File:The Andrews Sisters - Rum And Coca-Cola 1945 Sample.ogg

A 29-second sample of The Andrews Sisters' 1945 hit "Rum and Coca-Cola." The song is culturally and historically significant as its controversial lyrics were criticized as embodying American imperialism during the post-World War II period. Many American radio stations refused to play the song because its lyrics implied that local Trinidadian women—"both mother and daughter working for the Yankee dollar"—were prostituting themselves to U.S. soldiers stationed at the Trinidad naval base.
