I’m not so sure…

The Junior Wells/Sonny Boy Williamson

[Verse 1]
Good morning, little schoolgirl, can I go home with you?
Tell your mother and your poppa, I’m a little schoolboy too
Lord, I love you baby, just can’t help myself
Don’t care how you treat me, baby, I don’t want nobody else

[Verse 2]
Good morning, little schoolgirl, hey hey hey!
Oohweeh, I’m gonna leave you baby, one of these old days
On account of how you treat me, baby, I’m gonna stay away

[Verse 3]
Good morning, little schoolgirl, can I go home with you?
Come on now, pretty baby, come one home with me
Good morning, little schoolgirl, hey hey hey!
Ooh, oohweeh, I’m gonna buy an airplane, fly all over
Your town

[Verse 4]
Tell everybody, baby, Lord knows you’re fine
I can’t stand it, baby, just can’t help myself
You’re so young and pretty, you love somebody else
Good morning, little schoolgirl, hey hey hey!
Ooh, oohweeh!

Ten Years After version…

Good morning little schoolgirl
Can I go home, home with you?
Good morning little schoolgirl
Can I go home, home with you?
Tell your mama and your papa
Big be schoolboy, too

I won’t bore you, yeah
Baby, I won’t bore you all night long
Yes, I do
Baby, I wanna ball you
I wanna ball you all night long
Tell your mama and your papa
Baby, baby, doing nothing wrong, child

I’m doing nothing wrong, yeah

I won’t bore you, yea, yea, huh
Baby, I wanna ball you all night long
Yes, I do, child
I won’t bore you, darling, yea
I won’t bore you all night long
Tell your mama and your papa
Baby, baby, we’re gonna do nothing wrong
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Baby, I wanna ball you every night
Oh, yeah, come on now

Steely Dan, can’t buy a thrill. :relaxed:

Men Without Hats were a Canadian band, I believe, although ‘The Safety Dance’ video was filmed in Naim territory (Wiltshire). Brings back some great memories.

Gerry Rafferty. Snakes and ladders. Qobuz.
Got original vinyl but not played in 20 years. Not good as debut but still very good. Third album 1980 I think.

Cheers Isca,
Yes, I recall the song now thanks.
Still dont get why its called the safety dance, maybe showing my ignorance?

Video made me think a little of The Wicker Man

:heart:

According to the writer of the song, Ivan Doroschuk “…pogoing was the first sort of punk dance, which was basically jumping up and down. Slam dancing and the mosh pit all kind of grew out of pogoing. So that’s where The Safety Dance kind of grew out of. The inspiration for the song was from back in the days when Punk and “New Wave” were starting off and the discotheques were still playing disco music. But every now and then they’d slip in Blondie’s Heart of Glass or Rock Lobster by The B-52’s. Well, obviously, anybody who was into that kind of music would rush on the dance floor and start jumping up and down and would bang into the guys trying to do their disco two steps. I got thrown out of a lot of clubs because of that. So that’s basically the origin. I was kind of mad that they wouldn’t let me dance if I wanted to, so I took matters in my own hands and wrote an anthem for it.”

Cheers, although I still dont get it.
So a safety dance just means not banging into other people rather than an actual dance style.

Never mind, it’s probably me :joy:

On cassette! What a fun medium that was. It’s funny how the medium died just as it was getting good.

Apparently making a bit of a comeback. Pre recorded cassettes were mostly pretty crap though ime

Ill Considered - Band Selects (Tidal)

Enjoying this under lo-fi conditions during lunch in the cab, fine contemporary improvised “Jazz” and beyond. Some fine racket and relentless grooves, damn good!

Cant see this listed in the bands discography on Bandcamp or Discogs. @BlueCanary ?

Hi Dread - not seen it before. Suspect it’s a streaming compo maybe just for Tidal. For example Djinn is on IC III and one of the live albums. Enjoy. The new one Liminal Space with a bunch of guests and a lot more production is excellent. BC

I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue Compendium - Audible books
Hilarious fairly early episodes of Clue, brilliantly witty. Sad to think that only Graeme Garden is left of the original cast, but what a legacy they left us. RIP Barry.
