Mighty Spoiler - Father Christmas by maharajah
Spoiler, Theophilus Phillip, was born on March 23, 1926 in Princes Town, Trinidad
After briefly working as a railway porter, Spoiler began his singing career in 1946 at the House of Lords Tent and was a founding member of the Young Brigade Tent which opened in 1947. He won the first National Calypso Crown competition in 1953 with "Bed Bug." He won the title again in 1955 with "Picking Sense Out of Nonsense," and took second place in 1957 with "Magistrate Try Himself." Spoiler passed away on December 24, 1960, from an alcohol-related disease.

Thank you MAHARAJAH.
Very funny and very clever calypsos.
Unfortunately, for me Spoiler is the hardest calypsonian to understand. :((

Best wishes from Kazakhstan
