Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is that what "Le Freak" was about.
The origin of that particular song is that Niles Rodgers and Bernard Edwards couldn't get into Studio 54 one night. So they started a chant of "Awwwww, Fuck Off!" And got the whole crowd going. So they made it into a song, after a retitling.
See also: "Super Freak" and "No Freakin' on the Dance Floor" and a berjillion other 80s funk hits.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
"Le Fuck, c'est duck", perhaps?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Actually I think it'd have been something more like..."Fuck off! Lucky Toff!"
Or "Fuck Off, Veal Orloff!"
Okay, maybe not. It only there was a Duck Orloff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
no Brill Building shit, by which I mean the song must in some way express sentiments native to the singer, or the singer must have socioeconomic fraternité with the songwriter, if they are not the same person.
Anti-pop snobbery!

Ha, yes, and also, "socioeconomic fraternité"? Bloody students.
Anyway, update on mix CDs: so far I've only received DX's and Teppy's, and I'll be sending these on to moonlit this afternoon.

Oops. I'll pop a blank into the computer and burn one up tonight. Sorry, Angus, I've been slammed at work.

Yeah. There goes just about everything the Four Seasons did.
