What Are You Listening To?

I usually trend towards music more than movies when I go for my Christmas purchases:

The Hollies

Led Zeppelin

And then I had to go for something newer, so I went with Florence and the Machine. Not so much for Florence but the musical arranging. It'd be fun to see them take a crack at instrumentals at times ala Pink Floyd.

One of my *favorites* from a few years back, "I Know What Boys Like", by the Waitresses:

IMO, this song has an enjoyable and rather unique rhythm.

The lead singer, a pretty female, certainly knows what "Guys Want", and she communicates it very well in the video. She's such a "tease" -- nyaah...nyaah...nyaah...nyaah !

LOL !

An absolute classic, "Whip It", by Devo:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbt30UnzRWw&feature=endscreen&NR=1

The group's name is based on the term "De-evolution".

In the video, all the group's members are wearing upside-down red/plastic flower pots on their heads as hats.

A *very futuristic look* (IMO).

CRACK THAT WHIP ! (lol)

At the height of the group's popularity, no sign with the word "Devon" on it -- (as in "Welcome to Devon, Illinois" or "Devon Avenue", for example) -- was safe from being defaced by vandals, who simply painted over the "n" to leave "Devo".

(Now, how cool is that? lol)

*I sure hope I'm not abusing* the purpose of this thread by making this Post (after all, "silly" is OK here, right?).

I happened to find the *complete lyrics* to the song I discussed in my Post # 640, "I Know What Boys Like" by the Waitresses:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcoiGr_FlQY

I've put them below. You can appreciate the "tease" aspect of the song better if you read the lyrics as you listen to the song.

(If this Post is not acceptable, please delete it.)

Here are the lyrics:

I know what boys like

I know what guys want

I know what boys like

I've got what boys like

I know what boys like

I know what guys want

I seen them looking

I make them want me

I like to tease them they want to touch me

I never let them

I know what boys like

I know what guys want

I know what boys like

Boys like, boys like me

But you youre special (I might let you)

Youre so much different (I might let you)

Ooohh would you like that? (I might let you)

I know what boys like

I know what guys want

I know what boys like

I know whats on their minds

I know what boys like

I know what guys want

They talk about me

I got my cat moves

That so upsets them

Zippers and buttons

Fun to frustrate them

They get so angry

Like pouty children

Denied their candy

I laugh right at them

I know what boys like

I know what guys want

I know what boys like

Boys like, boys like me

Nah nah nah nah nah,

nah nah nah nah nah

I see your sad now (I will let you)

Sorry I teased you (I will let you)

This time I mean it (I will let you)

Anything you want (You can trust me)

I really want to (You can trust me)

How would you like it? (You can trust me) SUCKER! hmhmhm

I know what boys like I got what guys want

I know what boys like

Boys like, boys like me

Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah

A very young Madonna singing "Holiday" (from 1983):

The thing I like about this video, in addition to the music, is watching her do the very simple, but highly effective, dance moves. It's almost like an aerobic workout. The song reminds me that I need to take a holiday (with Madonna, if at all possible -- lol).
