Off Beat Lyrics
The Lyrics You Won't Find Anywhere Else
(We think)
Issue 6: May 3, 1998
Welcome to issue number 6 of "Off Beat Lyrics", bringing you the lyrics you won't find
elsewhere on the Net ... we think. Lyrics to songs that are
almost or completely forgotten. Songs that - for whatever reason - aren't played on the
radio anymore, have faded from view, or weren't in view in the first place, but still have interesting lyrics and/or background
stories to them. Bizarre, humorous, novelty songs... Obscure or forgotten, funny or plain weird,
you will be able to discover them here!
And since we're not expecting you to actually know these songs, you will find not only the words but also the music
itself (or sizeable excerpts) in
RealAudio format, plus a picture of the record sleeve or artist if possible.
Note: If you still haven't got RealAudio player (RealPlayer) you should get it - for free - from the
RealNetworks site. Go get it now! (but please come back later...)
"Now the Crazy Girls sing" the LP sleeve boasted. We're still not sure if that was
good news. However, hear for yourself! Here are two excerpts from the LP "Crazy Horse
Saloon" (Carabine Music 26 700). Besides some ensemble numbers, the LP featured
such gems as "Rosa Fumetto" by Rosa Fumetto and "Jail Bait" by Lili Paramount and
Sofia Palladium. Only with a name like that could you hope to become a Crazy Girl!
By the way: the Crazy Horse has a website, of course. It's here.
Reserve your tickets on-line!
What's this all about, then?
This Week we visit the Crazy Horse
Saloon in Paris!

| A Crazy Girl, as you can clearly see |
Actually, Lova Moor probably is the best-known Crazy Girl of all times, becoming something of a society figure in France, regularly making the front page of French tabloids.

My Business Is Sex (J. Morali - H. Bounty) Oh every job I've had has been a mess I'm at my best when I can undress I like the thrill of the stage, show a leg that's my bag Would you believe that my business is sex? I've done a lot of things as you can tell I even worked in a big hotel Until the day I found out that my tip was a trip To someone's room when the boss rang a bell Since I've been at the Crazy Horse My mother is so proud of me She sits each night down in the second row Sells my pictures right after the show One time I thought I'd try the skinflick trade I said at last, my fortune is made But at the thirty-third take and a huff in the bath I left so fast I forgot to get paid There was a club that I once went to see To get in you had to have a key But my first customer said with a wink, I don't drink Instead of a highball, he wanted me Oh every job I've had has been a mess I'm at my best when I can undress I like the thrill of the stage, show a leg that's my bag Would you believe that my business is sex? Oh every job I've had has been a mess I'm at my best when I can undress I like the thrill of the stage, show a leg that's my bag Would you believe that my business is sex? Yeah |
