Guest soulboy Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Not Northern Soul by Gary Pucket and the union gap - Young Girl. DONT REMEMBER THE WORDS BUT ISNT ROD STEWART TONIGHTS THE NIGHT A BIT DODGY
Guest Bicks Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 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 Can't believe that, there's not even the hint of a smirk from any of 'em, do you think THEY even realised what he was singing?
Ezzie Brown Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 "SHAKE YOUR MONEY MAKER" ............several blues artists .........what is a moneymaker ?? ez...........clue.........i got one but it dont make any money ...and that aint gonna change!!!!!!!!
Guest Matt Male Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Your Little Sister - The Marvellos probably not one you should sing along to... As for the Checkmates, pretty good record but almost impossible to play out, although he does only say '...run n***** run' towards the end fairly quietly and it is a black guy singing... ...yeah you're right best leave it in the box.
Ted Massey Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 "Got my pistol in my hand all the girls turn around Mr bang bang man" Little Hank
Richard Bayley Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Listening to the lyrics of "I'm Gone", I'm guessing that Eddie Parker hadn't finished his MA in Womens' Studies Basically, soul is just not as rude as R&B, though....... just the titles make me giggle... Big 10" Record Get Off the Table Mabelle (The Two Dollar Bill is for the Beer) Baby Let Me Bang Your Box Who Put the Dexedrine in Mrs Murphy's Ovaltine? And just remember this sound advice....... It ain't the meat, it's the motion, That makes your Daddy wanna rock..... It ain't the meat, it's the motion, It's the movement that gives it the sock.....
Guest andyrattigan Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 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 This reminds me of that spoof of 7ts blaxploitation films "Im gonna get you sucka". If you've seen it you will know what Im talking about. Hilarious film!
boba Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 This reminds me of that spoof of 7ts blaxploitation films "Im gonna get you sucka". If you've seen it you will know what Im talking about. Hilarious film! i know the scene you're talking about... bald heads in R&B predate that song though, one of the treniers famous records is "bald head"
Guest andyrattigan Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Little Walter's R&B record "BOOM BOOM, OUT GO THE LIGHTS" celebrates domestic violence. The lyrics are very wrong indeed: No kiddin' Im ready to fight Ive been lookin for my baby all night If i get her in my sight Boom! Boom! Out go the lights. It's misogyny builds as it goes along. Did he ever manage to pull a woman again after releasing that record? He could hardly use it as a chat up line. "Hey baby, Im the guy who had a hit about beating up my woman, fancy dinner?"
Guest Beeks Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 What about Sammy Lee and The Summits - Hey Joe Joes about to go and shoot his girl and lover then run to mexico to avoid the hangman!
Guest Dante Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Irma Thomas - Don't Mess With My Man: The money my husband makes is for green peas and rice now, my man gives me steak ain't that nice? Not soul, but the ultimate non pc song should be the Ten Commandments by Prince Buster...
Guest Bicks Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Irma Thomas - Don't Mess With My Man: The money my husband makes is for green peas and rice now, my man gives me steak ain't that nice? :thumbsup: Not soul, but the ultimate non pc song should be the Ten Commandments by Prince Buster... I think you'll find 'Wives and Lovers' by Jack Jones is the easy listening alternative to that.
Benji Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Big 10" Record I got a 5 CD set full of Blues and R&B with double entendre. How about "keep on churning till the butter comes"? Or "I like my babys pudding"? But the best one is still Jackie Wilson and LaVern Baker doing their xx-rated version of "think twice"...
Our Kid Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 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! Threw me that,many years ago - think he sings with CURVES below your waist. Paul
Guest gfarrington Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 dr truelove from 1 up to 92 always made me cringe
Our Kid Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 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! Threw me that many moons ago - sure he sings "with curves below your waist" See it was all sweetness and innocence back then!!! Melting Pot - Blue Mink deffo a no no nowadays Curly Latin Kinkees Mixed with Yellow Chinkees Paul
Codfromderby Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 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???? its nearly as bad as "little school girl", cant remember who its by
Codfromderby Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 womens liberation- the topics if you want to be happy-jimmy soul back door man-howling wolf all politically correct (not)
Davetay Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Threw me that many moons ago - sure he sings "with curves below your waist" See it was all sweetness and innocence back then!!! Melting Pot - Blue Mink deffo a no no nowadays Curly Latin Kinkees Mixed with Yellow Chinkees Paul Just listened to Flower Shopp again and you are right. All the years thinking he sings "with hair below your waist" But he does sing about lusting after her It was not just me talked to few people who said thats what they sang Blue Mink-top e.g.
Suzannek Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Wot about these two that are the opposite, and are records that are pretty tame: 100 Pounds of Clay - Gene McDaniels (released in 1961 and banned by BBC radio cos they said it insinuated women were made out of 'building materials.' Rhapsody in the Rain - Lou Christie (the lyrics go, I think "Baby the raindrops play for me a lovely rhapsody cos on our first date we were making out in the rain, and in this car our love went too much too far, then a flash from above lightning lightning, just like our love it was exciting, exciting) or summat like that. Quite tame compared to today I think. Suz x Edited January 13, 2009 by suzannek
Ceejay Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) HOW'S ABOUT GARY GLITTER'S ALL TIME FAVE TUNE!! MESSIN' WITH THE KIDS - MO JO BUFORD!!!! ALSO GENE CHANDLER - THERE WAS A TIME THEY CALL ME THE 'WOMAN HAMMER' Edited January 13, 2009 by jobbo
