Never quite got why this became so popular. 
Average at best.

I never knew this was Rickie Lee Jones! Thank you for edifying.

Wow, man. Hardly anyone knows that the Orb ripped her interview to make Little Fluffy Clouds. Her record company sued them, and she told them (record company) to cut it out. She was actually flattered.

If there's one thing in this life that I don't miss from my younger days it's smoking crack cigarettes.

You realize of course that by posting the comment you posted, you're almost obligated to confess what "silly things" a guy will do because of "that voice." {#Bounce}

6 Grammy nominations and 1 Grammy win for this 1979 'jazz' album.  Tough to argue she didn't have something goin'.  Maybe the cover of Rolling Stone was the key.

For just a second I thought this was Bitchin' Camaro, even though I owned this album. Now I think about it RLJ could do an awesome remake of that song.

They're not always right but here goes....

Downstairs at danny's all-star joint
They got a juke box that goes doyt-doyt
The vice is nice, they stay in the back all day
But when the nighttime comes, hey-hey
There's this cat down there that makes a bad kinda soup
I come around struttin' my luck in my shoop coupe
Cecil gives me coffee
And he won't never take my coin
I say, " I got thirty dollars in my pocket!
Whatchoo doin' ? "

I holler, " Come on, Cecil, take a dollar!
Come on, Cecil, take a ten!
I've finally geared up into a whole buncha big ones
And you're actin' like I'm down-shiftin' "

He knows all the under-riders on the boulevard
They got to barefoot cruise when it's forty-weight hard
They look particularly dead-beat
Permanently pale
Cecil picks up his butcher knife
Waves it at the jail
The kid say, " I ain't got no dough, Joe, I just want some o.j "
I said, " Don't look at me " ( Cuz he was lookin' my way )
Cecil wink upon him some juice and some green
And the kid walks over and puts the quarter in the pinball machine
And he says, " Come on, Cec, gimme a dollar
Come on Cecil gimme five
I'm in a half-way house on a one-way street
And I'm a quarter past left alive "
He can talk about your people in a wonderful way
He can talk about your people 'til your hair turns grey


The kid say, " I ain't got no dough, Joe, I just want some o.j " Thought she said Mo Jay. Still thinks that's what she meant. . .

Cecil doesn't wave a butcher knife in the "jail".

That looks like lyrics transcribed by Japanese fans.

This song reminds me of my Dad. When I was a tot Dad and his friends had t-shirts reading "Doit Doit" they liked it so much. I never knew the song's title until today.
