I wouldn't perform the song, Morwen, but purely because I don't do calypsos! If I did I would be happy to do it without introduction. The mere mention of 'Teddy Boys' ensures that everyone would be aware it is not a song of today. Besides - The spoken, or sung, word can be inflected with irony far better than the written word can. I mentioned Britney Spears earlier - Have you ever heard Travis's version of 'Hit me baby'? Try to find it - It will just show how a whole song can be turned on it's head - In a good way;-)

I may do the Bogle song without intro but I would ensure that I asked that everyone wait until the last verse before throwing things at me!

Cheers
