I’m using this website 37 Best Girl Bands & Groups Of All Time This was and probably will be one of my most favorite songs…I feel pretty talented singing it along with them! Lol

Hey, yeah – I wanna shoop, baby

(Oooo, how you doin’, baby?
No, not you
You, the bow-legged one, (ha-ha) yeah
What’s your name?
Damn, that sounds sexy)

Here I go, here I go, here I go again (again?)
Girls, what’s my weakness? (Men!)
Ok then, chillin’, chillin’, mindin’ my business (word)
Yo, Salt, I looked around, and I couldn’t believe this
I swear, I stared, my niece my witness
The brother had it goin’ on with somethin’ kinda… uh
Wicked, wicked (oooo) – had to kick it
I’m not shy so I asked for the digits
A ho? No, that don’t make me
See what I want slip slide to it swifty
Felt it in my hips so I dipped back to my bag of tricks
Then I flipped for a tip, make me wanna do tricks for him
Lick him like a lollipop should be licked
Came to my senses and I chilled for a bit
Don’t know how you do the voodoo that you do
So well it’s a spell, hell, makes me wanna shoop shoop shoop

Shoop shoop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop ba-doop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop ba-doop ba-doop

Ummm, you’re packed and you’re stacked ‘specially in the back
Brother, wanna thank your mother for a butt like that (thanks, Mom)
Can I get some fries with that shake-shake booty?
If looks could kill you would be an uzi
You’re a shotgun – bang! What’s up with that thang?
I wanna know how does it hang?
Straight up, wait up, hold up, Mr. Lover
Like Prince said you’re a sexy mutha-
Well-a, I like ’em real wild, b-boy style by the mile
Smooth black skin with a smile
Bright as the sun, I wanna have some fun
Come (come) and (hmmm) give me some of that yum-yum
Chocolate chip, honey dip, can I get a scoop? (please)
Baby, take a ride in my coupe, you make me wanna…

Shoop shoop ba-doop (Baby, hey)
Shoop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop ba-doop ba-doop
Shoop shoop ba-doop (Don’t you know I wanna shoop, baby)
Shoop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop ba-doop ba-doop

Well let me bring you back to the subject, Pep’s on the set
Make you get hot, make you work up a sweat
When you skip-to-my-lou, my darling
Not falling in love but I’m falling for your (super sperm)
When I get ya betcha bottom dollar you were best under pressure
(Yo, Sandy, I wanna like, taste you)
Getcha getcha lips wet cuz it’s time to have Pep

On your mark, get set, go, let me go, let me shoop
To the next man in the three-piece suit
I spend all my dough, ray me, cutie
Shoop shoop a-doobie like Scoobie Doobie Doo
I love you in your big jeans, you give me nice dreams
You make me wanna scream, “Oooo, oooo, oooo!”

And he’s comin’ this way! Oooo!)

But I’m wicked, G, (yeah) hit skins but never quickly (that’s right)
I hit the skins for the hell of it, just for the yell I get
Mmm mmm mmm, for the smell of it (smell it)
They want my bod, here’s the hot rod (hot rod)
Twelve inches to a yard (damn) and have ya soundin’ like a retard (yeah)

Song Lyric Sunday

Boy Bands

Jim is the host: https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com/2023/05/06/not-called-man-bands/

Boy bands are more about having slick factory produced dance moves and being made up of reasonably attractive pre-packaged good-looking boys that rarely write their own songs, and hardly ever play their own instruments.

I had to look at a list but when I did I saw that I am not a huge fan of Boy Bands. I did love this song though:

Lyrics

Everybody’s saying silly things
Without knowing that life brings a change
And I’ve been checking all the signs
My friends say I’m love sick ’cause I
All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(Got to see what love is all about)
And I won’t be the same until she is mine
And my friends keep telling me to

Cool it now
You got to cool it now
Oh watch out
You’re gonna lose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down
You’re gonna fall in love

Everyday I walk her home from school
And she tells me how she really feels
And there’s no doubt in my mind
That this girl is one of a kind
‘Cause all I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(Got to see what love is about)
And I won’t feel the same until she is mine
But my friends keep telling me to

Cool it now
You got to cool it now
Oh watch out
You’re gonna lose control
Cool it now
You better slow it down
Slow it down
You’re gonna fall in love

Cool it now
You got to cool it now
Oh watch out
You’re gonna lose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down…
You’re gonna fall in love

All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(Got to see what love is all about)
And I’ll never be the same until you are mine
And my friends keep telling me

