Well, I was just going to say I like this tune a LOT, and believe the late Ms. Winehouse could've belted 'em out with the best in the 1920s or 1950s if she'd been alive then -- or now.
Sorry to interrupt the moral/ethical/religious/conspiracy theory conversation on this here MUSIC thread.

Yeah, I guess your right, I must be getting prudish in my old age. Im sure that you would be perfectly willing to use the same phrase in front of your mother, or your children. Just don't say it in front of my mom, ok? She would probably slap you.
Don't get me wrong though, art should be revolting occasionally, or its not doing its job. I do NOT think that she shouldn't sing the lyric in question... i just find it revolting. I also love the song Stinkfist by tool, which is far more revolting than anything Amy came up with.
Why should every piece of music be appropriate for your mother and your children?? Jesus, what a boring world that would be. |

But your pointing it out made me listen more carefully and pull up the rest of the lyrics. Now I like the song even more. Never was a big Amy Winehouse fan, but if this is indickative of her stuff, I'm going to listen to more of it.

Somehow zepher, I don't think anything in "Matthew" had any relevance to Ms. Winehouse, in particular.

 Nice transition Bill... (3/12/13) Amy Winehouse — Back To Black —-> Big Sugar — If I Were Heaven Heaven is a better place... Amazing LIVE music! 10,000 years and more to experience everything. Matthew 11:28-30 “… Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” |

What a revolting lyric! Was that line in the radio version? Maybe so, since you cant really understand what she is saying most of the time.

Whale oil beef hooked, she really did sing that.
He left no time to regret, kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high and my tears dry
Get on without my guy

Watched American Idol tonight, 10 women - well, mostly girls. A lot of belters. One, tho, did "My Funny Valentine", and the song was the star. Amy did not belt out the music; she sang a song. We'll miss what she could've created.

Was never a fan- I think the trashiness of her life was a deterrent to me actually liking her music, sadly- but I love this tune.

I was never a fan. I feel terrible for her though. I don't get it. I am reading Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge. All those great talents who died from drug abuse. It really sucks.
BTW, it is a great book.
