SHOCKING RAP LYRICS VS THE SANE 50'S

Updated to include the 227 (up to now, BUT PLEASE STOP) email suggestions. Thanx everybody.
Check these out and maybe we can all lighten up about the "sinful" rap music. And yes Virginia, Dinah Washington sang some pretty raunchy stuff. Here's some titles:

Baby Let Me Bang Your Box-----The Toppers

My Man Stands Out------ Julia Lee & Her Boy Friends (a truly raunchy group)

Long John Blues --------- Dinah Washington

Keep on Churnin' (Till the Butter Comes)------ Wynonie Harris

Work With Me Annie ------ Royals (They were original artists; Shirley and Lee, and Hank Ballard & The Midnighters versions were later)

It Ain't the Meat ----- The Swallows

Sixty Minute Man------- The Dominoes (still played)

Lemon Sqeezing Daddy------- Sultans

Big Ten Inch Record ------- Tiny Bradshaw

Big Long Slidin' Thing------ Dinah Washington

Take You Hands Off My Mojo-----Coot Grant

Press My Button, Ring My Bell-------Black Bob

If I Can't Sell It, I'll Keep Sittin' on It (Before I Give It Away)-----Georgia White

Please Warm My Weiner------Bo Carter (a great recoding)

Get Off With Me--------Coot Grant and Kid Wesley Wilson

Get Off The Table Mabel (The Two Dollar's For The Beer)------Bull Moose Jackson

Late Add Chinga Chavin "Country Porn" (Fruit of the Tune, 1976)

"Sit, Sit, Sit On My Face,"

"Jailbait"

"Dry Humping In The Back Of A Fifty-Five Ford...

" Well, you really have to hear it to believe it." (Thanx to Ray R)


And you want drug songs? Check these out. We used to call it "reefer music"

Reefer Man-----Don Redman And His Orchestra

Here Comes The Man With The Jive--------Stuff Smith And His Onyx Club Boys

If You're A Viper-------Bob Howard And His Boys

Sweet Marijuana Brown------Barney Bigard Sextet (this was a name band)

Viper Mad------Sidney Bechet With Noble Sissie's Swingers (another name band)

The Weed Smoker's Dream (Why Don't You Do Right) - Harlem Hamfats

The G Man Got The T Man - Cee Pee Johnson And His Band

All The Jive Is Gone - Andy Kirk And His Twelve Clouds Of Joy

Who Put The Benzedrine In Mrs Murphy Ovaltine-----Harry 'The Hipster' Gibson (Everybody had this record)

Jerry The Junker-------Clarence Williams And His Washboard band

Reefer Song-------Fats Waller (Yes. That Fats Waller)

Save The Roach For Me-----Buck Washington

COCAINE BILL AND MORPHINE SUE----(were strolling down the avenue. Honey have a sniff have a sniff on me.......) many many artists, originally from the very early part of the last century, or possibly the 19th century when the first cocaine wave hit this country.

I found a few of these busted records at my sister's house, which really pissed me off. I think a lot of them are available on CD's. Late add Emailer T Jackson says most are available at Amazon. Warning: most of them are just awful. You have to be a hard core blues fan to like most of them, and the sort of famous "Harry the Hipster" was a no talent. I left out Slim Galliard (Cement Mixer), Lord BlearsBuckley, the really great Louis Jordan, and lots of others including the dopester of all time: Roselle Gayle (sic), the first Cheech and Chong. Another late add More emails than I've ever received complete with links to Amazon. Here's a start that will link you like crazy. There's copulating blues, "viper" blues, and just plain early low down stuff. The rap of the early part of the 20th century. Another email link from John T. If you have Real Audio updated you can hear some of this stuff.
