Demis Roussos - I Dig You

Hard not to dig that outfit, anyways.

You know those Disco songs in which the singer acts as a slick man with a high libido, trying to attract a woman with his words and witty pickup lines? This is one of them, or at least it was meant to be. But Demis Roussos was not gonna settle for that, normally a guy from Greece whose music is not my cup of coffee, he did catch the disco fever during the 70s and has a very popular song called "L.O.V.E. Got A Hold On Me" which received some attention in the U.S.

This one being a rather rare treat, Mr. Roussos goes Teddy Pendergrass in this one and scares the shit out of that woman with his flirtatious lyrics and aggressive vocals, while possibly getting to impress her. How about them Arabic music tinged strings on the chorus, that bassline, and those synths? Totally a unique mix of them components I have mentioned and a classic Disco song that has "win" written all over it. Go ahead and click the play button, cause you'll be digging the-eee-eee-eee-eee-ees song.

Jackie Mittoo - Ram Jam

Mr. Mittoo during a little "coke-n-smoke" break.

Jackie Mittoo was a very prolific Jamaican musician, who poured his talent on keyboards to create numerous great memorable tracks. Though known mostly for being a mentor for many young artists and working as a producer of sorts for the renowned record label Studio One, he did have some tracks with his name on top. This track has some other versions, most of which are faster in terms of tempo, and I don't know which one is the most famous or the most appreciated, but this version is a treat for your ears too. Listen to the way the drummer goes to work with those sidesticks, and Mr. Mittoo, roaring over the beat with his organ. Just makes you sit back and nod your head to the beat. Hypnotic.

Lord Kitchener - Love in The Cemetery

Love in the cemetery? Naaa, just a rehearsal on stage.

How kinky, Kitch. A cemetery as a venue for making love? That's what great masterminds involved in porn been thinking of, lately. The fact that making love in the cemetery hit your mind WAY before them makes you a pioneer. Not to mention friendly zombies who been struggling with loneliness and are offering a play of cards, this song is way ahead its time. You might say his idea to have sex in a cemetery, possibly near people's graves is gross (with a valley-girl accent, s'il vous plait?) and unacceptable, but what's unacceptable is what forced Kitch to go to a cemetery (which is nearly always a secluded place) to have sex without worrying about things. Prying eyes, narrow minds criminalizing sex under the title of "adultery" and shit.

Yeah yeah without further ado, I bring the treat to you, a beat that is wayyy off the chain, the rhyming on the chorus is pretty catchy too, y' talk about run and clicking the play button!
