If you really want to hear our view,
You Haven’t Done Nothing - Stevie Wonder, Speaking to Richard Nixon
What’s interesting about that song is that Kyu Sakamoto’s version has Japanese lyrics with an western arrangement; while A Taste of Honey’s version is English lyrics to a Japanese style arrangement - and they both work.
BG 6 is “The Sound of Philadephia” (a.k.a. “Theme to Soul Train”) by MFSB.
MH 4 is “Fight the Power” by Public Enemy.
BG5: Strawberry Letter 23 – I can’t remember who it’s by, though
BG10: If You Ask Me To – Miss Patti LaBelle
(always Miss, and don’t be sayin’ nothin’ bout no skinny big-toothed Canadian up in here!)
BG13: Talkin’ Loud & Sayin’ Nothin’ – James Brown
MH5: Friends – Whodini (How many of us have them?)
Chefguy 1: Play that Funky Music by the rather unfunky Wild Cherry
My contributions:
TL1: Whenever I got lonely or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder, his words were very nice
TL2: Disoriented, I can’t tell my up from down
All I know is that I want to lay you down
TL3: So what you got Chanel on your feet?
Hot sex on a platter makes the mission complete
Yay! Somebody got my James Brown one! Viva La Tea. Strawberry Letter 23 is by The Brothers Johnson
TL3: Ladies Love Loungin’ with Cool James. (Am I right?)
Here are some easy-peasy ones. Really easy. No reason why even the headbangiest of the Whitesnakes can’t get these.
BG17: Ain’t no smiling faces
Lying to the races.
BG18: And when he died
All he left us was alone.
BG19: You hold me in your arms and say once again you love me
And, if your love is true, everything will be just as wonderful.
This one may not be easy but it’s one that always made me laugh-- not on purpose, I don’t think.
BG20: Here I am laying in the hospital
Bandaged from feet to head
Ya see I’m in a state of shock
Just that much from being dead
Ladies do love Loungin’ with Cool James, Biggirl.
I am so disappointed that this thread isn’t getting more play – but I’m not going to scoop your easy-peasy ones, I’ll leave them for someone who wants to get some PoC Brownie (ha, get it?!) Points.
(You do realize that by using the phrase “easy-peasy” we both lose PoC Brownie Points, right?)
BG 7 is “It’s Ecstacy When You Lay Down Next to Me” by Barry White (?)
BG 17 is “I’ll Take You There” by the Staple Singers.
BG 18 is “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” by the Temptations.
Right NDP.
Except for BG 7 like I would give the title in the words. . . humph
You should see the looks I get when I say “easy peasy”, “Okey Dokey” and “forsooth!” in real life. Serious loss of PoC points. Must practice. . . For shizzle, my nizzle. For shizzle, my nizzle.
I’m pretty sure the title of Biggirl’s song no. 7 is (I’ve Got to Be) Free. It’s by Deniece Williams.
What do I win?
threeorange wins 1 PoC brownie point!
BG19: Lover’s Concerto - The Supremes.
These are probably easy, but:
koee1 - But while I live only to hold you,
Some other men, they long to control you.
koee2 - you can’t take me for granted and smile
koee3 - I ain’t no psychiatrist
I ain’t no doctor with degrees
koee4 - But if there’s some emergency
Have a male friend to ask for me
btw#2 is “Suavecito,” but I forget who did it.
koee4 is “Part-Time Lover”, by Stevie Wonder.
Speaking of which, when I was in fourth grade, my music teacher gave us an in-class writing assignment on the topic of, “If you could change the National Anthem, what song would you choose?” I wrote, “If I could change the National Anthem, I would make it ‘Cool Jerk,’ because most Americans think they’re cool, but they’re really jerks.” I think I got a D on that one.
She’ll be sorry when I’m dictator and force everyone to listen to our new Anthem on eternal repeat for the rest of their lives.
“Mmmm, you’re smokin’! Mmmm mmm mmm!”
If You Want Me To Stay by Sly and/or the Family Stone
koee3 is “Think” by Aretha Franklin
“BG5: Strawberry Letter 23 – I can’t remember who it’s by though”
That would be the Brothers Johnson.
P1: Let’s get mellow
P2: We’re gonna dig potatoes
P3: He’s dancin’ with the chick in slacks
P4: If you need me, call me
P5: Bow wow wow, yippy yo, yippy yaa
Twisting the Night Away by Sam Cooke, I think.
BG20: It’s a Thin Line Between Love and Hate - The Persuaders
P2: Shotgun - Jr. Walker
P5: Atomic Dog - P Funk (or “What’s My Name” by Snoop)
My outstanding contributions are:
TL1: Whenever I got lonely or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder, his words were very nice
TL2: Disoriented, I can’t tell my up from down
All I know is that I want to lay you down
and I’ll add
TL4: But did you think I’d just accept you in blind faith
Oh sure babe, anything to please you
