Danke Rudi. Das waren zwei gelungene Stunden Nachhilfeunterricht. Und nachdem sich die Stones Version von Love In Vain bei mir schon sehr lange  festgebrannt hat(ja, ich liebe sie), bin ich von der Faces-Version mehr als zutiefst beeindruckt .

joliet-jake 29. Faces – Love In Vain (Live – Fillmore East, New York 11/10/70) A: 1970-1975: You Can Make Me Dance, Sing Or Anything… (2015) Ceterum censeo, Rod Stewart war mal einer der besten Rocksänger seiner Zeit. Ich weiß nicht, ob Sie’s wussten.

Hihi, natürlich war er das. Die Betonung liegt auf war . Dass er zu späteren Zeiten das wunderbare Downtown Train verhunzt hat, verzeihe ich ihm dennoch nie.

„Rod Stewart paid my swimming pool“ soll Tom Waits gesagt haben – und das hat uns schließlich eine tolle Sendung von Copperhead beschert.

Nochmal danke für’s Feedback!! Bedeutet mir viel.

Von Gil Scott-Heron kenne ich noch nicht allzu viel(eben das eine Album mit dem gewissen Song). So kenne ich ihn also noch gar nicht. Grandios!

demonWer hat da von wem das Handclapping geklaut?

Tja … jetzt weisst es die Welt

pinball-wizardVon Gil Scott-Heron kenne ich noch nicht allzu viel(eben das eine Album mit dem gewissen Song). So kenne ich ihn also noch gar nicht. Grandios!

Das ist sein letztes Album – und es ist grossartig. So ein Album gibt es sonst von ihm auch keins, soweit ich weiss.

Toller Start mit Gil Scott-Heron, Flurin. Ich werde mich hier jetzt verabschieden, lasse den Stream weiter laufen. Danke den DJs.

1. Now (Prince [as ]–Nona Gaye)

Don’t worry about my name, it’s too long to remember
I could tell you now but we’d be here ‚til next September
Three it be like that, see?
This ain’t about the trippers tripping like they know they be
This ain’t about this, that, what, where or how
This about the freaks doing everything they wanna do now

[Verse 2]
Three, four, three, four, 99
She the new hero cuz she’s so divine
Unaffected by the system, she’d rather die
Than write a rap for some big booty heffa gettin‘ by
On that booty, instead of doin‘ duty
Aspire to be higher I admire so I fire
Cuz it’s flyer to be hungry than phat
And take it from this sister, y’all take it from that
It’s flyer to be hungry than phat
The ride up front is better when You’ve been in the back
And that’s a fact
This ain’t about this y’all, it ain’t about that
This ain’t about the booty movin‘ pumpin‘ the max
This ain’t about this, that, what, where, or how
This about the freaks doin‘ everything they wanna do now!

[Chorus]
Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)
(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)
Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)

(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
What you going to say? (Get funky)
Now you want to play? (Get funky)

[Verse 3]
40, 45, snake’s alive
Say one thing, do another, it’s time
We chill on that
No, I don’t need a gat
I’d rather see your self-checkin‘ ass up to bat for another swing
Anybody can sing
There’s more to genius than the word, my sister anything I would bring
Or would u rather dine alone well
If you change your mind, you can reach me on your video phone
It’s a dime, as in dollars, and that’s my two bloody cents
This ain’t about this, that, what, where, or how
This about the freaks doin‘ everything they wanna do now!

[Chorus]
Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)
(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)
Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)
(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)
Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)
(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)
Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)
(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
What you come to say? (Get funky, get funky)
Come on, now how you want to play? (Get funky, get funky)
Band!
(Now)

[Verse 4]
Sixty seven sixty seven
Freaks dance like they’re in heaven
DJ don’t stop the music, DJ don’t stop the music
Fill us with de dope track, lick us, twist us, roll us in your mouth
Light us up and take a hit, light us up and take a hit
Mmm, suck us til we’re dry
And when we’re lookin‘ like a roach, hit the lights
Before u say goodnight though
Let’s make a toast yo
This ain’t about this, that, what, where, or how
This about the freaks doin‘ everything they wanna do now!

[Chorus]
Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)
(Go go yeah) (Now) (Go go yeah)
Now! (1 2 3 4, come on, come on, freaks on the floor)
