Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning.
This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.
She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end.
So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started.
There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.
Everybody get the fuck up
Everybody get the fuck up
Daddy gonna pop that trunk
Yea, batter chip some throwing dirt bare chumps
Sling shot rocks broke no money numbs
Looking up too D boys with the pretty dunks
Slick sit down you ain't in the city thump
Special K make the kitties come
Get you some get mini guns
Move a rock tip those down petting on
Get your own dicks sip on give the dog a bone
Sitting' on bigger chrome get us home
Bird fight pit fight for the good zone
Looking at the world like what I do wrong
Nothing but a male mantra coming back for the pickup
I'm a gift you can't get rid of
Reclined on me homie I'm a make ya sit up
Get drunk do it stay slide so let up scream like
Everybody get the fuck up
Everybody get the fuck up
Let the beat ride like that
Yea I'm a Thunderbird never coming back
Thunder in the trunk thunder in the dope sack
I serve a mot thunder in the dope raps (boom)
Big lacks in the tall grass sit with the tires flat
Real good price body you should buy that
Blink and you might pass my town
Hold in the wall king my crown
Oh but of all things my sound
Is picking up like a 30 mile long train
Slow climb up but it's such a long drain
So how did I become up pickup all names
What if every tale like it could bar drains
The headless horsemen won an untamed like
Everybody get the fuck up
Everybody get the fuck up
Everybody get the fuck up
Daddy gonna pop that trunk
Yea, batter chip some throwing dirt bare chumps
Sling shot rocks broke no money numbs
Looking up too D boys with the pretty dunks
Slick sit down you ain't in the city thump
Special K make the kitties come
Get you some get mini guns
Move a rock tip those down petting on
Get your own dicks sip on give the dog a bone
Sitting' on bigger chrome get us home
Bird fight pit fight for the good zone
Looking at the world like what I do wrong
Nothing but a male mantra coming back for the pickup
I'm a gift you can't get rid of
Reclined on me homie I'm a make ya sit up
Get drunk do it stay slide so let up scream like
Everybody get the fuck up
Everybody get the fuck up
Let the beat ride like that
Yea I'm a Thunderbird never coming back
Thunder in the trunk thunder in the dope sack
I serve a mot thunder in the dope raps (boom)
Big lacks in the tall grass sit with the tires flat
Real good price body you should buy that
Blink and you might pass my town
Hold in the wall king my crown
Oh but of all things my sound
Is picking up like a 30 mile long train
Slow climb up but it's such a long drain
So how did I become up pickup all names
What if every tale like it could bar drains
The headless horsemen won an untamed like
Everybody get the fuck up
Everybody get the fuck up
