This is like one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard.

classic for sure, but was this song reggae, ska, calypso, soca, or what? i've always wondered.

Let's spice this up a bit.
Ruining innocent fun: Is this song misogynist?If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall.
As soon as he marries her
Then she starts to do
The things that will break his heart.
But if you make an ugly woman your wife,
You'll be happy for the rest of your life,
An ugly woman cooks meals on time,
She'll always give you a peace of mind.
Don't let your friends say
You have no taste,
Go ahead and marry anyway,
Though her face is ugly,
Her eyes don't match,
Take it from me she's a better catch.
Say man.
Hey baby.
Saw your wife the other day.
Yeah?
Yeah, and she's ugly.
Yeah, she's ugly but she sure can cook, baby.
Yeah? Alright.
I mean on one hand he's really saying that you shouldn't marry someone for their looks, but the "she sure can cook" stuff is a bit iffy...hmmm...
