That comeback was so weak it is laughable. Reality is it is a Bahamian folk song and Bay Street is in the Bahamas.

No one asked Discography to process emotions, we are talking about common sense and where the evidence points to. The evidence clear, what isn't the job of Discography is to make up false narratives with no solid basis for them to stand on.

Claiming a song being mentioned on Baystreet sung by people who lived over the hill while working as evidence that Americans somehow made the song is .... well you know.

If you are saying that American musical influences were present in the Bahamas and there are traces of that in these folk songs, then it would still be a Bahamian folk song. Every society has influences in their culture from other cultures, Japanese culture was highly influenced by china, I don't see no one claiming that Japanese culture is somehow Chinese or not Japanese because of some cultural interaction.

Bahamian culture has Bermudian, Irish, English, Scottish, Haitian, Jamaican, African, and American influences. All of that at the end of the day makes up Bahamian culture!!
