Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes" (1981)

And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes.---

Ok never knew she was saying "pro blush" what the heck is a pro blush?

There is much confusion over whether the lyrics are "she knows just what it takes to make a crow blush" or "... pro blush". Jackie DeShannon sings "crow" in her version, and Kim Carnes recorded it as "pro." The phrase "could make a crow blush" is an early 20th-century Midwestern United States colloquialism meaning that one could unease someone with little effort, and the arranger of Carnes's version was unfamiliar with the term.[citation needed][dubious – discuss] Others have misheard the lyrics as "she knows just what it takes to makes a girl blush," suggesting a bisexual undertone, although this was unintended by either DeShannon or Weiss

Or-

What does "pro blush" mean...exactly?

The term "making a pro blush" refers to being better at one's own game. For example if you are a comedian and you are making fun of someone in your audience and then all of a sudden the audience member says something that makes you shut up and move on, then that person has made a pro blush.

I always looked at "pro blush" as meaning that she could even make a prostitute blush. Not that she is coming on to a prostitute, but that she knows things that even they don't, or she's not afraid to say whatever she wants to say that is a bit...umm...offbeat.

I recently found out I was mishearing these lyrics--Africa by Toto

-

It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

-

It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do
I guess the rain's down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

I always thought it was "guess" too. Makes more sense this way.

I thought the line was "I guess it rains down in Africa"

I was listening to the expanded ATWIAD while working on something. I was frustrated and yelled "Come on!" not noticing that Prince was going to say the same thing at the same time while the title track played. Needless to say, I snapped out of my funk immediately.

My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan


um... what "plan"???

Get rid of the other man...

I've read that the 1800s era author Mary Shelley did that on her mom's grave.

"Some people call me the space cowboy

some call me the gangster of love

Some people call me Maurice

Cause I speak of the pompotous of love"

- the Joker

Steve Miller Band

"Are we human, or are we dancer?"

"Goo Goo G'Joob"

I'm pretty good with first impressions

But sometimes I'm not always right

- John Mellencamp ("Get a Leg Up")

But Mellencamp seems to throw these kinds of things in here and there. I guess it amuses him.

Pompatus[Pompitus] (/ˈpɒmpətəs/) is an unusual word used by Steve Miller famously in his 1973 hit single "The Joker". The word is probably a corruption or imagined version of the word "puppetuse," an original coinage, written by a fourteen year old Vernon Green, and subsequently released in 1954 as the Doo Wop song "The Letter" performed by himself and The Medallions -- a song which also included another original coinage, "pismotality." In other songs, 'Enter Maurice," and " The Conversation," Miller adds the word "epismetology" to "pompatus," one in spoken word, the style of "The Letter," in a likely homage to the Doo Wop song. The oddness of the word "pompatus" occasioned some attention and further use, including being used in the title of a movie.^[1]

P.S. Steve Miller's a gas. His last apperance on Stern was legendary.

Mellencamp's recent appearances there are also great. Especially the one where he explains why he can't be bothered with dating anymore.

This was our anthem driving to Pride this year

I love the Jack U Off lyrics, they're a RIOT!

When Princess does their version, Maya and Gretchen both do a little hand jive move that made me bust out laughing when I first saw them live.

That Beatles lyric is great:

a) Paul was 19 when he wrote it, and b) if you think it's pervy that's your own dirty mind, he doesn't say anything weird about the girl in the song. The one thing you can be clear about in that song is that you don't know what he means.

UFO - "ROCK BOTTOM"

"17 and Nature's Queen; you know what i mean? "

There's nothing unnatural* about either of those lyrics. Since time immemorial people and WOMEN have "got it on" before ages of consent. Which differ from state to state and country to country

One thing undeniable is that women are at their AESTHETICALLY most attractive prob from 17-30 (*if they take care of themselves, I've seen people 16 who look like they're 40!)

May I invoke Martin L Gore's sonG BLASPHEMOUS RUMORS and state that "GOD"/NATURE has got a sick sense of humor. For by all accounts, women don't hit their sexual peak until they're WELL PAST THAT AGE (*BIOLOGY - don't blame me)

Conversely, men hit it starting in their teenage years (*When most of us don't have anything: acquisitions of wealth, smarts, worldliness, maturity) HENCE, *WE LEARN TO DEAL WITH REJECTION* at an early age and sadly see some of our desired mates search out people that DO have this. And plenty societal conventions follow that most parents will actually prefer seeing their daughters off with someone of social standing and money rather than for love.

We have an inverse experience: women deal with rejection later on in life and go out looking desperate and sad sometimes in their later years finding out there's always a younger crowd.

I think this is lost on most people who sit and judge from an inherited perspective.

I for one....know EXACTLY what they mean. Unfortunately for myself and speaking ONLY for myself: this has been my experience and my relationships from that age that WERE BLOSSOMING never lasted owing up to societal conventions.

Live and sex seem to be amok, and ideal partnerships are rarely found and achieved. Its probably in nature's plan to have women breeding in their younger years and - Well ...ppl just don't have that standing to make it reasonable unless they're in rural zones

It's been said that men are their most desirable as they get older....I call LIAR on anybody who would suggest that it merely has to do with looks and character - it's ALL THE TOYS and things we have when we're older that is the modern estimate of a man's "partnership" worth.

People just BE REAL. There's nothing controversial about it. It's reality, and both men and women have disadvantages cause REALITY is skewered.

At least that's my take on it. I haven't even read "THE NAKED APE" but i know this from my years on this Earth, interacting, relationships, observations etc.

In the end we should be so FORTUNATE to have something happy and "everlasting"

Eh I'm not saying any of that, i'm just saying it's a decent lyric.
