Theme from Shaft Lyrics
Shaft
Who's the black private dick
that's a sex machine to all the chicks?
(Shaft!)
You're damn right
Who is the man
that would risk his neck for his brother man?
(Shaft!)
Can ya dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out
when there's danger all about
(Shaft!)
Right on
You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother--
(Shut your mouth)
But I'm talkin' about Shaft
(Then we can dig it)
He's a complicated man
but no one understands him but his woman
(John Shaft)

(Shaft!)
You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother--
(Shut your mouth)
(Then we can dig it)
but no one understands him but his woman

This is probably the coolest song in history. Shaft is so damn slick.
Can ya dig it?
if I'm interpreting these correctly, this fellow, "Shaft", is a "bad mother", and you need to "dig it".
Yeah, the whole basis for Shaft, was sleaze. He got laid all the time, that was what made him cool. The Samual L Jackson version was also too polished.
Issac Hayes is the shit. I hated the remake of Shaft. He never got laid once! It's fuckin' Shaft! And I mean "fucking" Shaft! You can't remake movies like that and try to clean them up. It just doesn't work!
