"Good morning… Good evening… Good night!"
If you are familiar with Calypsonians and Calypso, you would recognize that signature greeting.
Veteran Calypsonian and master of the art of Double Entendre, Hamidullah Wahid delivers in his own unique style, another timely classic. The Calypso titled “Wear Clothes” is directed at how women dress and its impact on many of their male counterparts.
Making the salient points Dress to impress not to suggest; You don't have to compromise to look nice, he appeals for balance in the way women present themselves.
Hamidullah has captivated audiences over the years with his audience connectivity and rib tickling humour, as well as his serious social commentary. With songs like - One stick of matches, Yuh Cyar Land and Not my Boy to name a few, his pedigree as a humorous entertainer is beyond question, while the elderly statesman in him is reflected in songs like Change, Sycophant and Essence of Democracy.
His 2026 selection Wear Clothes reflects both sides of this awesome entertainer, one who always bring a smile to the faces of his audience.
Hamidullah is a Calypsonian/Recording artiste for forty plus years. He has had performances throughout the US Virgin Islands, North America and the Caribbean. He is one of those senior Calypsonians that younger and inexperienced artistes could always look to for advice and constructive criticism.
You can catch up with him this upcoming Carnival season in Trinidad at the Classic Russo Calypso Tent in Port of Spain as well as entertainment spots across Trinidad. You can also find his music on YouTube, Spotify, and other social media platforms.
Lyrics
WEAR CLOTHES
Ah love yuh hair and yuh lips
But let me tell you this
You look so fine
Ah want to make you mine
But the way you dress
I am not impressed
Is why I willingly suggest
Chorus
Wear clothes darling more clothes
Make me want to know what it is yuh hiding so
Wear Clothes woman more clothes
Dress to impress and not to suggest
Them kinda thing that you wearing
Could make angels lose they wings
I trying to be a pope
But you destroy all meh hope
Wear Clothes, wear clothes, more clothes
