Thought about it for a second and she was right.
Now EVERY version sounds like they are saying these words.
Mentally irreversable and in turn, hilarious.
Sing it to yourself and you'll laugh.
My wife feels that way about damn near every private record I own.
1st verse starts like this:
...asshole's gone fuckin'... asshole's got hole...
"takin' care uff biz ness too..." hahah
hot-TA panNNts! SMOKIN AH!!... hahjt ponts.
Thankfully my lady is too kind to comment on every stupid record I buy.
But she loves the Victor Oliya soundway 45 that's a totally surreal james brown mash-up. And the 4th track on ghana soundz 2 where they insist on getting the audience to "do the funky".
So now "do the funky" is our slang for anything. what's going on tonight? oh I gotta DOOO THUH FUNKY. which could mean anything... sex, movie, party, dinner out, or TV.
you are the life in my bed
now i can kiss you and tell you
I love you more.
El Amor - "I Love You More"
"I have a women will a suede hop pans,
She gets a stringing inna her guitar,
She wear jello blue yean and tha wooden shoes
she go to the party just to make to dance.. well ALRIGHT!!"
I love it because this is how everyone in my family talks.
the only thing worse than this is the Spanish Grease soundtrack which, unfortunately, they used the word Vaseline as a translation for Grease, so the song, translated, ends up saying: We used Vaseline, it was the movement, with your girl etc.etc.
not so
Shit, everyone in the place came over to see why I was laughing so loud.
2c: The more you can do the more you have to do.
Yes, being multitalented can be a pain in the funky nassau.
Heh.
There was a kid I went to high school with named Jasper Kettles who always got the words to songs completely wrong.
My favorite was the Beastie Boys joint where they all chant:
"Ali Baba and the 40 Theives!"
"Ali Baba and the 40 Theives!"
Jasper used to swear up and down that they were actually saying:
"Ali's popples and the Force MDs!"
"Ali's popples and the Force MDs!"
I still don't know what a "popple" is.
Isn't it what they really mean anyway ??? I always thought the title Funky Nassau was nothing more than a euphemism for the real lyrics.
uhh... no. I'm pretty sure they're expounding on the funkiness of the island. A euphemism for what real lyrics? "Nassau's gone funky, Nassau's got soul"???
