#466 - Missy Elliott - Get Ur Freak On - 2001
running recap for me - 3's=21, 2's=9, 1's=5
this one - *
from the album: Miss E...So Addictive
Written by Missy Elliott, Timbaland
Produced by Timbaland
Chart action: #7 US, #4 UK, #44 Australia
the players:
Missy Elliott - vocal
other people I guess
Never heard this one before. Didn't think it could get worse than yesterdays for me, but never say never.
Like yesterdays, Timbaland co-writes and produces. Profound lyrics as usual. Based on heavy bhangra
elements, a popular music and dance form from the Punjab state of India,[1] the song features a six-note
base that is a Punjabi melody played on a tumbi, a stringed Indian instrument. That's all fine I guess,
but then the lyrics kick in. That's where a lot of hip-hop loses me. I know, I'm just old and out of
touch. I'll take the backlash, and you can have this.

Charming....can lyrics get more banal and infantile than this. The answer is probably yes, but this must be close to the bottom of the barrel.

#465 - Muddy Waters - Rollin' Stone (Catfish Blues) - 1948
running recap for me - 3's=21, 2's=10, 1's=5
this one - **
from the album: various compilations
Written by McKinley Morganfield (Muddy Waters)
Produced by Leonard and Phil Chess
Chart action: predates charts
the players:
Muddy Waters
You have to appreciate the rawness of recordings this old. Other than for it's influence on rock, I've
never been a big blues fan. Just too repetitious. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate it. Around the time
of it's birth it had to be a breath of fresh air. Rollin' Stone is actually an interpretation of a song
called Catfish Blues which was written in the 1920's. Muddy's song was his first release on Chess records,
where most of his career took place. It sold enough for Muddy to quit his day job as a truck driver, and
become a legend.

Lyrics
Well, I wish I was a catfish,
swimmin in a oh, deep, blue sea
I would have all you good lookin women,
fishin, fishin after me
Sure 'nough, a-after me
Sure 'nough, a-after me
Oh 'nough, oh 'nough, sure 'nough
I went to my baby's house,
and I sit down oh, on her steps.
She said, "Now, come on in now, Muddy
You know, my husband just now left
Sure 'nough, he just now left
Sure 'nough, he just now left"
Sure 'nough, oh well, oh well
Well, my mother told my father,
just before hmmm, I was born,
"I got a boy child's comin,
He's gonna be, he's gonna be a rollin stone,
Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone
Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone"
Oh well he's a, oh well he's a, oh well he's a
Well, I feel, yes I feel,
feel that a low down time ain't long
I'm gonna catch the first thing smokin,
back, back down the road I'm goin
Back down the road I'm goin
Back down the road I'm goin
Sure 'nough back, sure 'nough back

#464 - Prince & The Revolution - Kiss - 1986
running recap for me - 3's=21, 2's=11, 1's=5
this one - **
from the album: Parade
Written by Prince & The Revolution
Produced by Prince & The Revolution
Chart action: #1 US, #6 UK, #2 Australia, #4 Canada
the players:
Prince
Prince was the late night clip I posted yesterday and he shows up here today. Twenty five years ago he hit
the chart with this one. Not one of my Prince love tracks but I do like it. Prince was asked for a song by
a group called Mazarati. He gave them this acoustic number. After they developed it he took it back and
added it at the last minute to his Parade album. WB did not want to release it has a single, but Prince
had some clout by this time and insisted. It got him a Grammy for best r&b performance. Screw you label
heads.

Lyrics
You don't have to be beautiful
to turn me on
I just need your body baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'm gonna show you what it's all about
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your
Kiss
You got to not talk dirty, baby
If you wanna impress me
You can't be to flirty, mama
I know how to undress me (Yeah)
I want to be your fantasy
Maybe you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We could have a good time
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have 2 be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your
Kiss
Yes I think I wanna dance
Gotta, Gotta
Little girl Wendy's parade
Gotta, gotta, gotta
Women not girls rule my world
I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama (Not your shoe size)
Not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl
You don't have to watch Dynasty
To have an attitude
You just leave it all up to me
My love will be your food
Yeah
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your
Kiss
