Zombie Jamboree

As a kid growing up in Ohio, our house wasn't quite the same as others. With a mother from Nicaragua and a father from Jamaica, not only did we eat food that was different from other people, we listened to different music too.

We had a liberal helping of calypso and steel drum bands mixed in with our Elvis, Johnny Cash and Ray Conniff Singers (don't ask). So today, in honor of Halloween and my Jamaican roots, I offer you Harry Belafonte's "Zombie Jamboree." This was one of my favorite songs growing up, probably because the chorus had a curse word that no one stopped us from singing :)

Back to back, belly to belly
Don't give a damn
'Cuz you done dead already
Back to back, belly to belly
In the zombie jamboree
