MOVE BITCH! Get out the way
Move Bitch,
Get out the way,
Get out the way
Move Bitch
No you are not at a Hip Hop concert where such blatant degrading lyrics are the accepted norm. Flash back to 29th July 2007 the Party Monarch competition, East coast Road. That’s one of the pieces Sherwin Winchester chose to include in his set while he was performing with his band Traffic.
Imagine, NCF paid $30,000 BDS for a man to come down here and call our women bitches and tell them get out the way. I listened to the Party Monarch coverage over the radio, the reason I did not attend will be the subject of another post. When I first heard the “move bitch, get out the way” coming through the radio, I figured somebody had eaten some bad food, was in a hurry to get to the bathroom and was running through the crowd cursing people and it was broadcasted by accident. No it turned out it was Sherwin who had been heard on the NCF radio ad inviting us to come down to east coast so he could call us bitches.
The radio was another source of interest. They were trying to follow Sherwin’s lyrics to bleep out only the word “bitch”. If that was a local act they would have cut away from us and that would be the last time we would have been heard for the evening. I also know the lyrics of local calypsonians are vetted and there is a penalty for using distasteful lyrics, obviously that does not apply to foreign acts.
How could Sherwin come down here and look at our beautiful Bajan women and call them bitches? That is unacceptable and inappropriate! It is not inappropriate for us to curse here how ever.
I would take those same lyrics and direct them right back to the NCF who hired Sherwin to be at Party Monarch in the first place and I would say:
Move Bitch,
Get out the way,
Get out the way
Move Bitch!
Boyce Man Dun wid this hey then!

I love Shurwayne’s music but I thought it was very distasteful to sing that song during his performance (among other song choices for a cropover performance).
