    oops...sorry Dr L for YMCA...man...and I actually looked for it and Respect twice.

    and how anyone gotten into an argument whether Beer Run is spells

    B double-E double-R you in...BEER RUN
    versus
    B double-E double-R U-N....BEER RUN

    I like the first spelling better.

    Another one,

    "L-O-L-A, Lola. La la la la Lola"

    They spell another word in the song for that matter:

    "...tastes just like cherry cola. C-O-L-A, cola..."

    I forgot about the Time! On their first album there's a song called "Cool" (I think). They spell out c-o-o-l.

    That is right, and they even say "what's that spell..."

    Hey, I still would except I have it all on LP and I haven't had a record player for years.

    I was a huge Prince fan in the early/mid eighties, so I listened to a lot of his spin-off bands (The Time, Vanity 6, Shelia E., The Family, etc...) as well. Some were definitely better than others. :)

    Kind of stretching it, but the end of "Word Up" by Cameo.

    Do you remember Mazarati ("Player Ball" & "100 MPH"), Jesse Johnson (solo) but called his band Revue?

    Jerome was always a personal favorite of mine, he was the coolest servant (for the lack of a better term) of all times! That was good stuff!

    I remember Mazarati and I had (may still have) the Jesse Johnson single "Crazy."

    As for Jerome, no one could hold a mirror and dance as well as he could. But I think his role in the regrettable "Under the Cherry Moon" did irreperable damage to his career. :)

    He did that with Sly Stone. I loved his stuff, "Free World" about how everyone compared him to Prince due to the resemblance, "Be Your Man", and "I Want My Girl."

    I got really lucky and about 4 years ago a friend of mine had a lot of older stuff like that on CD listened to it on my computer and somehow was placed on my hard drive;) ....along with some old Herbie Hancock, among others.

    Does anyone remember The Rappin Duke?

    Alef Bet Gimel..... is the Hebrew alphabet. I had learned the song taught to English speaking Hebrew students when I was perhaps three years old. Then when I was taking Hebrew in college it was helpful.

    First Take


    He was born in West Virginia,
    His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz
    And he's not responsible for what he's doing
    Cause his mother made him what he is.

    And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
    Mother, who has raised her son so well.
    He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
    Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

    Sure does like his Falstaff beer,
    Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor;
    Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck;
    He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker

    And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
    Mother, who has raised her son so well.
    He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
    Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

    Well,
    M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck
    O is for the Oil I put on my hair
    T is for T-bird
    H is for Haggard
    E is for eggs, and
    R is for REDNECK.

    Up against the wall Redneck Mother,
    Mother, who has raised her son so well.
    He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
    Kicking hippies asses and raising hell.
