This week's song was inspired by a hat. Yes it has a lot to do with the person who has been wearing that hat, but really it's the fault of the hat.
The lovely Lady Sovereign is currently in the final series of Celebrity Big Brother in the UK and has this amazing monkey hat. The hat, in turn, reminded me of the great opening track from her second album 'Jigsaw' and it ended up stuck in my head all week (though it did run the gauntlet with 'Spider Pig' simply cos they've been advertising 'The Simpsons Movie' on tv all week too).
When she first came on the scene I wasn't too fussed by her to be honest. She simply didn't click with me. Yet when her second album came out something about it just worked with me and I can't get enough of it.
I initially downloaded 'Jigsaw' as I wanted to get the track 'I'm So Human' as I'd heard it and it was surprisingly catchy which made me wonder if the rest of the album was as good. So I played it and loved it from start to finish and now I can't imagine life without it.
This girl has a lot more going for her than people think and I hope she continues to develop as an artist in a positive way.
As for the monkey hat being the cause of this weeks song....just read the lyrics!
Hope you all enjoy this weeks little gem!
Lady Sovereign - Let's Be Mates
It's like...This
I'm weird and you're weird
Let's be mates.
I consider us a pair so yeah,
Let's be mates.
You like monkeys, I like monkeys.
You like funk, I like it funky.
I hate junkies, don't punch me,
I'm feelin a little drumpy.
Let's get acquainted,
You're simple I like it.
Why are we waitin,
I'm single you like it.
Follow me outside,
I need a chashpoint
You got a light?
Follow me outside,
I need a chashpoint,
Wait I said that twice.
You like my hair, I like it too
To the side, that's not all I do.
Do you mind holdin on for two
While I go do my boogaloo.
I'm weird and you're weird
Let's be mates.
I consider us a pair so yeah,
Let's be mates.
I'm weird and you're weird
Let's be mates.
I like that smile that you wear, oh yeah
Let's be mates.
You like colors, I like purple.
I'm talkin slow like a turtle.
I've had to much herbal.
I feel like im coughing furballs.
Drink cider like wurzzles
I'm fresh and clean like persil
Deliver my words like parcels
And that queen in her castle
Let's get acquainted,
You're simple I like it.
Why are we waitin,
I'm single you like it.
Let's conversate about nothing
It's timeless
And how I run about
With my invisible minders
I'm weird and you're weird
Let's be mates.
I consider us a pair so yeah,
Let's be mates.
I'm weird and you're weird
Let's be mates.
I like that smile that you wear, oh yeah
Let's be mates.
Du-na-na (uh uh)
Du-na-na (uh uh)
Du-na-na (uh uh)
Du-na-na (uh uh)
Follow me outside
Du-na-na (uh uh)
Du-na-na (uh uh)
Follow me outside
Du-na-na (uh uh)
Follow me outside,
I need a chashpoint
You got a light?
Follow me outside,
I need a chashpoint,
Wait I said that twice.
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
That twice
I'm weird and you're weird
Let's be mates.
I consider us a pair so yeah,
Let's be mates.
I'm weird and you're weird
Let's be mates.
I like that smile that you wear, oh yeah
Let's be mates.
Let's be mates, huh?
