Step right up step up step up
Step right up step up step up


This is how it should be done
'Cause this style
Is identical to none
How can I make you dance some more
That's what I came here for

This is how it should be done
(And now here's the magnificent Funkey Mama)
'Cause this style
Is identical to none
How can I make you dance some more
That's what I came here for

Feel your blue flows like water
The man behind the music will make you jump
Oh Jack you're swingin'
Make you shake your rump

No dick or fee tellin' me this is what you want
Baselines and snares that will make you funk
Intimidated by his 14 year old
At 97 he's a different kind of funk

We push together like a perfect hand and tongue
You pressed your luck and now your back to should be sunk
Be coming, free the future, with yo' face punked
Forgot about the past now what you want
Platinum tracks to put you on the map

'Cause we gotta keep it in the fam'
You had yo' chance to be down wit da man
So busy playa hatin', perpetuating, articulating
Balla's down four, you can't take me

What the deal ma
Funkey Mama plays the track so you could feel, huh?
I'll make a D, I'm all about the dolla' bills y'all
Rock the diamond Lex while I sit behind my desk
And sign the checks

If you like hits baby
Got 'em going crazy on Blackstreet
You know it's plaque time when me and the track meet
Save all yo whack beats, QP and TR so precise with mics
We should be surgeons in E.R.

The block knows
Baby girl be my diamond 'cause she rocks shows
See my one's ain't no way that you can stop those
Little man got your breath together
With Queen Pen, now it's hot to death

So take a look back
What I did, what I'm doing, where I take this
It's kinda simple 'cause it's nothing just to make hits
Peep the facts, keep 'em stacked
When the streets are Black
Ladies scream he's the Mack

'Cause I kick (what)
Shit that make the fly chick you with my chick
And plush funds just ridiculous
'Cause I'm rich
We are TR, you see, QP, that's we, Blackstreet, gone

You can't take it
(And now, here's the magnificent Funkey Mama)

Now Teddy jam for me one time
Enforce that then I'd make my hips bump and grind
We'll just happen
All this shit in this 'cause of platinum hits
Little man be the shit, Funkey Mama represent
It ain't never been no different

And we got witnesses
You account for all of this shit
Just we, and get your block knocked off
You can keep your I-pinion till you get there

'Cause it don't matter
We don't follow chit chatter
We make hits
And calls, my situations get thick
Ask St. Nick, about the repertoire
For those in the past, they know who they are

If the shoe fits, trust
We gon' wear it
Can we be's the baddest clique up on this planet
We paid the cost to be boss guys
'Cause scare money don't win money, now drop it

This is how it should be done
'Cause this style
Is identical to none
How can I make you dance some more
(Little man)
That's what I came here for

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
