And, of course, that wonderful bit of rap, WAP. Certainly the choice for song of the decade.
:laugh:

Yuck, don't get me started on the vulger piece of trash that is Cardi B. Detest that thing.

For those unfamiliar with the song. WAP = Wet Ass Pussy.

It's not really Cardi B's performance that makes the song, it's Megan Thee Stallion. I've yet to figure out the implications of that pseudonym. But really, who doesn't like a WAP?

There's a long history of R&B songs about that. Bull Moose Jackson: My Big 10" Record of the Blues. Eddie Cleanhead Vinson: They Call Me Mr. Cleanhead. Del Mar Evans and Johnny Otis: Big John Jeter and the entire album, Snatch and the Poontangs. Baby Let Me Bang Your Box. Roll Over Annie, Annie Had a Baby Female versions of WAP include: Bessie Smith: Put a Little Sugar in My Bowl & I Got What it Takes but it Breaks My Heart to Give it Away. That's just a few. Originally they were known as Race Records. There's your musical history lesson for today, Lads. Most are available on youtube.

And you thought America was a puritanical country. Tut, tut.

Fk's sake what is wrong with people! :D

A particular favourite from the list was 'Baby Let Me Bang Your Box'. Yet there's still these bloody feminists saying we didn't treat 'em right back in the day. :wink:

Probably because they didn't play the piano.

I forgot about that one, my list wasn't meant to be conclusive, just a short survey of some of the more obscure items in the genre.

Has anyone listened to Amon Duul II ? I like Yeti and Dance of the Lemmings albums.

Shirley Bassey.
Indeed!! :thumb: Some say she was born in "Splott", Cardiff (not a made-up name unfortunately :oops: ), but "Tiger Bay", Cardiff sounds a little more "romantic"...... though it wasn't.
