Popmuzikanten die zichzelf bezingen

Hier eentje van Prince, als je ze leest denk je: wat een eigendunk! Maar je moet het eerder zien als een ironische kijk op de vele funkartiesten en rappers die zichzelf omhoog hemelen in hun nummers.


Prince
"My Name Is Prince"

(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy) (Prince)
(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy)
(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy) (Prince)
(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy)

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince, the one and only
I did not come 2 funk around
Till I get your daughter, I won't leave this town
In the beginning (funky) God made the sea
But on the 7th day He made me
He was tryin' 2 rest y'all when He heard the sound
Sound like a guitar cold gettin' down
I tried 2 bust a high note, but I bust a string
My God was worried until he heard me sing

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince, the one and only
Hurt me!
(Do that, do that somebody) {x8}
Hurt me!

My name is Prince and I am funky
When it come 2 funk, I am a junkie
I know from righteous, I know from sin
I got 2 sides and they both friends
Don't try 2 clock 'em, they're much 2 fast
If U try 2 stop 'em, they'll kick that ass
Without a pistol, without a gun
When U hear my music, U be havin' fun
That's when I gotcha, that's when U mine
2 tell the truth, tell me what's my line?

My name is Prince and I am funky (U can't stop Prince)
My name is Prince, the one and only (U can't stop Prince)
Hurt me!
(Do that, do that somebody) {x4}
Funky fresh 4 the 90's (Prince)

My name is Prince, I don't wanna be King
Cuz I've seen the top and it's just a dream
Big cars and women and fancy clothes
Will save your face but it won't save your soul
I'm here 2 tell U that there's a better way
Would our Lord be happy if He came 2day?
I ain't sayin' I'm better, no better than U, huh
But if U want 2 play with me, U better learn the rules (Ow!)

My name is Prince and I am funky (U can't stop Prince)
My name is Prince, the one and only (U can't stop Prince)
I did not come 2 funk around (U can't stop Prince)
Till I get your daughter, I won't leave this town
I won't leave this town {x2}
I won't leave this, leave this, leave this?

My name is Prince and I am funky (U can't stop Prince)
My name is Prince the one and only (U can't stop Prince)
Funky fresh 4 the 90's
(Do that, do that somebody) {x4}
Hurt me!

The funkier I be, the funkier I get, ooh shit
Lickety split on the lyric, a new jack in the pulpit
Watch it deacon, your track is leakin'
What is this U're seekin'?
The syncopated rhymes are at their peak when?
U jumped on my D.I.C.K.
That's the one thing I don't play
The jock strap was 2 big 4 U anyway
U're just a simpleton
I'll bust U like a pimple, son
My star is 2 bright, boy
I'll sink U like the ship Poseidon Adventure
U're bumpin' dentures 2 be cocksure
There must be more coming from your mouth than manure
So with a flow and a spray, I say hey
U must become a Prince before U're King anyway

(Do that, do that somebody) {x2}

It's time I get ig-ig-ig-ig-ig-ig-ignorant
Def be the beat that I'm rockin'
Yo, so come get a hit
And put your thinking cap on
U've been forewarned
I call upon the inner forces I've got brewin' in my cauldron
That means my nugget, sometimes I'm rugged
The style I posses be havin' the other brothers buggin'
And this is 4 those who oppose
And propose 2 overexpose, disclose
Pose a threat 2 my brother
Like any other man makin' a stand
I'll be damned if I let U play this hand
I'm the blackjack dealer and the cards are stacked
What do U expect 2 win when U're used 2 playing craps?
Yeah, let's get rid of them, hmm?

(Do that, do that somebody) {x2}

It's gettin' tricky, that means a sticky situation
2 resurrect a groove with feeling and give it this much affection
Passion flows who knows what lurks in the gallows of my mind
I put my foot in the ass of Jim Crow
12 inches of non-stop sole
I'm on a roll - yo P, it's time 4 the show
So do that, do that somebody
Wave your hands in the air, this is a motherfuckin' party
While U're layin' back, I'm on the attack
Paddywhack - give yourself a bone
This is my house and I'm prone
2 layin' some chrome upside some motherfucker's dome
And I'm out

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince, the one and only

My name is Prince {x10}

Dat krijg je met dat soort zichzelf overschattende oelewappers

Deze jongens kunnen er ook wat van, maar dan heel anders:

The Anti Nowhere League - We Are The League

quote:

Another boring night and I'm feeling pissed
My heads fucked up and I'm in a mess
Too many drugs have made me high
I want to cause havoc, I want to die.

