“I’m thinkin’ about yo’ mama to a funky beat
I went to her house, and she licked me on the cheek
I said “Um, excuse me, lady, but I remember
seeing you at the Paladium way back in September,
‘Cause you were beat boxing to {{popup lou.gif lou 495×519}}Lou Rawls
in some bright red boxer draws”
You said yo moms was pretty and young, but she old as dirt
and got hair on her tongue.” - The Pharcyde, ‘Ya Mama’
{{popup lou.gif lou 495×519}}So our good ol’ friend Lou Rawls is going to be at the El Cajon Performing Arts Center this week singing Sinatra. How hard up on money are you to be at th El Cajon Performing Arts Center singing someone elses songs? It’s okay, Lou. If I were hard up, I’d do it ,too. Hell, maybe Lou just loves performing so much that he’ll do it anywhere.
So in another one of our mundane IM conversations, my sister starts spitting out old R&B singers doing other standard songs… here’s the convo:
