This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I'm callin' ya daddy (daddy)
Can you be my daddy (daddy)
I need a daddy (daddy)
Won't you be my daddy (daddy)
Come and make it rain down on me
Come and make it rain down on me
Now come and kick it with the Twista
Black Caddy, Mack Daddy,
With a hoe up in the back seat
With the '97 pimp flow
Gotta feelin' when you smokin'
When I flip it to a track speed ?
Talkin' about a beautiful figure
Astonishing as greek mythology
Body be just like a girl in uh
What's that movie? never mind
Let me enter your atmosphere
As you enter my world
And lemme touch that booty
I can't believe that your momma that cold
Her daughter got such an astonishing soul
You need a modeling role
Still a player know you got it
When you climbin' from the bottom
To the top of that pole
Cause you can pop and control
Your fatty's so accurate
When I'm smackin' it
It's makin' me say
"What I gotta do to get with that?"
When it come to makin' it rain,
I can get it wet
When it come to cuttin' the monkey
I can get it wet
You gone see me to ya baby
You need a better man
Here come the politics,
I'ma be your weatherman
Cause every time I'm lookin' up
And I see more ass
I'ma constantly see
Rain in the forecast
This-a-way that-a-way
I'm flickin' 5,000 ones
Or whatever you wanna call it
It's a celebration
You the champion
Here's the fetti confetti
Come on and get drunk
With the money hauler?
[Chorus: x2]
You done been good,
But you can do better
I done been wet,
But I can get wetter
Come and make it rain down on me
But when I'm not for the feminine
And everybody that perceive with the hatred
I'ma teach them a lesson
I take shots of adrenaline
Cause that's the way I receive immunization
Against the recession
I got the muscle off my hustle and flow money
An entrepreneur with ways to get more money
So don't be trippin' whenever you see me throw money
Haha it's just a little bit of show money
But if you want me to get it wet another ways
Then I'ma have to beat it up the first time I play with you girl
Touch your ears and your neck and play with your pearls
Then I reach up in your pants and play with you pearl?
When I lay you down you ain't gotta be frontin' or fakin'
On me baby cause I know it takes the right touch
I ain't stoppin' til you wet up the covers
Because I gotta keep on fuckin' til I see a lot of white stuff
Now you got me excited I can't hold it
I'm feelin' it coming I'm bout to let off an explosion
Let it ride when I see you I'm ? and shakin'
When I touch your body you catchin' convulsions
That's when I know I'm doin' what I'm supposed to
You chose me, I chose you.
Don't think I can get it wet? I told you
Come and let the Twist rain down on you
[Chorus: x2]
I'm callin ya daddy (daddy)
Can you be my daddy (daddy)
I need a daddy (daddy)
Won't you be my daddy (daddy)
Can you be my daddy (daddy)
I need a daddy (daddy)
Won't you be my daddy (daddy)
Come and make it rain down on me
Come and make it rain down on me
Now come and kick it with the Twista
Black Caddy, Mack Daddy,
With a hoe up in the back seat
With the '97 pimp flow
Gotta feelin' when you smokin'
When I flip it to a track speed ?
Talkin' about a beautiful figure

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song is gross.
