If they let me on the turntables tonight (they will), I'm playing this. Such a great, great song...I can't hear you, Oakland, do you want to ride?

    No doubt, one of my favorite Coup songs and song writing at its finest.

    "You're just too beautiful for words."

    One of my most favoritest storytelling raps of all time. Like "Good Thing We're Rapping" but different.

    COSIGNATORIAL.

    I have twice christened new 1200s by playing this 12".

    For me, it's a toss up between this and Millie Pulled a Pistol for my all-time favorite narrative rap tune. Great stuff.

    I get very emotional during the "you're just too beautiful for words" part. Moist eyes and such.

    Love this track so much.

    Who is that actor playing Jesus? I recognize him.

    Yes, a highlight among Coup tracks ... but if this is a club you're talking about and they do let you on, that'll be your last song.

    You wouldn't even get away with it in the nine-four-six-one-oh. Ask Pam.

    He was in Malcolm X, burglar, pre-jail.

    OUTRAGEOUS. I've been thinking about this one a lot lately. I have a vivid memory of playing it for a friend of mine who's not had the easiest lot in life. It really moved him: "Damn, this song just makes me forget all my pains."
