“Super Fine,” The Soul Generation<\/a><\/p>\n

Greetings, seekers of the rare, the weird and the incredibly cheap! Here’s today’s installment of Thrifty Music for your thoughtful consideration — a dynamic chunk of funk from The Soul Generation<\/strong> entitled “Super Fine.” In it — over one of the slammin’est, most groove-a-licious tracks you’ll ever hear — this four-piece vocal combo (seen above in their flyest of superfly pimp finery) offers you some sound relationship advice, to wit:<\/p>\n

If you love a girl
\n(If you love a girl)
\nAnd she’s super fine
\n(super fine, super fine)
\nBLOW HER MIND!
\n(Why don’t you blow it — hey, hey, hey… YEAAHHH! WOOOOO!)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The next line concerns the need to also be sure to “know her sign,” and so forth. <\/p>\n

Look, like a lot of tunes from this era, the lyric is a bit silly, but the sheer enthusiasm of the vocal performance — and<\/em> the way you can really feel the band sink their gold teeth into that mighty, mighty groove — well, it makes for a Great artefact of a bygone musical era, sez me. I just love this song.<\/p>\n

But here’s my probing Thrifty Question: I think we’d all agree that if you love a girl, and she’s super fine, you really ought to blow her mind. But is there any other lyric that contains what you’d sincerely consider good relationship advice?<\/em> I know we make a lot of fun of the loincloth-wearing misogyny of a lot of retardo-rock — but there must be some good bits of advice that rock has to offer, as well. Share your favorites.<\/p>\n

I look forward to your responses.<\/p>\n
