“We Will Take You Off To The Caribbean. To The Land Of Cuban Hooker Shoes…”
- Marvin Gardens, 1974
“She had a big hat, my it was high
Had bananas and mangos all piled to the sky
And how she could balance them, I wouldn’t dare
‘Cause they don’t dance like Carmen nowhere…”
Marvin reflects on the banger track: “I loved Carmen Miranda before I knew her name. Her hat was filled with fruit piled up to the sky. I guess this song came out of my “Cuban period” when I first got to Key West and came in contact with the Latin passion for fun.”
