Pep had to step she'll be back in a sec
But in the meantime I like to have sound check

One two's what I say as the record gets played


For a little bit to make sure it stays on track



The wax can't be scratched unless Spin is there



So she can catch it on time so then I can rhyme



The vocalist on the mic is me







I'm the short and sexy one in effect



About to bring it to you straight up, wait up



You ready? Huh, it's time to pay up



The capital S gonna spot



I'm here to wreck shop [Salt, where's Pepa?]



Yo, she's at the next stop



So all aboard, grab a seat and get set



Spinderella, start it up, now let's check



Overdrive, rhyme after rhyme, I'm still the best



I'm holdin' down camp keepin' punks in check



So snap out of it, me the soloist for what?



Salt and Pepa with mics, Spinderella with cuts



Let's get paid, get paid







Yeah, comin' in and goin' in, growin' in and throwin' in



We got the flavor, and everyday we're showin' it



So just stay back 'cause Salt ain't takin' no fronts



'cause I'm dope, I look good, and I'm paid to be blunt



Reigning supreme, all hail the queens from Queens



You think it's def now? Wait till Pepa steps on the scene



So petty rappers take a seat, make sure you sit up straight



The name Salt and Pepa, the year '88



Let's get paid, get paid







Doin' the chores on behalf of my partner



Like money in the bank so thanks, now I'm a spark of the ashes



Strike the match, light the fuse



Spinderella, me, and Pep singing the Get Paid blues



To the petty I'm like a machete making confetti



'cause you don't see Pepa, punk, step up, you still ain't ready



You want a piece of what the Salt releases?



Take a chunk, punk, and now you're leaving in pieces







Step left, jet poo-putt-putt in your Nova



Before you thought, think again, you won't get over



With a clover, four-leaf, chief, to be brief



Yo, Pepa hurry up and come and get a piece of this mic



'cause I'm hoggin' it, Holmes start loggin' it



They want to know do I rock? Salt be doggin' it



Shakin' and bakin' the mic just like a chef



I'll rock this beat until there ain't none left



Let's get paid, get paid



Let's get paid, get paid







If I run out of breath, I take a pause



If Pepa's on stage I say "Go for yours"



But if she ain't then this mic I'm minin'



I say "Spin, drop it" and keep rhymin'



When Pepa comes back she'll say "Salt, chill"



Grab the mic, and go for the kill



But you're lucky 'cause she ain't back yet



Relax, men, you're a nervous wreck



Wipe the sweat off your face and stop panickin'



You look scared, stiff as a manequin



But still you're back again to see me rap again



Spin, cut the final hit, let's just pack 'em in



Cuff 'em and stuff 'em, they know I still love 'em



If they can't stand the heat well then chuck 'em



Salt and Pepa, Spinderella came here to tell ya



Let's get paid, get paid



Let's get paid, get paid

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/

Magical
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.
