The History Of Pop Part 31 aka A man that's on the run is a dirty son of a gun

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Now 31 takes us to the (current) halfway point! in the Now polls, and finds Britpop in 'full swing', backed up with a host of fondly and less fondly remembered tracks. DJ Daz should take note of Love City Groove, unfortunate pioneers in the 'put some rap in Eurovision' category. Reeves and Mortimer cover the Monkees, Duran Duran cover the Furious Five, Shaggy tackles Mungo Jerry, Baby D take on the Korgis and Ladysmith Black Mambazo surely fulfil a lifetime ambition by getting to work with China Black.

You'll also get to vote in the Now 30 face-off - Portishead and Massive Attack share the spoils with East 17's "Stay Another Day" a mere two votes behind. Bucketheads in 4th, Boos in 5th, much hatred for the Gallaghers and Mr J Nail, and some bafflement as to what 'handbag house' actually is, that said if you were to make a compilation of the suggestions it would be TOTALLY GREBT as I will prove soon.

The choice between Shampoo and Kylie turned out to be no choice at all - "Trouble" by a mile. I'm expecting a clear winner in this poll, though.

Also, best middle eight lyrics EVAR, on a par with Boom! Shake the Room

Girl your booty is so round
Let me look you up and down
Can I take you one more time
I won't stop until your mine
But if I cannot be with you, maybe I could have a taste
Put your arms around me girl, and your kisses on my face

Geronimo! Look out below!
Here comes the brother with the offbeat flow!
I just fell from the mother ship
Outhere brothers out to rip it on another TIP
SLIP!
Don't TRIP!
er something something IP!
la dum de dar from the depths of doom
And I snap back like ow with the boom!

It's fantastic, it's like Outhere Brother One is just about to GET HIS SNOG ON and suddenly WA-HEY in comes goofy old Outhere Brother Two to ruin it.

hah I just found this on my iTunes to listen to and it turns out I have the non-censored version (as released in the j-pan):

girl your booty is so round
i just wanna lay you down
let me take you from behind
i won't come until it's time
if i cannot sleep with you
maybe I can have a taste
put your 'nani on my tongue
and your booty on my face

I would transcrible more but I am too scandalised.

AND THEN HIS BROTHER COMES IN! It's even WORSE! Is there no privacy at Outhere Towers?

His brother later raps his intention to 'dim the lights and then lock the room' == clearly they have learnt from harrowing experience!

I dare not imagine what the lyrics to that other Outhere Bros. track are - you know, the one that Dan Perry keeps mentioning on ILX
