Antigua St. John's - The announcement that the Burning Flames’ song, Kick In She Backdoor, was adjudged winner of the 2012 Road March has been greeted with a muted response from the head of Women Against Rape (WAR), Alexandrina Wong.
WAR called for a ban of the song because, according to Wong, its lyrics promoted violence against women. The call seemed to have had the opposite effect, as there are many who feel that the call for a ban only helped to make the song more popular, and that it may have contributed to its Road March victory.
When told that the song was announced as winner during the on-stage presentation at Carnival City on Tuesday night, Wong said it was never about the Burning Flames, its leader Onyan, or any individual artiste for the matter. She said her organisation’s aim was to highlight the need for artistes to be conscious of the likely impact of the lyrics they sing.
Wong told Caribarena.com that the entire affair has served as a catalyst that has brought together a number of people and organisations who plan to step up the campaign to have more socially responsible lyrics in the songs that are aired on the radio.

The lyrics are ridiculous to put it nicely. I am surprised it got so much play on the road ... it shows how wacked the dj's and jam bands are imn Antigua.
First Kentucky ... now kick in she back door. When our grandchildren look back at roadmarch history of Antigua they are gonna wonder what was going on in 2011 - 2012.
It seems in them times Grandpa if you wanted a girl ya'll just took her to Kentucky and if she won't let you in later ya'll just "kick in she back door"!!!

Why didn't she take the police force and government to task on ensuring the security of women? Political and personal gimmick that is all it is. Tell Wong (wrong) get wha life!
