I keep hearing this song on the radio this carnival. I think Cool Sessions does it, but there's a female version they're playing, and I want to know who the artist is. Can anybody please help?? Anita, are you "listening?"

Did you see the picture of the "Big Girl" at J'ouvert in the Daily News?:-o

LOL! Yes, wasn't that HYSTERICAL???!!! I just love the creativity that's on display at carnival. They were talking about this song during the broadcast of the children's parade today, and again they said it was done by Cool Sessions Brass. Maybe it's one song with a portion sung by female lead, and a portion sung by the guys??? Guess I'll find out tomorrow at the adult parade.

OOPS! I was going to try to link the picture, but it isn't in the on line version of the Daily News. But it really was funny.:$)

IMO, the online edition of The Daily News is a waste of time. Actually, most online newspapers are nothing but "Readers' Digest" of the paper. They really leave out a lot. Hopefully, Big Gal will be in the parade tomorrow, and I can take my own photo.

Thanks, Anita. I knew you'd know!

Hopefully they'll have it at Modern Music since they've got a 40% off sale. I'd like to get several for my friends. Awesome track!

One of my favorite songs way back when was by Queen "Fat Bottom Girls, You make the Rockin' World go "round"!
Guess it is not all a Cultural thing! lol!

I have to go with Taj Mahal's version of "Big Leg Women are Back in Style Again" 🙂

Hmm, on my Taj Mahal Mo' Roots CD, there's a song "Big Mama." Guess skinny women don't stand a chance with him!

I bought the Cool Sessions CD yesterday at Modern Music. My carnival souvenir. Seemed like things were much more organized this year. Not so many long gaps in the parade. So much fun!

Thanks, Sbrock. They are an awesome band. Please spread the word about the Sunday jam, because many people are bummed that the Sapphire party is no longer.
