"Shame and Scandal in the Family", also known as "Shame & Scandal" for short, is a song written by calypso singer Sir Lancelot for the movie I Walked with a Zombie in 1943[1] and originally titled "Fort Holland Calypso Song".[2] Sir Lancelot issued his recording of it in the late 1940s.[1] The Sir Lancelot version was covered by folksingers Odetta and Burl Ives.[1] In 1962, Trinidadian calypsonian Lord Melody wrote new lyrics for the verses while keeping the melody and the chorus.[1] The Historical Museum of Southern Florida said of Lord Melody's version, “No calypso has been more extensively recorded.”[1]
