#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. [video=youtube;_TuYrDBp7Bc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TuYrDBp7Bc[/video] 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

#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 To the remix We just thuggin it out...

Music Head Wrote:#494 - R. Kelly - Ignition (Remix) - 2002 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. [video=youtube;2Qq8MBQ--UA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qq8MBQ--UA[/video] 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 |
