Sometimes, you hear some mad lyrics, and you just have to laugh.

Example of one I've just been listening to, BIG DADDY ROGERS, I'M A BIG MAN (MIDAS).

'I'm gonna take you to the woodshed, & drop a couple of planks on you'.

Great record, but what's all that about then?

Any more, anyone?

Just a bit of fun.

when i ran the friendship soul nights just to make things a bit different for the paying supporters i used to do a Free give away friendship soul review magazine, it included bits about the history of soul in Barnsley and Yorkshire, Guest DJ write ups record reviews, adverts etc etc and some tongue in cheek fun sections, in one I did a tribute to all the good music rags that have come and gone  (smash hits and the like LOL)

 

so i picked two tunes to sing along to with "amazin  tough lyrics" and during the night of the venue I played the tunes and everyone had to sing along you see we were sick of the scene taking itself too seriously at the time so we had the odd daft sections just to make sense of it all.

 

But here for you today is the reproduced page from The Friendship Pure soul review edition 8 of February 2004

 

get the two tunes on the decks and sing along

 

If you click on the image you can see a clear image of the page

Always been curious about Don Thomas Come On Train, at about 2.45 into the tune - sounds like he says "Come On For F***s Sake"?

Not exactly on topic but the best 'eyebrow raising' lyric must come at the end of Jackie Wilsons 'I've Lost You' - comes at the end of the record as song: "I'm gonna kiss you in the morning where the sun don't shine" or at least that's what I've always heard it as. Top man!

 

And that's what I've always sung it as, could be my ears though.  

Wilson Love "Funny Money" ?

 

Cheers Paul

Yes paul that is it. Good record

Listen to the lyrics 1.01 in

 

“LIKE RUSS WINSTANLEY”

 

It should be Mustang Sally - but when I was 17 off my head at the Casino and Russ was playing the record I thought fuck that must be good to have a record with your name in it — crazy but true  

 

James Bounty

 

right at the beginning when it goes ding ding ding ding ding ding - you sing bombers and green and clears - it was just a song we use to sing on the way sad but again true

Edited April 9, 201312 yr by ZoomSoulBlue

Joe Douglas - 'Toss off and shout as loud as you can'.. Crazy Things!

 

Ruby Andrews - Just loving you, near the end of the song, Rube can definitely be heard to sing "such a tit head" - no question!

 

2 mins 18 secs ...

 

"such a tit head" - RULES

Dynamics - you make me feel so good

"you make my liver quiver" in relation to how the girl makes him feel inside, best line in any song ever

at Present I'm having a mad rush on writting songs  and learning  ...   last year when pat lewis was here I took her her in the studio and cut two tracks on her  ,  one of the tracks is titled  ..  "Now you got the key to my heart " .  the lyrics of the track started with ... once I had no one to love Then i've  found  you and all of my cloudy days turned sunny and Blue  ..   ( I wanted to use some lyrics reflecting on one of pats old records and of course chose no one to love... lol )  

Whilst we ran the Sunday Soul sessions at the Cranks Wine Bar and The Angels Reply in Hitchin and Letchworth we were often asked for records where the titles were completely wrong: a few were 'You've Got VD' (Bobby Valentine 'Bad Breath'; 'Skinhead In The Snow' (Invitations - Skin In The Snow') and my all time have, after almost 10 mins of arguing with the guy that the record simply didn't exist and getting him to sing it to me!, the immortal 'I've Got A car Load!' (Manifesto!!!) I pissed my pants laughing :-))

 

'

Obviously not northern soul, but a wonderful and hilarious piece of country soul by J Blackfoot entitled 'I Don't Remember Loving You'.

 

The title suggests the story line and J Blackfoot is clearly institutionalised and in denial, but it culminates with him assuring his visitor that he doesn't remember her.

 

'Everyone I know here in this place is very strange. If you hand me my CRAYON I will gladly take your name, In case i run into the guy you knew'. So funny.

glad to see this thread.  The Valentines - Breakaway.  he definitely sings 'Breakaway...  From the hot steaming chunder'. 

 

nice!

Does Bobby Paris actually swear in Per-son-ally?

Here is a brain teaser for you.... in which song LYRIC does smokey the bear appear ?

Smokey the Bear would pull out all his hair if he could see this heart of mine.

 

Something's Burning - Mighty Marvellows

 

Break away from the hot steaming jungle. Valentines.

Thanks your the first person to agree with me (we still could be wrong thou)

Surely it's 'WAIT, you've only known him one week or two'. Dx

One version says "Hang", the other "Damn", I don't think at the time "damn" was allowed to be broadcast over the airwaves, oh how times have changed.

I've just listened to it several times and there's a "th" sound on the end of the word, at least that's what I hear, so maybe you are wrong, but it still doesn't tell us what the lyric is he sings.

I knew a lad who use to sing "Suck me in and blow me out in bubbles" instead of "Pick me up and put me in your pocket" and "I get my tits out on the floor", bless him, it was obviously his hormones.

According to Arthur Conley on Sweet Soul Music, Lou Rawls sang "Love's a hurtin' ding-dong".

And in "Girl I Love You" by The Temptones - "at first I thought she was a lavatory seat".

Well it sounded like ding-dong - but that's just my one-track mind working overtime! 

Please forgive me if this one has been spotted and mentioned a million times before but I don't have time to check....

Do my ears deceive me, but at 30 seconds in, the singer on this great sound gets really rather emphatic that he's not definitely NOT gonna stay away:

Quite a few people have suggested that it sounds like "I can't f***ing stay away", and yes it does sound like it!  Though he's probably really singing "I can't - I can't stay away".

Sounds like bucking , classic track haven't heard that for donkeys years

here's two corkers for you the wolfman sang take a bite out of a apple and a apple bites you back   then theres this little beaut   quack why diddy why diddy diddy do

I don't care if her eyes are red
I don't care if her nose is long
I don't care if she's underfed
I don't care if her clothes are worn
First I look at the purse!

I remember a mate of mine saying to me after a morning at Wigan " i like that new record they played tonight by Dana Valery   ,,,,,, You dont know where your engines are" and another one "Lets Go Subway baby"
