Hey ya'll.
Miss me?
I'm still celebrating my Philly boyz winning the Baseball championship (I'm not naming it normally because there's always some non-yank who pisses and moans about the designation, blah blah blah). Woohoo!
But this thread is all about the
MUSIC, amigos. So the theme here is that all of these bands are from
Philadelphia. And -- since the Phillies are a true *team* with no overpaid whiny superstars and won the Championship by playing
together, all of these are Groups or Bands or at least Duos ... no solo artists allowed.
Musically speaking, Phila is known mostly for R&B, Hip Hop, Soul, and only a bit of "Rock". So this mix reflects a wide range of genres ... ya got R&B, ya got Hippity Hop, ya got punk, ya got rock, ya got Motown, ya got Disco, etc etc. Most acts should be known internationally, but there could be some exceptions, sorry. Some of these are easy, and some ... are not. Good luck. And watch out for covers, I want original artists from Philly.

Sweat baby sweat baby sex is a Texas drought
Me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts
Yes I'm Siskel yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up
You've had enough of two-hand touch you want it rough you're out of bounds
I want you smothered want you covered like my Waffle House hashbrowns
Comin' quicker than FedEx never reach an apex just like Coca-Cola stock you are inclined
To make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time

I was in a bar one Friday night, cooling watching a Mike Tyson fight
I was maxin and relaxin sippin on Tequilla, when this girl walked up she said hi my name is Sheila
I responded by saying hello, she paid for my drink and then said let's go
20 minutes later things were starting to cook, as we pulled up into her house I said I'm with you toots
the music was soft and there was wine in the glasses, she started winking and making little passes

So many have paid to see
What you think you're getting for free
The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed
By the purr of a jaguar
Money's the matter
If you're in it for love
You ain't gonna get too far
4.
All the things that we've been through
You should understand me like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing to break up our happy home
Oh don't get so excited when I come home a little late at night
Cos we only act like chilldren when we argue fuss and fight

We went to the Phillie Pizza Company
And ordered some hot tea
The waitress said "Well no
We only have it iced".
So we jumped up on the table
And shouted "anarchy!"
And someone played a Beach Boys song
On the jukebox
It was California Dreamin'
So we started screamin'
"On such a winter's day"

My love
Whenever I was insecure,
You built me up and made me sure,
You gave my pride back to me.
Precious friend
With you I'll always have a friend,
You're someone who I can depend,
To walk a path that sometimes bends.
7.
We belong together
And you know that I'm right
Why do you play with my heart?
Why do you play with my mind?
Said we'd be forever
Said it'd never die
How could you love me and leave me
And never say goodbye

Holy Moses on the mountain
High above the golden calf
Went to get the Ten Commandments
He's just gonna break them in half
9.
Everyone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(Fly!) and we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
(All!) all of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose
10.
To my surprise, yes! One hundred stories high.
People gettin' loose y’all gettin' down on the roof - Do you hear?
(the folks are flaming) Folks were screamin' - out of control
It was so entertainin' - when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
Special Bonus:
Move back just a little
Let me watch your hips sway
Hold me looser still
Throw me like I'm wet clay
And you a feast I devour
If you let me be the man of the hour
‘Cause you are rhythm
I'm a cold shower
