We have to take our clothes off We have to party all night And we have to take our clothes off To have a good time Oh no
Excuse me miss I couldn't help but to notice how alone you are I dig the attitude and how you're acting like you own the bar Got me flashing keys and I don't even own a car Like you ain't feeling my charm, because I know you are I'm trying to see how your lips feel Oh I'm sorry, my name is Travie and I'm pretty much a big deal Oh, you've never heard of me That sounds absurd to me The way you stole my attention was flat out burglary What do you say let's exit stage left so me and you can Possibly reconvene and play some naked peekaboo Cause after all the blouse you're wearing is kinda see through And it's obvious I'm heading wherever you're leading me too Such an angel with a devilish angle And quite the certified sweet talker And you're buying every line of it girl And I don't really blame you If I was in your shoes I'd probably do the same too
Now here's another barn burner for the slow learners Put your helmets on and take a seat on the short bus Next stop, right around the corner from your momma live No turning back so you better buckle up Shit, don't be concerned with mine I feel like a Speak and Spell way I got you learning my lines Fine, pull the string, replay that shit I change my name to "did he really just say that shit?" Yep I'll take a mile if you let me Six-five, two hundred plus and so sexy My legs going numb for keeping my phone on vibrate To hide the fact your girlfriend keeps textin' me And I've been trying to never mind it man But every time I get a new number, she finds it damn And you thought you had it sewn up Until right around amazing o'clock when I showed up
Got chicks, all hot chicks Indie-rock chicks, and hip-hop chicks Slim chicks, round chicks Black, white, yellow, and brown chicks Got chicks, all hot chicks Indie-rock chicks, and hip-hop chicks Slim chicks, round chicks Black, white, yellow, and brown chicks
Good grief girl, you're giving me goosebumps Standing there in your underwear and new pumps It's like the more time we waste and less time I get to taste you Honestly I could easily replace you It's not a scam girl That's how I am girl Peter Pan, I'm a sucker for smacker's jam girl It's clear I'm only here for good clean fun Shut up and kiss me like the antidotes under my tongue Whoa
We have to take our clothes off And we have to party all night And we have to take our clothes off To have a good time Oh no We have to take our clothes off And we have to party all night And we have to take our clothes off To have a good time Oh no

I do like that track, and considering the amount of dumb bullshit novelty rap ILX has gone to bat for over the years (Len, Fannypack, MIA), I dunno why they don't cut this tune some slack. Oh, yeah, right, old people be shook.

A lot of bullshit here, but this post actually makes a lot of sense.
no one's mentioned PHIL FUCKING LINNOT of Thin Lizzy. But the list of black rock musicians would be near endless... the real question is why isn't "rock" marketed to black people, and why the continual ghetto-ization of genres into "this music is for black people" and "this music is for white people" still exists. It's very blatant. Go to any record store - 99% of the black artists are in "r&b/hip hop" and 99% of the white artists are in "rock". Total bullshit - the division is an artificial one perpetuated by racist marketing.
Surely there's an element of racism in the marketing. I mean, why are Lionel Richie and Seal R&B/soul while George Michael and Hall & Oates are not?

It seems "blue eyed" is the clue that causes the shops to classify them as "rock & pop" rather than "soul/R&B"
Of course the lack of logic here is not race-related only. What is it that makes most record stores categorize the entire Jackson family as pop/rock, but hardly any other black acts other than Hendrix/Kravitz etc, for instance?
And the lack of logic when it comes to what is hard rock and what is not is even more laughable. One record store chain here classifies Flower Kings and Spock's Beard as hard rock/metal while Led Zeppelin are not.

Together we made it (you see we did it niggaz!) We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (c'mon) Forever we waited {ha ha!} And they told us we were never gonna get it But we took it on the road (to the riches) on the road (to the ghetto) On the rooooad (and the projects to this bangin instrumental) On the road (ride with me) on the road (we come and get it) On the rooooad (yeah, yeah, yeah!)

no wait i dont like that at all
Yeah the embarrassment here wasn't only on the thread poster's hands. Between that and like, "wtf dude, Chuck Berry!" or whatever (when the question was directly regarding hiphop / indie rock) ILM's got a little slack to tend to. Only skimmed it, maybe there was more.
cue copy/paste of me being an idiot/loon someplace, I know it's happened.

I recently received the first Nona Hendryx album, which I kind of ordered by mistake (I thought it was "Nona" from 1983 that was rereleased, and didn't realize it was her debut until I had already ordered it).
The content surprised me though. Here is a black female soul singer who used to be in Labelle, recording a new wave-ish rock album as her solo debut. "Nona" would be more traditional soul music (and a great example of that), but this album is actually not at all bad, a fully fledge rock album, only sung with a soulful R&B voice.
