LYRICSVerse 1
The Calypso music started - From
deep down inside
Something like ah burning fire - For
we to survive
Oh Oh Oh - Oh Oh - For the love of
the music, yeah
God Bless the Ras Shorty I - For
Soca was born
He was on a mission - For the
Carnival to live on
Oh Oh Oh - Oh Oh - For the love of
the music, yeah
We are energy - This is we legacy -
We destiny
It’s in all ah we – Come let the
whole world see
Let the whole world see
Chorus
When music
enter - yuh soul - You could never
let it go
We feel it inside we bones - Is
something we can’t control
This thing have me crazy - This
thing have me crazy
This thing have me crazy - This
thing drive me crazy
I can never let it go - When the
music start to flow
This thing have me crazy - This
thing have me crazy
Verse 2
The spirit
of soca music - will live on and on
Uniting all different races -
together as one
Oh Oh Oh - Oh Oh - For the love of
the music
Super Blue
carry the mantle - Ah king in his
rights
Machel, Bunji took the soca - unto
higher heights
Oh Oh Oh - Oh Oh - For the love of
the music
Heaven give to us - Music to bless
our souls take control
Soca is off course - Ah wonder of
this world

Edwin Ayoung or “Crazy” - born Edwin Ayoung in 1944, on Maraval Road in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad of a Venezuelan mother and Trinidadian father of Chinese descent, was - in his youth - as skilled and competitive in his country’s national pastime of cricket, as he has been now for years as a world-travelled musician, performing artist and composer.
Though dubbed The “Loveable
Lunatic of Soca,” Ayoung
has time and again not
been given his due in
his native land, yet
remains one of the most
commercially successful
artists on the international
soca scene. An experimentalist,
he pioneered the unique
musical genre known
as Parang Soca and played
a leading role in promoting
Chutney Soca. Crazy
would go on to sing
several monster smashes
in parang soca, including
Muchacha and
Homemade Wine.
A brilliant double-entendre artiste at its best - Edwin Ayoung has delighted in pushing the envelope in his humorous and witty manner. With songs like Paul, Nani Wine and Suck Meh Soucouyant to name but three, this illustrious performer remains a staple in the music world
He’s been ranked in the top three for Trinidad & Tobago’s annual national calypso monarch competition - his best showing being at position two with Dustbin Cover. He captured the prestigious Road March title (the ‘tune for the road’ during Carnival Monday and Tuesday) in 1985 with Suck Meh, Soucouyant.
“Crazy” is hard at work for the 2018 steelband Panorama season. This track Love Of The Music which he vocalizes along with Melly Rose is one of a few already out. Already sung by “Crazy” for the season - Pan Break and Wind and Solar.
