Here's a list--"Maggie May" a surprising entry but I have no doubt Rod Stewart knew that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Songs_about_prostitutes

BTW, it's "dormouse" from their long hibernation periods--nothing to do with entryways. I'll spare you the Wiki link...

Music Head Wrote:had forgotten about the Soft Cell coverAbout "Where Did Our Love Go": Berry Gordy, Jr., savvy bizman that he was, would have 3-4 groups in the stable record a song then have a committee pick the best one (in their estimation) to release. There's been an album released of those alternate editions. Here from another Board is a discussion of that with some folk's better picks: http://soulfuldetroit.com/archive/index.php/t-1282.html
a rare love rating for a cover

I just love it when somebody presents a project. In this case it's going through the list and replacing all the clips that YouTube took down or don't exist. I'll start tomorrow...with the songs I like; the others can go hang. One thing you'll not find are Prince clips--he has battalions of lawyers preventing public use that he doesn't control.

Music Head Wrote:#453 - Toots & The Maytals - Pressure Drop - 1970It's purest form in many cases is US pop/R&B with the beat turned around. Anybody wanting to know reggae from the jump should hie themselves to this album and the 3 that followed--surprises abound. Incidentally "Pressure Drop" is cut # 5 on this: http://www.allmusic.com/album/20-reggae-classics-the-music-that-inspired-a-generation-mw0000197624 << I'm good for playing the set about once every 3-4 months.
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.
Another thing: Why would a reasonable person expect cogent lyrics to dance-hall music? If you heard about 70-80% of Salsa tunes in translation, you either laugh your ass off or turn it off in disgust. Consider the genre, my man...and just go with the tune.
