Throwback Thurs. - Fly Girl ~ 1985

Where my fellow Fly Girls at?! LOL This was my jam....and I loved me some fluorescent socks & stuff!


Fly Girl
The Boogie Boys
1985


Fly (Fly, fly, fly) girl
Fly (Fly, fly, fly) girl

Fly girl
A fly girl

A fly girl is a girl who wants you to see
Her name, her game and her ability
Two gold teeth and cold cash money
The guys are on her strap, she tends to act funny
She’s got Gazelli and a beanbag too
Fly girl I wanna be with you
You’re not the prettiest thing, girl, but that’s okay
Your painted-on jeans make you fresh any way
You’re wearin’ much gold like it ain’t no thing
You’ve got a name chain and a name earring
Your father is a doctor, a lawyer or a king (Girl)
Take me in your car, let’s go for a swing
One day you’re gonna be at the top of the world
And I’mma be on your back fly girl (Girl-girl)

A fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl (Fly girl)
A fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl (Fly girl)
A fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl (Girl-girl), a fly girl (Girl-girl)

My name is Boogie Knight, and yes I’m a Capricorn
I like the fly girls who knows that they’re on
To my experience the girls who please
Are Gemini, Scorpio, and yes Pisces
I’m not prejudice, but I tell you right now
I don’t like a girl who eats the Puppy Chow
I don’t like a girl with mud in her toes
And feet that smells like anything goes
Dirty nails are what I hate most
But the gold fingernails are high post
I like pretty hair but I also know
Girls look fly in Kangols (Kangols)
I must say this if you like it or not
I can’t stand fluorescent socks
But let me shut up for now, bye-bye world
My name is Boogie Knight and I’ve got a fly girl

Girl (Girl), girl (Girl), girl (Girl), girl (Girl)
Girl (Girl), girl (Girl), girl (Girl), girl (Girl)
Fly girl
A fly girl

It’s the truth, I’ll tell no lie
Just men we dream and fantasize
About sandy brown hair and light brown eyes
A golden brown tan (Girl), big juicy thighs
Jeans so tight, you seem so right
You’re the most elusive lady (Girl) I’ve seen all night
Like a breech on the scene you’re just to cool
Your skin real soft and silky smooth
The voluptuous curves, the sway when you walk
You entice me, girl, just by the way you talk

A fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl (Fly girl)
A fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl (Fly girl)
A fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl

Well, I’m Romeo J.D. and I have learned
Fly girl is name that you must earn
Fly girls are girls who speak their minds
Some sneaky, some freaky, some mean, some kind
Cold crush waves, fly Jheri curl
Gold watch, gold ring and a neck full o’ pearls
Real slim waist, a made up face
Heads turn, eyes burn when she comes in the place
Perfume from France, put you in a trance
Fly enough to mingle, too fly too dance
High stakers, big money makers
Some fly girls are cold heart breakers
Bank accounts of unbelievable amounts
Very picky ‘bout how their name’s pronounced
Designer purse, leather miniskirts
Not a speck of dirt, can’t help but flirt
She’ll make you choke like you inhale smoke
She gave you her number, it was Dial-A-Joke
You got a real nice voice you’ll be her choice
Till another man comes in a fly Rolls Royce
The guys get jealous, how can you blame us
You live a lifestyle of the rich and famous
You play your role, guys like control
Picturin’ you as a centerfold
Now from the Romeo J.D. "C’est la vie"
Each and every one of y’all is too much for me
Could it be your style or the way you smile
That outs you on top of the pile
Queen of the Nile, oh, sweet child
Fly girl you drive me wild (You drive me wild)

A fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl (Fly girl)
A fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl (Fly girl)
A fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl, a fly girl

Girl (Girl), girl (Girl), girl (Girl-girl), girl (Girl)
Girl (Girl), girl (Girl), girl (Girl), girl (Girl)
Girl (Girl), girl (Girl)
Fly girl
A fly girl

Fly (Fly, fly, fly) girl
Fly (Fly, fly, fly) girl

Girl, girl, girl (Girl), girl (Girl)

Selling Yourself

Today is the day to "sell yourself" and no, not in the Hookers at the Point kinda way , but as if you were marketing yourself as a "brand". 

Examples:

• Covergirl --Easy, breezy, beautiful
• Ford--Built Tough
• L'oreal--Because you're worth it
• Allstate--You're in good hands 

Way Back Wed. - Double Dutch Bus

My mama had this one on a 12 inch too.
I never knew this song was really about the Philly transit system.


