Rum and Coca Cola is Drinking Song #8. I’ve never been a big fan of rum drinks, but I am a fan of this tune. You can read an interesting history of this calypso on Wikipedia. It was a huge success for the Andrews Sisters in 1945 and has been well recorded since. Listen to this recent version featuring Wanda Jackson and Jack White from her recording called The Party Ain’t Over (highly recommended….check out her version of Bob Dylan’s Thunder on the Mountain!).
I love Lord Invader’s version…
Here’s Arielle Dombasle..
There are lots more versions of the tune but these are my favourites.

Oh Ms Jackson, you are divine!
She really is, isn’t she…
When I arrive at a blog with a header post saying ‘rum and coca cola’ I realise I’m in blog heaven….well the rum bit of blog heaven anyroad…;-)
How’s The Squeeze Box Dogs doin’ anyroad??? I’m coming back to Scooter Forums Radio in a month or so and you’re on the playlist old bean!….Be afraid…be very afraid…;-)
Soz for my absense….I was training as a driving instructor (putting death on the roads)…and it took over my life/time. Got my badge now so I’m back in blogland….which is possibly a worry…
Cheers old bean
