'Sexy Duppy Singles'
Sigh. I hate the paid ads at Google. So I googled the word "duppy," 'cuz I'm trying to remember what the hell show it was I remember that word from as a kid - some weird something or other, or fantastic filthflarn bajibbity or something. I think it was Senor Spielbergo who did the show. Had a cool theme song, and various stories every week. The one I'm thinking of involved a babysitter (I think) from the islands. I couldn't find what I was looking for googling "duppy." I found out that a duppy is a sort of ghost in Caribbean mythic tradition. And I found an ad for "sexy duppy singles." Sigh.

1. So what's a Duppy?
Is it an acronym like buppie, guppy etc?

your standard chain-clanking ghost, except with riddim.

2. Given your definition of "duppy",
I'm not at all sure I really want to know just what, exactly, are "sexy duppy singles!" Of course, having been a resident of singlesland all of my adult life, NOTHING surprises me about it anymore!

7. If yuh a bullbucker, I'm a duppy conqueror.
Yes me friend
We de a street again
Yes me friend (me good friend)
Dem say we're free again

The bars could not hold me
Force could not control me, now
They try to keep me down
But Jah put I around

Yes, I've been accused (many a times)
And wrongly abused, now
But through the powers of the most-high
They've got to turn me loose

Don't try to cold me up on this bridge, now
I've got to reach mount zion -
The highest region
So if you're a bull-bucker,
Let me tell you this -
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror!

Yes me friend (me good friend)
We de a street again
Yes me friend (me good friend)
Dem say we're free again

So don't try to cold me up on this bridge, now
I've got to reach mount zion -
The highest region
So if you're a bull-bucker,
Let me tell you this -
I'm a duppy conqueror, conqueror!

Yes me friend
Dem say we're free again, oh, oh yeah!
Yes me friend
Dem set me free again
