#495 - Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar - 1971
me - ***
from the album Sticky Fingers
Written by Mick Jagger/Keith Richards
Produced by Jimmy Miller
Chart action: #1 Billboard Pop, #2 UK Singles, #1 Canada
the players:
Mick Jagger - lead vocals
Keith Richards - electric guitar, backing vocals
Mick Taylor - electric, acoustic and slide guitar
Charlie Watts - drums
Bill Wyman - bass guitar
Second entry from the Glimmer twins. A tally may be too hard to keep up with. Lead single from the zipper album.
Mick put this together with his then girlfriend Marsha Hunt in mind. Yes she is black and that inter racial thing
was still controversial at the time. B-side was Bitch which could have been a hit on it's own. Raunchy lyrics and
pushing that envelope was a Stones constant. I don't remember it but I would think a lot of American radio stations
had some hesitancy in putting Brown Sugar on their playlist. Race and sex were still somewhat taboo subjects at the
time. In a Rolling Stone interview in 1995, Jagger said if he had written the song then he would probably censor
himself. That seems a strange statement to make 25 years after.

Lyrics
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him with the women just around midnight
Brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should
Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight
Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should, now
Ah, get along, brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, got me feelin' now, brown sugar just like a black girl should
I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight
Brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should, yeah
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
How come you...how come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Just like a...just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo

Brown Sugar has probably got to be my least favorite Stones song! It's probably because it's over played by every bar band I've ever seen lol
Looking Back At Some Classics - CRAZY-HORSE - 12-10-2012
Brown Sugar is brilliant IMO, love everything about it...but i dont go to bars/clubs so i only get to hear it when it comes out on cd nowadays

#494 - R. Kelly - Ignition (Remix) - 2002
me - *
from the album Chocolate Factory
Written by R. Kelly
Produced by R. Kelly
Chart action: #2 Billboard Hot 100, #1 UK Singles, #1 Australia Singles
the players:
I would list them but there's about 50 for the album
[video=youtube;O29YcBHpH5E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O29YcBHpH5E[/video]
Not much I can tell you about this one. I must have been out of the loop at the time. Never heard it before. Don't
care to hear it again. Says it is one of his signature songs. The remix is used as a distinction from the other
Ignition track on the album which is not related to this one. It's not my thing but it may be yours. Probably not
though.
Lyrics
Now,um,usually I dont do this but uh....
Go head' on and break em off wit a lil' preview of the remix....
No I'm not tryin to be rude,
But hey pretty girl I'm feelin you
The way you do the things you do
Remind me of my Lexus coup
Thats why im all up in yo grill
Tryina get you to a hotel
You must be a football coach
The way you got me playin the field
So baby gimme that toot toot
Lemme give you that beep beep
Runnin her hands through my 'fro
Bouncin on 24's
While they say on the radio...
It's the remix to ignition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rollin that body
got every man in here wishin
Sippin on coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freakin weekend baby
I'm about to have me some fun
Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce
Bounce Bounce Bounce
Now it's like murder she wrote
Once I get you out them clothes
Privacy is on the door
Still they can hear you screamin more
Girl I'm feelin what you feelin
No more hopin and wishin
I'm bout to take my key and
Stick it in the ignition
So baby gimme that toot toot
Lemme give you that beep beep
Runnin her hands through my 'fro
Bouncin on 24's
While they say on the radio...
This is the remix to ignition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rollin that body
Got every man in here wishin
Sippin on coke and rum
I'm like so what i'm drunk
It's the freakin weekend baby
I'm about to have me some fun
Crystall poppin in the stretch Navigator
We got food every where
As if the party was catored
We got fellas to my left
Hunnies on my right
We bring em both together we got junkin all night
Then after the show its the (after party)
And after the party its the (hotel lobby)
And round about 4 you gotta (clear the lobby)
Then head take it to the room and freak somebody
Can I get a toot toot
Can I get a beep beep
Runnin her hands through my 'fro
Bouncin on 24's
While they say on the radio...
This is the remix to ignition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rollin that body
Got every man in here wishin
Sippin on coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freakin weekend baby
I'm about to have me some fun
This is the remix to ignition
Hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rollin that body
Got every man in here wishin
Sippin on coke and rum
I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freakin weekend baby
I'm about to have me some fun
Girl we off in this jeep
Foggin windows up
Blastin the radio
In the back of my truck
Bouncin up and down
Stroke it round and round

Not my thing either, but its a lot better than some of his other stuff. He did a 24 part mini-rap opera thing called "Trapped in the Closet." The musical quality was pretty much non-existent and the lyrical content was lacking even more than the music. =\
I, of course, played all 24 parts in a row one Saturday a few years ago, driving my roommate to the point of near suicide. Because I'm a good friend/roommate. Just as a fun aside. :biggrin:

#493 - MGMT - Time To Pretend - 2008
me - ***
from the album Oracular Spectacular
Written by Ben Goldwasser, Andrew VanWyngarden
Produced by Dave Fridmann
Chart action: #23 Billboard Modern Rock, #35 UK Singles
the players:
only these 2 listed so it must have all been done with that studio trickery
Andrew Vanwyngarden – lead vocals, lead and rhythm guitars, keyboards, drums, percussion
Ben Goldwasser – vocals, keyboards rhythm guitars, percussion, synths and samples
Can't believe this one was not a bigger hit than it was. At least RS recognizes it as a great song. Never heard this
album, but I did hear the follow up, from which nothing could come close to this song. Maybe a one hit wonder for
me. Lyrics are superb and I can handle the electronic side for a change. About pretending to be rock stars and
leaving the old life behind. The song was originally done for the bands ep, but was re-recorded for this debut
album. This is a Brooklyn NY band but has seen more success in the foreign market than here.
I said back in the first post for this thread that I was sticking to audio only clips, but I just have to make an
exception on occasion, as long as they don't stray too far from the recorded version. Too many live clips that
should be viewed. This for one.

Lyrics
I'm Feelin rough I'm Feelin raw I'm in the prime of my life.
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives.
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and **** with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.
This is our decision to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
Forget about our mothers and our friends.
We were fated to pretend.
I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms.
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world.
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home.
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.
But there is really nothing, nothing we can do.
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew.
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
We'll find some more models, Everything must run its course.
We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end.
We were fated to pretend.
Yeah yeah yeah