When ya got a girl who takes her time
You must slow the pace you can’t mess with her mind
If she feels the same she’ll letcha know
Just prepare yourself or be ready to go
And I hope this message stays in your mind
Cause you almost lost a girl who is right on time
There’s one more thing that ya got to know
Just cool it down and stay in control

Cool it now
You got to cool it now
Oh watch out
You’re gonna lose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down
You’re gonna fall in love baby

All I keep thinking about is her in my arms
(Got to see what love is all about)
And I’ll never be the same until you are mine, oh
Listen to me let me tell you

Why you all coming down on me
Tryin’ to tell me how my life is supposed to be
I know you’re only trying to help me out
Tryin’ to show me what life is really about
But this time I’m gonna make it on my own
So why dontcha fellaz just leave me alone
Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike
If I like the girl who cares who you like

Cool it now
Oh watch out, out, out, out
Cool it now
Slow it down, down, down, down
Cool it now
Oh watch out, out, out, out
Cool it now
Slow it down, down, down, down

Cool it now
Oh watch out
‘Cause you’re gonna lose control
Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down
You’re gonna fall in love

Cool it now
Slow it down
You’re gonna lose control

Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down.
‘Cause you’re gonna fall in love

Cool it now
Slow it down
‘Cause you’re gonna lose control

Cool it now
You got to slow it down
Slow it down

Cool it now
Ooh watch out
Cool it now
Slow it down

Song(s) Lyric Sunday

Jim is the host of Song Lyric Sunday. Join in here: https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com/2023/04/01/different-from-mainstream/

This week the theme is to find Alternative music.

When I google the lists of music to fit the theme I like to go through many songs, especially if I don’t know the songs. I was thinking that I didn’t really like Alternative Music as I always saw it as Grunge. I guess I wasn’t exactly right, some were considered Grunge. But as I went down the list I found a few songs I LOVE! Here they are: (I couldn’t pick which was my favorite because as I saw the songs I remembered how much I liked each)

Lyrics

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself, “How do I work this?”
And you may ask yourself, “Where is that large automobile?”
And you may tell yourself, “This is not my beautiful house”
And you may tell yourself, “This is not my beautiful wife”

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Leting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

You may ask yourself, “What is that beautiful house?”
You may ask yourself, “Where does that highway go to?”
And you may ask yourself, “Am I right, am I wrong?”
And you may say to yourself, “My God, what have I done?”

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, look where my hand was
Time isn’t holding up, time isn’t after us
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (I couldn’t get no rest)
Same as it ever was, hey let’s all twist our thumbs
Here comes the twister

Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground

Lyrics

When I’m out walking
I strut my stuff
And I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out

Let me go on
Like I blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands, I know you’re the one

Body and beats
I stain my sheets
I don’t even know why
My girlfriend, she’s at the end
She is starting to cry

Let me go on
Like I blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands, I know you’re the one

When I’m out walking
I strut my stuff
And I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out

When I’m out walking
I strut my stuff
And I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out

Body and beats
I stain my sheets
I don’t even know why
My girlfriend, she’s at the end
She is starting to cry

When I’m out walking
I strut my stuff
And I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out

Let me go on
Like I blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands, I know you’re the one

Lyrics

Coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can’t look, it’s killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside

I’m coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
(It was only a kiss), it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
‘Cause I just can’t look, it’s killing me
And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr. Brightside

I never
I never
I never
I never

Lyrics

Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo

I’m packed and I’m holding
I’m smiling, she’s living, she’s golden
She lives for me, says she lives for me
Ovation, her own motivation
She comes round and she goes down on me

And I make you smile, like a drug for you
Do ever what you wanna do, coming over you
Keep on smiling, what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you

And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play, she said

I want something else to get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I’m not listening when you say good-bye

Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo

The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth, will lift you up until you break

It won’t stop, I won’t come down
I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again
I said

How do I get back there to the place where I fell asleep inside you
How do I get myself back to the place where you said

I want something else to get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I’m not listening when you say good-bye

I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And that four right chords can make me cry
When I’m with you I feel like I could die
And that would be alright, alright

And when the plane came in, she said she was crashing
The velvet it rips in the city, we tripped on the urge to feel alive
Now I’m struggling to survive
Those days you were wearing that velvet dress
You’re the priestess, I must confess
Those little red panties they pass the test
Slides up around the belly, face down on the mattress
One

And you hold me, and we are broken
Still it’s all that I wanna do, just a little now
Feel myself, heading off the ground
I’m scared, I’m not coming down
No, no
And I won’t run for my life
She’s got her jaws now locked down in a smile
But nothing is alright, alright

And I want something else to get me through this life
Baby, I want something else
Not listening when you say
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo

The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Someplace back there, in the place we used to start

Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
I want something else

Lyrics

And I feel that time’s a-wasting, go
So where ya going to tomorrow?
And I see that these are lies to come
So would you even care?

