Calypso (Spiderbait song)

"Calypso" is a song by Australian alternative rock band Spiderbait.

It was released in April 1997 as the third single from the band's third studio album, Ivy and the Big Apples (1996).

[3] At the ARIA Music Awards of 1997, the song was nominated for Best Video, losing out to "Feelin' Kinda Sporty" by Dave Graney & the Coral Snakes.

[4] Junkee said, "its main verse riff is essentially "Blitzkreig Bop" with a J Mascis makeover, while Janet English's code-switching vocals add a rousing sense of joy to proceedings.

While Australian pop-punk may not be the house that Spiderbait built, they certainly still helped to put bricks in the wall.
