Torrent description

All songs are excellent, but...

In this compilation there are two songs especially good!


1. Jimmy Castor Bunch - Trojlodyte (track 15)

Jimmy Castor tells (not sing) a funny story about a man and a woman.
The music is not soul, but pure FUNK. Classic!!!

Here's the lyrics:



What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time.
When the only people that existed were troglodytes...cave men...
cave women...Neanderthal...trojlodytes.

Let's take the average cave man at home, listening to his stereo.
Sometimes he'd get up, He'd begin to move, something like this:
'Dance...dance'.
When he got tired of dancing alone, he'd look in the mirror. He said: 'Gotta find a woman gotta find a woman gotta find a woman gotta find a woman'.
He'd go down to the lake where all the Girls would be swimming or washing clothes or something.
He'd look around and just reach in and grab one. He said: 'Come here...come here'.
He'd grab her by the hair.
You can't do that today, fellas, cause it might come off. You'd have a piece of hair in your hand and she'd be swimming away from you.
This one woman just lay there, wet and frightened. He said: 'Move...move'.
She got up. She was a big woman. BIG woman.
Her name was Bertha. Bertha Butt. She was one of the Butt sisters.
He didn't care. He looked up at her and said:
'Sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me
sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me!'.
She looked down on him.
She was ready to crush him, but she began to like him. She said:
'I'll sock it to ya, Daddy'. He said: 'Wha?'. She said:
'I'll sock it to ya, Daddy'. You know what he said?
He started it way back then. I wouldn't lie to you. When she said
'I'll sock it to ya, Daddy' he said 'Right on! Right on! Hotpants!
Hotpants! Ugh...ugh...ugh'



2. Al Wilson - The Snake (track 16)

One of the best Northern soul tracks...ever! Maybe THE best one!
The music, the lyrics,the singing are perfect!
Note that the song belongs to Oscar Brown Jr.


The lyrics



On Her Way to Work One Morning
Down the Path Along Side the Lake
A Tender Hearted Woman Saw a Poor Half Frozen Snake
His Pretty Colored Skin Had Been All Frosted With the Dew
"Oh Well," She Cried, "I'll Take You in and I'll Take Care of You"

"Take Me in Oh Tender Woman
Take Me In, For Heaven's Sake
Take Me In, Tender Woman," Sighed the Snake

She Wrapped Him Up All Cozy in a Curvature of Silk
And Then Laid Him By the Fireside With Some Honey and Some Milk
Now She Hurried Home From Work That Night and Soon As She Arrived,
She Found That Pretty Snake She'd Taken In Had Been Revived

"Take Me In, Oh Tender Woman
Take Me In, For Heaven's Sake
Take Me In, Tender Woman," Sighed the Snake

Now She Clutched Him to Her Bosom, "You're So Beautiful," She Cried
"But If I Hadn't Brought You in, By Now You Might Have Died"
Now She Stroked His Pretty Skin Again and Kissed and Held Him Tight,
But Instead of Saying Thanks, the Snake Gave Her a Vicious Bite

"Take Me In, Oh Tender Woman
Take Me In, For Heaven's Sake
Take Me In, Tender Woman," Sighed the Snake

"I Saved You," Cried that Woman
"And You've Bit Me Even, Why?
You Know Your Bite Is Poisonous and Now I'm Gonna Die"
"Oh Shut Up, Silly Woman," Said the Reptile With a Grin
"You Knew Damn Well I Was a Snake Before You Brought Me in

"Please Take Me In, Oh Tender Woman
Take Me In, For Heaven's Sake
Take Me In, Tender Woman," Sighed the Snake
