Vintage Unplugged, S4E2: Crazy

Edwin Ayoung (born 1944), better known as Crazy, is a Trinidadian calypsonian. He has been active since the mid-1970s and is one of the most successful artists from Trinidad and Tobago.
Crazy's lyrics are often humorous, but have also incorporated political themes. While many of his lyrics have been risqué, in 2011 he appealed to parang soca artists to keep lyrics 'holy' in the run up to Christmas. In contrast to the homophobic lyrics of many calypsonians, Crazy's "Take ah Man", with its line "If yuh cyar get ah wooman, take ah man", was adopted as a gay anthem in Trinidad and Tobago. He wrote "Stop the Crime" in response to the murder of state prosecutor Dana Seetahal and general level of crime in Trinidad.

Searching all over for his song with lyric 'mummy rich, pappy rich/driving moto-car'. Was lucky enough to hear 'Crazy' in the '70s. Better times than we knew.

Crazy doesn't get the dues and recognition he deserves. He's up there with the greatest

Crazy is valued in my mind as one of the best in calypsonians. Thanks you for your insights and we are blessed to have you.
