#453 - Toots & The Maytals - Pressure Drop - 1970
running recap for me - 3's=25, 2's=16, 1's=7
this one - *
from the album: Monkey Man
Written by Toots Hibbert
Produced by Leslie Kong
Chart action:
the players:
Toots Hibbert - lead vocal
other people - other stuff
One of the inventors of the genre. Then stupid americans hijacked it. Not a huge fan of reggae, but I do
appreciate it in it's purest form. Not so much this one though. Once again it's the lyrics. I'm becoming a
stickler for those. This says nothing to me and the music just passes. This song appeared in the film The
Harder They Come and got the group some fans outside of Jamaica. Covered by the Clash, Robert Palmer, the
Selecter, and the Specials.

Lyrics
It is you, oh yeah
It is you, oh yeah
I said a pressure drop,
Oh pressure, oh yeah
Pressure's gonna drop on you
I said pressure drop
Oh pressure, oh yeah
Pressure's gonna drop on you
I said when it drops
Oh you gonna feel it
Oh that you were doin' it wrong, wrong, wrong
Now when it drops
Oh you gonna feel it
That you were doin' it wrong and how
I said when it drops
You gonna feel it
That you've been doin' it wrong
Now when it drops, drop
You gonna feel it
That you've been doin' wrong
Now when it drops, drop
Feel it
You make the wrong move
Now when it drops, drop
You gonna feel it
That you've been it doin' wrong
I said, pressure drop
Oh pressure, oh yeah
Pressure's gonna drop on you
Pressure drop
Oh pressure, oh yeah
Pressure's gonna drop on you
Now when it drops on your dirty little head
Where you gonna go?
It's you, you, you
When it drop on, oh you're gonna feel it
What you're doing is wrong, wrong, wrong
Pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure
I said a pressure drop

I have an import album by Toots so I have to say I like the song.
Looking Back At Some Classics - CRAZY-HORSE - 26-11-2012
i am not backing you up with this one SteveO...dont like it, and like MH, dont like Reggae much at all...a very limited genre in our opinions!, same could be said for blues also!

#452 - Nirvana - Come As You Are - 1991
running recap for me - 3's=25, 2's=17, 1's=7
this one - **
from the album: Nevermind
Written by Kurt Cobain
Produced by Butch Vig
Chart action: #32 US, #9 UK, #25 Australia, #27 Canada
the players:
Kurt Cobain – lead and backing vocals, guitar
Krist Novoselic – bass
Dave Grohl – drums, backing vocals
Pulled this one up and immediately thought love. Listened to it again and changed that to a like. It just
don't hold up. Second single from the bands second album. The one that made them a household name. Or was
that Cobain offing himself. I forget. Kurt says the song is about people and what they're expected to act
like. What the hell drugs are people on when they write this stuff? Guitar part in this song is said to
sound like a part from a Killing Joke song, Eighties. A lawsuit was filed, but dropped after Cobain's
death. Speculation as to that explanation, or whether it was thrown out of court. Looks like that would be
public record. Depends on who you talk to I guess.

Lyrics
Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy.
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, as an old memoria
Memoria [x3]
Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria
Memoria [x3]
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun [x2]
Memoria [x3]
Memoria - and I don't have a gun
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun [x4]
Memoria [x2]
Looking Back At Some Classics - CRAZY-HORSE - 26-11-2012
good song..but prefer the rough,ragged acoustic version
and whats all that crap about "i swear i dont have a gun"????...you're a liar Cobain!
Looking Back At Some Classics - SteveO - 26-11-2012
I am not a big reggae fan either but I do like to listen to Marley, Toots and Peter Tosh from time to time. I think it's uplifting music for the most part.

#451 - Sonny And Cher - I Got You Babe - 1965
running recap for me - 3's=26, 2's=17, 1's=7
this one - ***
from the album: Look At Us
Written by Sonny Bono
Produced by Sonny Bono
Chart action: #1 US, #1 UK, #1 Canada
the players:
Sonny & Cher – vocals
Hal Blaine - drums
don't know the others
One of the greatest love songs ever written. Or maybe it was just my love for Sonny & Cher. Don't think I
missed an episode. Whoulda thunk it? A couple of sixties hippies with their own show on primetime network
tv. Sonny was the genius behind it all. Sonny begot Cher. And they gave birth to this classic, plus that
Chasity mistake. This was written by Sonny when he was working for Phil Spector, for Cher not Phil. It
became the duos biggest selling single and their signature song. Covered by many, most well known being
Ub40 with Chrissie Hynde, in 1985, taking the song back to #1 in the UK.

Lyrics
They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we're grown
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you
Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned,
Our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure
Of all the things we got
Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around
Don't let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care,
With you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain
We can't climb
Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won't let go
I got you to love me so
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