Double Dutch Bus ~ 1981

by Frankie Smith

Give me a HO if you've got your funky bus fare…HO

There's a double dutch bus comin' down the street
Movin pretty fast
So kinda shuffle your feet
Get on the bus and pay your fare
And tell the driver that you're
Goin' to a Double Dutch Affair
Fe Fi Fo Fum
Well I'll be darn here it comes
The Double Dutch Bus is on the street
You'd better get off the curb
Move your feet

Bus fare trans-pass
That's the way my money lasts
Ain't got no car to get around
When I go to work I've gotta go downtown
Now I've missed my train
That's a darn shame
When I'm running late no sleep's to blame
If you've gotta wife you know I'm right
Gotta special man well I can understand
Uptown, downtown everybody's getting down
Say uptown say downtown
Well I've missed my bus I know I'm late
I've gotta do something I knio0w I hate
I'm gonna walk to work fifteen blocks
I already got a hole in my socks
Go ahead and laugh that's okay
Cause what I really wanna say
I got bad feet my corns hurt
To top it off I'm lost for work
Let me tell you what I say
When I'm dealing with the funky sidewalk
Let me show you how to walk
When I gotta do my funky walk
Let me tell you what I say
When I'm dealing with the funky sidewalk
I say sssssssss-sugar

(Rep with children)

Bip, bomp, bam, alakazam
But only when you're grooving
With the Double Dutch Man
Put on your skates don't forget your rope
Cause I know I'm gonna see you
At my Double Dutch Show
Rebecca, Lolita, Veshawn and Dawn
Everytime you do the Double Dutch you really turn it on '
Bilzarbra, Mitzery, Milzetty, Kilsan
Titzommy, Kitzerrance, Kilzommy that's my man
Come on get on my Double Dutch Bus
(The Double Dutch Bus)

Let me hear you say do that
(Do that)
Let me hear you say Do that again
(Do that again)
Let me hear you say do the do
Let me hear you say do the do the do
Do the do, do do do do do

Another Damn Snow Day!

The view from my front door.

As a kid, I loved snow days.  Now, not so much.

There are 10 inches on the horizon....and not the "good" inches either!

Snoop Dogg's Fatherhood (Reality Show) - Season Finale

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Other

Surprisingly enough, this is easily one of my favorite reality shows. Snoop and his family are funny as hell. Between him, his Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles, the wife & kids, the dogs & his team, I'm always laughing.

The season finale was last nite & it made me cry (happy tears)! Snoop actually surprised his wife with a beautiful renewal ceremony.

Charlie Wilson hosted & sang. Damian Hall & Teddy Riley were there & the 3 of them sang "Let's Chill" - Snoop & Shante's song. Snoop was singing, hugging his wife & was crying! Mofo made me tear up! LMAO

The show airs on E! channel.

When Best Friends Forever Fall Out - Part I

I have 2 best friends - Nita & Linda - and 1 honorable mention - Lashon.

I've known Nita all my life.  We grew up across the street from each other.  Our uncles were running buddies before we were born.

Ironically, I met Linda thru Nita.  Linda is the paternal aunt to Nita's 2 older children.  I met her almost 2 decades ago.  I'm actually closer to Linda.  We have more in common.

As life would have it, my friendships with them both hit a rough spot & took a while to recover.  Allow me to share & you should feel free to comment.

Let me preface this portion of the story by stating I've done some dirt in my time, so I'm not judging & this particular incident was about 14 years ago (before my dirt went down).

When Nita's kids were 5, 3 and almost 2, she was seeing a married man, regularly.  I was totally against the whole situation, but I was more against her allowing her children to actually get to know this man.  I felt and still feel like if you choose to be an adulterer, no one should know but the two parties involved.  Not your kids, not your family, not your friends, well maybe your BFF for safety reasons, but no one else.

It was understood that we'd always have each others back, but knowing my friends the way I do, I made it clear that if some bullshit ever went down about their relationship with somebody else's husband, I am not & will not be involved.  Period.

Nita & her kids were in the grocery store & she spotted him.  She noticed he was with a woman who was later determined to be his wife.  They played it off & she went in the opposite direction.  As luck would have it, her daughter saw him & ran over to him.  Of course the wife wanted to know who this child belonged to & how she knew her husband. 

The wife (and her sister or cousin) approached Nita and asked how she knew her husband.  Some words were exchanged, but didn't get violent.

When Nita called me & filled me in, my reply was, "Why are you telling me? I knew this was bound to happen."  She said,"That bitch & her sister/cousin act like they wanted to jump me & I don't think it's over!" I replied, "Well dawg, that's an ass whuppin' you will take alone.  I'm not fighting any woman over any man, let alone her damn husband!"  She hung up on me.

I later found out she called several mutual friends about our falling out and the vote was split 50/50.  Half said I wasn't really her friend & should've had her back no matter what.  The other half said I gave her fair warning so she shouldn't have been surprised. One went on to say, "No, she wouldn't have been your friend if she told you she had your back and then let you get yo ass kicked."  As far as I was concerned, this chic was on the money!!

We didn't speak for 6 months.  I did call on her daughter's birthday & left a message for the kid.  She called me back & let me talk to her.  The kid was whining that she missed me & wanted to come to my house.  I told her I would come pick her up if her mama said it was ok.  She did.

I went to pick her up & we picked up also.  Neither ever bringing up the day we fell out. 

Did I say she continued seeing this dude?  Well she did, but I never said nary a word about him & neither did she.

We are still friends to this day & probably will be for the rest our lives.
