music and mother fuckers...

[poohlive]

Everything I said about Freud was entirely true, I don't know exactly when someone decided to start calling other a motherfucker, but I am positive Freud's theories had something to do with it.
Probably an assistant, who wanted to make a mean comment about someone.
"Yeah, well... you want to have sex with your mother, Freud said so"
He got punched inthe mouth, then the guy went to a bar "yeah, well you fuck your mother."
He got the shit kicked out of him.
"What are you some kind of mother fucker?"
The bar tender, "yeah, he is a motherfucker..."
and so on and so forth.

Just one possible way I am not saying I am right, by all means, I am just saying that it is not that far off from what the truth might be.
Or maybe it's just that one day a guy wanted to insult another guy, so he said that he slept with whores, the guy actually did sleep with whores, so he wasn't insulted. So the first man sat, and thought about who could he say this man had sex with so that he would be offended.
HEY WAIT, HIS MOTHER!!!
Eurika, it is interesting how sometimes lightbulbs go on in the strangest heads. Well, a few more theories for the origin. I doubt it is possible for anyone to say where it came from exactly. I mean even Hamlet had a pretty intriguing kissing scene with the mother and son.
Imbreeding.... maybe it was a sign of distinguished people, having relations (i always wanted to say that) with their mother.
Just rantings from someone who has too much imagination probably.

Three related comments, somewhat on point.

1) I don't see pop music as being particularly different than a whole bunch of poetry written over the last few centuries. O'er, e'en and other odd poetic contractions probably come from a similar wellspring of creativity with language. And since Folk Music and Blues with their colloquialisms from the south and urban centers created R&R, it was a natural to keep the boat rocking. As Tom Lehrer once said, "The problem with folk songs is that they are written by, . . . uh . . . people."

2) To a certain extent, some vocals have been intentionally slurred to suggest drug use. "My Generation" by The Who is supposed to sound like Roger Daltrey is hopped on speed and there are plenty of others. There is probably a whole lot more where drug/alcohol consumption created an effect that was left in. Do anything often enough, and it becomes an art form with enough money and sympathy from the Fourth Estate. Those people who grew up listening to WMMS, Buzzard radio in Cleveland will remember that the DJs used to act stoned even though they were often as straight as altarboys but the act sold. I'm sure other radio stations did the same things.

3) And finally, a lot of "artists" really don't care if the audience gets the music as long as they pay the cash. Why do you think lyric sheets are intentionally left out of CD's of the most incomprehensible singers (REM for an example)? The musicians are simply better than you are and you need to pay for their disdain. The stupidest thing is when they put a sheet of paper in there that has all of the words in alphabetical order and they feel so clever!

Purple Haze

i remember reading Dave Barry saying that he used to think the Jimi Hendrix line "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky" .. was "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy" .. LMAO

and the words to Louie Louie? i thought they were supposed to be very naughty??!!

also .. this reminds me of the movie Jumping Jack Flash when Whoopi Goldberg was playing that Stones song over and over again trying to figure out the words while she was dancing in her living room in these big pink furry slippers .. lol

"I WAS BORN IN A CROSSFIRE HURRICANE
AND I HOWLED AT MY MA IN THE DRIVEN' RAIN

BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT
NOW IN FACT IT'S A GAS
BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT
I'M JUMPING JACK FLASH
IT'S A GAS GAS GAS

I WAS RAISED BY A TOOTHLESS BEARDED HAG
I WAS SCHOOLED WITH A STRAP RIGHT ACROSS BY BACK

I WAS DROWNED I WAS WASHED UP AND LEFT OR DEAD
I FELL DOWN TO MY FEET AND I SAW THEY BLED
I FROWNED AT THE CRUMBS OF A CRUST OF BREAD
I WAS CROWNED WITH A SPIKE RIGHT through MY HEAD"

... like who could ever have figured out those words ... especially the way Mick sings it .. lmao

 

[Jade]

Isabella ... YEAH !!!!

woo hooooo!!
LOVED that movie and love the song (guilty yep!)

Maddogg/Rand... aARGGH I can't get the damn song out of my head now! lol!!


Oh, and the sex status... carl doesn't want it so he is out of the drawing but what about everyone else? Plus now there is a whole new contestant.. Poolive... so... egads!

Jade, you ARE a top Beauty...

Jade, I've been looking through this whole literotica stuff a bit at a time the last couple of days and saw that you didn't understand why you weren't at the top of the "amateurs" list. I don't know why either. Your beautiful long hair is the way into my unusual heart...

In my lifetime, motherfucker is a putdown of the worst kind. In history and/or christianity, who could the children of Adam have possibly had to have sex with if Adam and Eve were the only ones here?

Perhaps "wrapped up like a deuce, another runner in the night" referred to the kind of fledgeling sexual encounters you gain when you are young and still in school, living with mom and dad, and sex doesn't carry the same socio/economic weight that it will later on in life. It's basically make-out music from that era. Of course for years I also thought it was saying "douche".

And your husband isn't gonna' let NOBODY ELSE witcha', no matter how much we all wish.

Inside...

Unique theory from you... very interesting...thanks for responding.

Hmmm, I must say, I hadn't considered the song "Blinded by the Light" in such a context... no, I wasn't even close in fact. But now that you have put it that way.. the wheels in my head are all awake...

And of course about the flattery (which was completely unexpected.. especially on my "mother fucker" thread no less haha!).. that will get you everywhere my dear!


Seriously, thank you.

Blinded by the Light-and other songs of ambiguity

Jade--I think your two pics are great too. I want to post mine, but can't find the originals, and the digitals are stuck in a webtv terminal (long story). As for the words to the chorus of "Blinded by the Light", I believe the actual lyrics refer to a car..."Blinded by the light. Revved up like a Deuce, you know a runner in the night..." As for the words to Hendrix's "Purple Haze", I thought the lyrics were "'Scuse me while I zip my fly..." Just kidding. But as for the lyrics to the Kingsmen's "Louie Louie", they can be found, I believe at a site called "The smoking gun", as can other answers to questions that the government stuck their nose into. Feds hassled the Kingsmen and their publisist and agents about that song and its lyrics until the group's manager turned over the original score and its lyrics to them. Funny, if you get a chance to check out the site, and read about the "Louie Louie" scandal. Turns out all the lewd and lascivious lyrics, interpreted by the govenment's analysts were in fact, wrong. There is not one reference to sex within the original lyrics of "Louie Louie". WELL, just thought I would let you know, in case you are interested. Have a great afternoon, all.

I think that, as a rule, people tend to overinterpret rock lyrics. After all, if I took the quantity of mind-altering substances as the guys in those bands, I think I'd be singing about stuff at least as weird as being wrapped up like a deuce.

I wish he was saying douche, though. It's even more bizarre and makes even less sense. If you're gonna be nonsensical, why not go all out?

(P.S. your services are needed right now, Miss Jade. I'z wants to chat!)

Oh, and the sex status... carl doesn't want it so he is out of the drawing but what about everyone else?

Oh Jade, I want it, I just don't want to fight over it. I want it freely, sexually, completely, lustfully, and lovingly.hehe

Carl.
