I got a whole lot of lovin'
Baby just waiting for you
I got a whole lot of lovin'
Baby just waiting for you
And the way i could love you woman
Honey i know you could love me too

Oh you're so good lookin' baby
And you build up from the ground
Well you're so good lookin' baby
And you build up from the ground

Every time i see you baby
My love starts tumbling down

Yeah, you're just my type baby
Just my height and size
Said you're just my type baby
You're just my height and size
And the reason i love you
Because you've got those little dreamy eyes

Switched stations because of a 1 minute, 50 second song? Seems harsh with the eclecticism of RP. I don't like everything that's dialed up here either, but I know that something golden is about to come my way. I don't get the hate.

For some reason, this song's cadence really bothers me.  I lack the musical language to say what I mean correctly, but I mean that the building blocks of his song seem to be groups of 6 4-beat measures, when it's more typically done with 4, 8, or 16 of those 4-beat measures — particularly in jazz.

I know the above might construe me as such, but I swear that I'm not some sort of a structure purist.  However, for some reason this song's structure is just displeasing to me.

More than that, he introduced the New Orleans patois (which has never made too much distinction between races) into his lyric and style - creating a casual, fun sound that was picked up and run with by a host of artists defining rock.

No, of course he didn't. Pervert.

 
Yeah, seriously, do you think someone who looks like he would mean anything like THAT?

Yep. Both are New Orleans songs.Iko Iko is more or a Mardi Gras thing and Fats is clearly an icon.
Indeed. I'm pretty sure Mr. Domino still lives in the Ninth Ward, just down the street from the house he grew up in. Or at least DID until Katrina. c.

Pretty dramatic contrast with 2raumwohnung. Was "Iko Iko" supposed to be a transition?
I think we got the same three songs yet again ...

Dag! This the flip side of "Ain't That A Shame". This took me back to the old Zenith Hi-Fi and how those hot tubes smelled, and the big old tone-arm coming down on the stack of 45s... Sorry for the geeze down memory lane.

Thanks, reminds me of Louisiana. It's way before my time-but still love it.

I like the peppy pace maintained in otherwise 3 very different songs: Fats, preceded by Bell Stars, preceded by that German rock, 2raumwohnung. Cool Cool Cool. Fats and the the Belle Stars song both have a New Orleans link.
