The Meters. "Cissy Strut." Cissy Strut, Island Records, 1974.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This song may have come out back in the day when I graduated high school, but it still gets me on the dance floor.

Canada + Australia FTW.
Is it Friday yet? This one's for Austin.
🎶 It fills me up
And it starts to shine
And I see it burn when you bring me sunlight
Is it all you need
To feel this heat
To feel like everything is all that you dreamed
Is it all too much
Did you get enough
Does it set on fire all the things that you touch
It fills me up
And it starts to shine
And I see it burn when you bring me sunlight 🎶
Hear that "Please Mr. Postman" melody?
🎶 Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I been feeling it since 1966, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
Let me kick it like it's 1986, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still 🎶
Those keys. Thanks to my girl Heidi for putting me onto this artist.
Let's get this week started off right.
🎶 Come close to me
Come close baby, come close ma (baby, baby)
Let me hold you love, come closer love
Know this world gets
It gets crazy baby, it gets crazy girl (but)
What's it without you, you, you, you? 🎶
🎶 That's how my Queen should ride. 🎶
Going down a Pharrell rabbit-hole...
Neptunes make numba one tune.
Dig back.
Because it's today. Shoutout to Corey from Sidewalk Guide for the tip.
🎶 Now, me and baby got this situation
See brotha got this complex occupation
And it ain't that he don't have education
Cause I was right there at his graduation
Now, I ain't sayin' that this life don't work
But it's me and baby that he hurts
Cause I tell him right
He thinks I'm wrong
But I love him strong
He gave me the life that I came to live
Gave me the song that I came to give
Pressure on me
But the seed had grown
I can't make it on my own
Summer came around and the flowers bloomed
He became the sun
I became the moon
Precious gifts that we both received
Or could this be make believe
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you
Work ain't honest but it pays the bills
(Work ain't honest but it pays the bills)
What we gonna do when they come for you
Gave me the life that I came to live
Yes, you did
Don't worry baby
Don't I know there's confusion
God's gonna see us through (yeah)
Peace out to revolution
But we paid though 🎶
The kid at the beginning of this video singing Nina Simone? Just wow.
