Paladingrad1992]

My grandparents had the original record of this. I never could understand exactly what they were saying, but this version along with the video made it understandable, Thanks for posting.

The funny lead sister the blonde is Patty Andrews luv'd her humor and energy.

[@remytronixx]

lol so cute, i love music from the 40's :]] thanks for posting it!

[@natashiepoo]

The andrews sisters do this song wonderfully, but hey weren't the first to sing this. It was first preformed at the beginning of happy go lucky 1943, starring mary martin, dick powell, betty hutton, and eddy bracken.

[@matthook6251]

On beautiful tropical Trinidad isle, where Caribbean breezes play. The quaint little natives will greet you and smile, as they welcome you this way. As they welcome you this way. Upon the island from, which we come, We have a national characteristic which is very strong. Because we put the accent upon the wrong syllable, and we Sing A Tropical Song. Upon the island from, which we come, The point of interest besides the coconut and the sarong, Is that we put the accent upon the wrong syllable, and we Sing A Tropical Song. We could show the natural wonders of the scenery - to you. We could show the native birds and perhaps give two or three - to you. And describe the climate and also tell the elevation, We could very hastily introduce the population. We should show you the hotel and many of the fascinating places. We could take you to the bar where visitors may fall upon the faces. If we only had a track, we could probably take you to the races. But we prefer to acquaint you with the following interesting fact. That on the island from which we come we have a national characteristic which is very strong. And if you should remain here, you will discover one peculilar thing, Before very long That you have put the accent upon the wrong syllable And you Sing A Tropical Song And so we say welcome - To you

Dominic Martinelli yes that's my country Trinidad and Tobago! Land of the steelpan, calypso, limbo and world's most famous Carnival!

[@Rodin99]

I wonder if they understood their popularity with baby boomers...if as the writer below says Patty couldn't understand why this is his favorite. I love Hold Tight which I listened to on 78s of my father's. I still have this and others of theirs but no 78 player.

[@lindamahony8179]

the quaint little natives?! Oh no....

[@inventions178]

I mean they didn't think of that back then. Also, it aint that offensive of a line

[@contemplativegaze1839]

@@inventions178 well, according to the lyrics the natives 'primary role is to entertain Americans.. Imagine the song sung in Chinese and the quaint little natives are not Caribbean but Americans.

[@jourwalis-8875]

Very racistic!
