LYRICS

Verse 1
Ah write this million dollar song
For Steelbands in T&T for Panorama
I was writing night after night
Till morning light to come up with an idea
But ah take a shut-eye tonight
Creating this melody
’Cause this million dollar music song so sweet
The north and grandstand jump to the beat.

Chorus
We play sweet Pan here in T&T
Panorama bring out the best in all ah we
Arrangers work so hard to make they band sound good
Practice day and night
To do it right
Panorama night
We have it tight, tight, tight
Practice day and night
Until it tight
We go do it, do it, do it until it right

Verse 2
Any steelband play my song 2012 panorama
Must be a winner
The arranger
Doing it better
Than any song play in the savannah
But ah wait to hear what arrangers did with meh song
’Cause this million dollar music so sweet
The North and Grand Stand jump to the beat

Verse 3
Well ah now complete meh song
With music and lyrics strong and awesome
And the judges for panorama attentively
Soak in the melody
Cyah believe ah done write it
And wish it could be a hit
’Cause this million dollar music so sweet
The North and Grand Stand jump to the beat

Dunstan Lawrence made his calypso tent debut in 1999. Though probably not a very familiar face to many on the steelpan music scene, Dunstan, who performs under the sobriquet “Carwash,” saw his music work recognized and performed by one of Trinidad’s powerhouse steel orchestras - world-renowned Trinidad All Stars - back in 1998.  Equipped with Dunstan’s track called “Me and Meh Lady,” All Stars went to the 1998 Panorama competition of that year, eventually placing third in the country’s national championship behind Exodus and Nutones Steel Orchestras.

Though he has not been continuously a household name on the national stage, Dunstan has persevered, and composed and recorded his works through the years.  For 2010, his offering in the music arena was “Pong It.”

To get both his 2011 track “The Alien Steelband” and his latest contender, new for 2012 - “Million Dollar Music” out of the studio, Dunstan again placed his music in the capable hands of  veteran ace musician Pelham Goddard.
