Guest vinylvixen Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 "Get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans" Or the original Joe Turner version - 'I'm like a one eyed cat peeping in a seafood store....' - Bill Haley NEVER uttered that verse

Gene-r Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Or the original Joe Turner version - 'I'm like a one eyed cat peeping in a seafood store....' - Bill Haley NEVER uttered that verse Actually Jo, I'm sure he did! The verse that Bill Haley amended to comply with good taste was originally: You wear those dresses, the sun comes shinin' through, You wear those dresses, the sun comes shinin' though, I can't believe all that mess belongs to you........ Pretty sure that's how it went. The 'one eyed cat' line was overlooked for some reason!
Ian Dewhirst Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Skullsnaps-I,m your pimp-GSF and may I say, what a great record.

Guest Awake 502 Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 "You'd Never Get Away with It Nowadays". Thou's obviously not a Yorkshire man Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties. The first man had married a woman from Albania, and bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do all the dishes and house cleaning that needed doing at their home. He said that it took a couple days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were all washed and put away. The second man had married a woman from Brazil. He bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. He told them that the first day he didn't see any results, but the next day it was better. By the third day, his house was clean, the dishes were done, and he had a huge dinner on the table. The third man had married a Yorkshire lass. He boasted that he told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot food on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day most of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye.

Liamgp Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Can we include Ska/Reggae stuff here or will that be going too far for public taste and decency?

Guest Bicks Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Not Northern Soul by Gary Pucket and the union gap - Young Girl. I've often wondered about this one yet it still gets loads of plays on the radio, does nobody listen to the lyrics or am I reading too much into it????
Gene-r Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 I've often wondered about this one yet it still gets loads of plays on the radio, does nobody listen to the lyrics or am I reading too much into it???? Surprised that a record that blatantly deals with under-age sex relationships even still gets played 41 years after its release!
Guest sarahleen Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 not sure who its by but - Love On A lease Plan -, he sounds like a pimp .
Guest Beeks Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Surprised that a record that blatantly deals with under-age sex relationships even still gets played 41 years after its release! Well to be fair...she wouldn't really be underage now would she...so it would be ok to go there...
Ian Dewhirst Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Doesn't he wear his HAT to the side not his hair? Yes, of course you're absolutely right. Still an awful slur on the pimp profession though............ Ian D
Soulfreak Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 not sure who its by but - Love On A lease Plan -, he sounds like a pimp . Love On A Lease Plan is by Johnnie Taylor.....but actually it was Johnnie Morrisette, (mentioned above on 'I'm Hungry'), who pimped...
Davetay Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Well to be fair...she wouldn't really be underage now would she...so it would be ok to go there... In that case it could be "your much too old girl" How about Flower Shopp " you,ve come a long way baby" there,s a line in it about hair begining to grow below her waist!
Kev Cane Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 my favorite is garland green "don't think I'm a violent guy", the monologue part where he's like "I hit you so light, it wouldn't even make a baby cry!" and that's not even the only song on the album about beating up people.Was actually going to mention "Jealous kinda fella" boba where he "punched that guy last night" I think in this day and age old Garland would have been issued with an ASBO.

Guest Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Or the original Joe Turner version - 'I'm like a one eyed cat peeping in a seafood store....' - Bill Haley NEVER uttered that verse Not northern soul I know.........but it may slip in under the umberella of R&B room acceptable Etta James - 7 Day Fool - - - - now that woman knew how to look after her man
michael-j Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 The 'one eyed cat' line was overlooked for some reason! i heard that it could be explained away because of Bill Haley's glass eye...
Mark B Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 there is an R&B song dont know who it is by but he is in front of the judge and the line goes "Why did you hit her with the chair cos i coulnt lift the frigidaire" made me laugh every time i heard it i had it on a old cassette tape. mark
Guest posstot Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 "You can have with my husband, but please don't mess with man"
Guest Beeks Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 "You can have with my husband, but please don't mess with man" I think that has more bearing on todays society then when it first came out!!
boba Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Surprised that a record that blatantly deals with under-age sex relationships even still gets played 41 years after its release! obviously steely dan is famous for that, but i always thought that the defonics "seventeen" was pretty disturbing.
Guest Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Milton Parker "Women like it harder" just about beats everything! Gets my vote anyway!
Suzannek Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 What about Big Boy Arthur Crudup "She's Got No Hair". It goes somewhere along the lines of "Hey look at her she got no hair, hey look at her she got no hair". I cannot find the lyrics, but there's a bit in the song where it says "her wig fell off and she had no hair at all." Suz x
Guest Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Or the original Joe Turner version - 'I'm like a one eyed cat peeping in a seafood store....' - Bill Haley NEVER uttered that verse As you will know , that line disguises what the " OEC " and the " SS " really are ........... As inuedos go , Billy Watkins and " The Ice Man " ......... Malc Burton
