Is this the BEST bar song ever?

My favorite line:

stroke it clarence carter, but don't stroke too fast...
if my stuff ain't tight enough, you can stick it up my a**!

" I be strokin, that's what I be doin I be strokin' ". I would love to hear that song again just to laugh along.

You may have never heard of Clarence Carter. He is a blues artist from the late sixties and early seventies. His most well known songs were "Patches" and the title of the thread. But that is all I know of him. COOL!!???!? Cool!!!

The best! Sometime in the mid or late nineties I think that radio stations, pop stations, picked this song up again. I had no idea what the hell was going on! It was a great song and everyone loved it when they played it. And it would sure as hell beat hearing Lil' John every five seconds.

"WHAT?"

yes sir. definitely a gem.

When I start makin´ love
I don´t just make love...
I be strokin´
That´s what I be doin´, huh
I be strokin´

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best
I be strokin´

Let me ask you somethin´...
What time of the day do you like to make love
Have you ever made love just before breakfast
Have you ever made love while you watched the late, late show
Well, let me ask you this
Have you ever made love on a couch
Well, let me ask you this
Have you ever made love on the back seat of a car
I remember one time I made love on the back seat of a car
And the police came and shined his light on me, and I said:
´I´m strokin´, that´s what I´m doin´, I be strokin´´

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best
I be strokin´

Let me ask you something...
How long has it been since you made love, huh?
Did you make love yesterday
Did you make love last week
Did you make love last year
Or maybe it might be that you plannin´ on makin´ love tonight
But just remember, when you start making love
You make it hard, long, soft, short
And be strokin´
I be strokin´

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best, huh
I be strokin´

Now when I start making love to my woman
I don´t stop until I know she´s sas-ified
And I can always tell when she gets sas-ified
´Cause when she gets sas-fied she start calling my name
She´d say: ´Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter
Clarence Carter, ooooh shit, Clarence Carter´
The other night I was strokin´ my woman
And it got so good to her, you know what she told me
Let me tell you what she told me, she said:
´Stroke it Clarence Carter, but don´t stroke so fast
If my stuff ain´t tight enough, you can stick it up my...´ WOO!

I be strokin´ Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I be strokin´

I stroke it to the east
And I stroke it to the west
And I stroke it to the woman that I love the best, huh
I be strokin´
I be strokin´ Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I be strokin´, Yeah!
I be strokin´

I stroke it to the north
I stroke it to the south
I stroke it everywhere
I even stroke it with my... WOO!

I be strokin´
I be strokin´ Ha! Ha!
I be strokin´

Thanks 4 the lyrics Mochalox...

...you mean that real sad ass country-blues song that goes


"PATCH-ESSSS! Im dependin' on you SONNNNN!
to pull this fam'ly THROUUUUUGH!
Patches I'm leaving it AWLLLLL up to you....!!!!!"



That song is so sad! I always got depressed whenever I heard it...


...but then, if that's not the song you're talking about, let me just shut the hell up before I continue to embarrass myself even more .

I remember the Malaco Records Malaco Records commercial that used to run late at night for their blues compilation albums and at the end of it was Clarence Carter, in shades looking like Ray Charles sans the piano, lipsyncing "I be strokin', that's what I be doin'". LOL!!!!

Apparently Malaco Records has a blues-Weird Al Yankovich-type on their label:Poonanny. Now I've seen everything.

I thought I bought this on a compilation CD...I've gonna have to look
for it...It's definately a MUST-HAVE party starter!

Any ideas where else we could get this?