And I feel it
And I feel it

Where ya going for tomorrow?
Where ya goin’ with the mask I found
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

And I feel, so much depends on the weather
So is it raining in your bedroom?
And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray
Would you even care?

And I feel it
And she feels it
Where ya going for tomorrow?
Where ya goin’ with the mask I found?

And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it

To find it
To find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow

To find it
To find it
To find it

Where ya going for tomorrow?
Where ya goin’ with the mask I found?

And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it
To find it
To find it

When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it
To find it
To find it
To find it
To find it
To find it

Thursday Inspiration #202 Birds

Join Jim’s inspiration: https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com/2023/03/30/thursday-inspiration-202-morning-has-broken/

Respond to this challenge, by either using the prompt word bird, or going with the above picture, or by means of the song ‘Morning Has Broken’, or by going with another song by Cat Stevens, or anything else that you think fits.  

David introduced this song to me not that long ago and I absolutely can’t get enough of it.

Lyrics

Oh little bird
Sitting on a powerline
Sweet little thing

Don’t you know you caught my eye
Well spread your wings and come over to me
I said spread your wings and come over to me

Oh little bird
Did you hear the song of mine
Spitting up words
Taunted blood and wine
Well it tells of my love
But you dont need the pain of mine
Yes it tells of my love
But you dont need the pain of mine

When your bones feel hollow
Do you tremble do you shake
Do you cry when youre all alone
Do you scream out loud
I can show you how little birdie
If you show me home
When your bones feel hollow
When you tremble you shake
Do you cry when Youre all alone
Can you scream out loud
I can show you how
Little birdie if you show me home

Sing whoa whoa whoa whoa

Oh little bird
Did you hear the sorrow I
Hold in my heart
Which is buried deep inside

Sing it aloud and sing it to me
I said sing it aloud and sing it to me

Say whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

Do your bones feel hollow
Do you tremble do you shake
Do you cry when you’re all alone
Do you scream out loud
I can show you how
Little birdie if you show me home
Do your bones feel hollow
Do you tremble do you shake
Do you cry when you’re all alone
Do you scream out loud
I can show you how
Little birdie if you show me home

Do your bones feel hollow
Do you tremble do you shake
Do you cry when you’re all alone
Can you scream out loud
I can show you how
Little birdie if you show me home

Do your bones feel hollow
Do you tremble do you shake
Do you cry when you’re all alone
Can you scream out loud
I can show you how
Little birdie if you show me home

Song Lyric Sunday: Bubblegum Pop

Jim is hosting John’s idea of music called Bubblegum Pop. I don’t know when the last song was written in this genre or even if there was a “last song”. All I know is that like last week, many of these tunes were a bit before my time. Join in here: https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com/2023/02/18/chewy-delectable-luscious-yummy/

I love this song. I always listened to it being sung by Neil Diamond but I found this…Apparently, Andy Kim was the original singer.

Lyrics

Ain’t it good

Ain’t it right

That you are with me here tonight

The music playing

Our bodies swayin’ in time

In time, in time, in time

Touching you so warm and tender

Lord, I feel such a sweet surrender

Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine

Mmm

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don’t you know

That I have never been loved like this before

Baby, baby

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don’t you know

That I have never been loved like this before

Oh my darling

Oh my baby

You got the moves that drive me crazy

And on your face I see a trace of love

Of love, of love, of love

Come hold me close

Don’t let me go

I need you, honey

I love you so

You were made for me by the stars above

Oh, rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don’t you know

That I have never been loved like this before

And baby, baby

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don’t you know

That I have never been loved like this before

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don’t you know

That I have never been loved like this before

Ain’t it good

Ain’t it right

That you are with me here tonight

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don’t you know

That I have never been loved like this before

Baby, baby

Rock me gently

Rock me slowly

Take it easy

Don’t you know

That I have never been loved like this before

Song Lyric Sunday

This week the theme is to find Sunshine Pop songs, and this was also suggested by John Holton. Go to Jim’s site to read more about it.

So I googled a list and didn’t recognize the titles of any songs. I decided to listen to some and I did recognize “California Dreamin” by the Mamas and the Papas and also “Windy” by The Association. One song that I actually remember liking though is 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy)

Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobble stones
Looking for fun and feelin’ groovy

Hello lamppost, what cha knowing?
I’ve come to watch your flowers growing
Ain’t cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in’ doo-doo, feelin’ groovy

Got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I’m dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life, I love you, all is groovy
