gypsy woman is a banger

Never liked this track, but "100% Pure Love" gets me frugging like a juggernaut of the apocalypse.

When I saw k.d. lang in concert around '93 or thereabouts, she performed a song in which that identical 'la-da-DEE-la-de-DA' figure was slowed down to a quarter of the tempo and used as a hypnotic bass line by her standup-bassist. Dunno if that came before or after "Gypsy Woman" (never owned any k.d. records). That ostinato is maddening - I'll never get it out of my head, whether it's sung or played on an instrument.

As for "Gypsy Woman", the song itself, I doubt I even heard the complete song start-to-finish much more than a half-dozen times, total. (Never willingly listened to the radio in those days.) I did like what I heard, however. Naturally, this thread compels me to give it some more listening. one of these days. Ditto "100% Pure Love".

"Gypsy Woman" is less generic, so guess I'd take that one if I had to pick, even if "from the back to the middle and around again I'm gonna be there til the end" in "100 % Pure Love" really is about anal sex. Otherwise, sort of ambvialent about them both.

(Those lyrics are from a lyric site btw; I'd actually always heard it as the even less ambiguous "I'm gonna get you in the end", but maybe I wasn't listening close.)

"100% Pure Ass"

gypsy woman and 100% are both fantastic records, i still play them out whenever the opportunity arists. dropped one of them at a wedding a couple weeks back, people loved it. great tracks, if only pop house could have stayed this good.

three years pass...

pop singer makes facile point = "oh who cares, it's thumpin'"
indie band makes facile point = "not only does the music suck, but I am truly offended by this facile point they're trying to make"

I see nothing wrong with this logic.

I DO see something wrong with there not being more posts about Crystal Waters on ILM.

I remember Smash Hits saying all of her family members had the initials CW