We are the League, with the extra man
We are the League, we are the anti band
So don't you say you're feeling bored
The League are here and we have scored

We are the League
We are the League
We are the League
The Anti Nowhere League

You criticise us, you say we’re shit,
but we’re up here and we’re doing it
So don’t you criticise the things we do
No fucker pays to go and see you.

We are the League and we are mad
We are the League and our music’s bad
We’ll fuck noise like you’ve never known
And make you wished you’d stayed at home

We are the League
We are the League
We are the League
The Anti Nowhere League

We hate the dogs, we hate the man,
We hate the things we don’t understand
No time for love, cos that ain’t class
If you don’t fucking like it, stuff it up your arse.

We are the League and we are mean
We are the League and we’re obscene
We don’t give a toss for what you think
Cos all your views, they fucking stink

We are the League
We are the League
We are the League ……. so don’t fuck with the League!

[..]

idd viel me vooral op toen het nummer "Stan" uitkwam. Dat hijzelf beschrijft ie hoe een fan enorm tegen hem (Eminem) opkijkt en helemaal doordraait uit respect en verafgoding...

Het is opzich wel een mooi nummer, maar het verhaal verraad een duidelijke wensdroom van Eminem. Misschien hoopte hij dat het nummer een self-fulfilling prophecy zou worden.. oftewel: ego-trippert

Dat is de grootste poep man. De dingen die Eminem beschrijft in Stan zijn in Amerika aan de orde van de dag. Eminem heeft zelfs twee fans gehad die zelfmoord hebben gepleegd en in hun afscheidsbrief quote's van Eminem's rock bottom hebben verwerkt. Dat nummer komt dus van Em's 2e album. Stan komt van het 3e.

Hij is dus geen egotrippert, probeert fans gewoon te raken via dat nummer en van hetzelfde te behoeden.

Ja, dan kun je ook wel Spooky's Day Off van de Swining Soul Machine noemen.

Lagwagon - Falling Apart

Hello
welcome to the show
Thought we broke up years ago

What's up
I just shit my pants
gambled and I lost

Good times
just blew out my knee
I've fallen and I can't get up

Oh shit
I think I broke my back
where's the wheelchair?

I'm old school
I'm played out (out, out, out)
Osteoporosis
glaucoma and neurosis
The vultures circling
above our balding heads

Second verse
the same as the first
I forgot the words again

Railer
lost my inhaler
who's got a smoke for the Caper?

Hold on
let me catch my breath
All right I feel better now
Take it to the bridge

I'll never be Ozzy
On stage when I'm fifty
I'm gonna look like Elvis
By the time I'm forty

We're already bogus
We're already fading
We'll never be The Rolling Stones
I'm staying home

Dementia and senility
My failing muscles atrophy
I've lost all ability
Falling apart!

Blue hair, brown teeth
Failing livers,defeat
Maybe we will try to pull it off
for another year

Dat kan ook, qua Ozzy, Elvis en Stones. Maar met:

Railer

bedoelt zanger Joey Cape zichzelf (live regent het op het podium dan sigaretten vanuit het publiek). Verder gaat de tekst in op hun lange afwezigheid (tussen 1998 en 2003) en het vermoeden dat de band destijds dus op z'n gat lag.

Yep:

van Encyclopedia Metallica:

quote:

In the figurative sense:
The four horsemen could also stand for the four Metallicans and their conquest of the world, as a heavy metal band.

The Mamas & The Papas - Creeque Alley

over hun ontstaan en dat van The Lovin' Spoonful, uit een en dezelfde vriendenkliek

quote:

John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave their folk music behind;
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line.
In a coffee house Sebastian sat,
And after every number they'd pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

Zal he said, "Denny, you know there aren't many
Who can sing a song the way that you do; let's go south."
Denny said, "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish
I could play guitar like you."
Zal, Denny, and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
And after every number they'd pass the hat.
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore
But she changed her mind one day.
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike,
"Take me to New York right away."
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps;
Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps.
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' at.
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps---
Don't you work as hard as you play.
Make up, break up, everything is shake up;
Guess it had to be that way.
Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful;
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful.
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in L.A.,
You know where that's at.
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass.

Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted,
And Mitchy wants to go to the sea.
Cass can't make it; she says we'll have to fake it---
We knew she'd come eventually.
Greasin' on American Express cards;
Tents low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard.
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
Can't go on indefinitely.
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality...

Miranda - Vamos A La Playa
Es la maquina Miranda

Heel fout jaren '90 liedje.

Sabrina met Boys Boys Boys telt hier ook wel, denk ik...

Crass- Have a nice day:

Same old stuff, you've heard it all before,
Crass being crass about the system, or is it war?
We ain't got no humour, we don't know how to laugh,
If you don't fucking like it - fucking tough!
