"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".

[1] In Lord Melody's 1960s version the story follows a young Puerto Rican man in search of a wife.

[1] The story in Lord Melody's version is identical to that narrated in Robert William Service's poem, Madame La Marquise, from the 1940 collection Bar-Room Ballads.

Instrumental versions were also popular, most famously by Caravelli and by Franck Pourcel and his Grand Orchestre.

The Madness release did not fare well in the UK, only spending two weeks in the charts, peaking at number 38.
