Talk Dirty To Me, Pt.. 4

A motherfucking double post -- 6 fucking tunes! Fuck yeah! Sure, I left out a lot of fucking great songs -- fact is, I've come to realize that I could put together an entire fucking CD with nothing but singers who drop the F-bomb in a fucking prominent way. Maybe I should. Maybe I fucking will, eh? Fucking A!

What the fuck?

Song List:

01. Robbie Fulks - Fuck This Town
02. Witchypoo - Fuck The Motherfucking President
03. Candy Snatchers - Fuck My Family
04. Steve Vai - Fuck Yourself
05. William S Burroughs with REM - Fuck Me Kitten
06. Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Fuck Off Noddy

Talk Dirty To Me, Pt. 3

Heh heh. The story of my life, in 4 songs or less. I don't know how you feel about this subject, but I can't get enough of it. 'T'would be convenient, 'f't'were otherwise, t'wat?

Make no mistake, this is a man's blog; women most likely will call a cunt a cunt. I know, I know... ...wuss-boys.

Speaking of which, the first song was written by a man, despite the lady's voice, so that explains that. The second features Fred Schneider of The B52s on guest-vocal. The third is written and sung by Nick Cave, who was name-checked on the album from whence came the second song. And the fourth number is a revision of an old R&B tune performed by The Olympics, The Marathons and The Olsen Twins, and it seems, still chanted 'round the campfire by The Boy Scouts of America. (When I was a Boy Scout, we made up dirty lyrics to "Mellow Yellow".)

"Got it from some kitty next door..."

Song list:

01. The Waitresses - Pussy Strut
02. Bongwater - The Power of Pussy
03. Grinderman - No Pussy Blues
04. The Holy Modal Rounders - Snappin' Pussy

Talk Dirty To Me, Pt. 2

Okay, so here we're jumping into the heart of this mix, with 1) A song (slash-rant) that might be a problem for playing in mixed politically-correct company, and 2) The greatest rock-n-roll song of all time, except for the lyrics, (and, well... perhaps the gender of the singer) which might tend to disturb many rockers, and 3) A fine answer song to #2, aside from the fact that it's not nearly as funny or as rockin' (yet it always makes me smile in juxtaposition). "Ooo, my head!" as Richie Valens once said.

No doubt about it, there's gonna be a bad word here, next episode.

"Efhugh!" - "Gozintight!"

Song list:

01. T. Valentine - Hello Lucille Are You A Lesbian?
02. Josie Cotton - Johnny, Are You Queer?
03. Leslie Nuss - He's Not Gay (He Just Doesn't Like You)

Talk Dirty To Me, Pt. 1

I joke that I'm too old to fuck, and the truth is that I have more memories than expectations, but "hope springs eternal" (A. Pope) and, furthermore, grows well in the medium of memories (me). In other words, I think about sex a lot, and tend to like music that celebrates it. Like early Prince records, for example, even though his music doesn't really rock hard enough.

These 3 covers of Prince songs do rock a bit harder - that's why Marshall Crenshaw's version of "Take Me With U" is here; there's nothing dirty about it. Pansy Division's "Jack U Off", though, is punk and filthy as hell and, thanks to some clever re-writing, queer as hell, too. Finally, Hindu Love Gods (Warren Zevon backed by three-quarters of REM) completely thrash the fuck out of "Raspberry Beret" -- a track that stuck out like a sore something-or-other on the album it came from. It's nice to hear all these tunes together in like-minded company. Kind of a mild start for a deliberately rude mix but, don't worry, it gets juicier.
