Whip It Lyrics

Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back

When a problem comes along you must Whip It
Before the cream sits out too long you must whip it
When something's going wrong you must whip it

Now whip it into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late to whip it
Whip it good

When a good time turns around you must whip it
You will never live it down unless you whip it
No one gets their way until they whip it
I say whip it whip it good
I say whip it whip it good

Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back

When a problem comes along you must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long you must whip it
When something's going wrong you must whip it

Now whip it into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late to whip it into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late to whip it
Whip it good

Whip It Song Chart

Jerry Casale and Mark Mothersbaugh formed Devo when they were at Kent State University. Jerry told us how this song came together:

"Whip It, like many Devo songs, had a long gestation, a long process. The lyrics were written by me as an imitation of Thomas Pynchon's parodies in his book Gravity's Rainbow . He had parodied limericks and poems of kind of all-American, obsessive, cult of personality ideas like Horatio Alger and 'You're #1, there's nobody else like you' kind of poems that were very funny and very clever. I thought, 'I'd like to do one like Thomas Pynchon,' so I wrote down 'Whip It' one night. Mark had recorded some sketches for song ideas in his apartment, and when we'd get together every day to write, rehearse and practice, we would listen to everybody's snippets of ideas. He had this tape with about eight things on it, and one of them had a drum beat that was very interesting, it became the 'Whip It' drum beat.

Then three other songs had pieces of what became the 'Whip It' song, except they were in different time signatures and different tempos. I put them all together into one composition. All the parts of the song got rolled into one song. Then we started putting the lyrics over the top of it and liked the idea of how it was working out. We started practicing it every day, until we got it to the point where we really liked it and we thought it was really snappy. Then we recorded it. We didn't like it any better or any less than any of the other songs we were doing, and we had no idea it would become a hit." (Here's our full Devo interview .)

This became a hit when it was picked up by a radio programmer from Florida. He played it on some stations there and created the buzz that made it a hit. Says Jerry: "It spread around the country. All the DJs and people hearing it assumed it was a song about beating off or sadomasochism, so we let them think that. We didn't want to ruin it and tell them the truth, because they just wouldn't get off on the truth."

When MTV launched in 1981, they had very few videos to choose from. Some European and Australian artists had been making videos, but very few came from US artists, and most of those were concert videos. Devo had been making interesting videos for a while because they thought Laser Discs were going to catch on and wanted to make film shorts with music soundtracks that people could watch on them. Laser Discs never caught on, but MTV did, which gave this video lots of exposure.

Jerry Casale: "We made a video to it for like $15,000 that was shot in our rehearsal studio. We kind of magnified that myth that this was a song about whipping and sadomasochism. We decided to make the video feed that popular misconception and had a lot of fun doing it. It was one of the few times Devo worked like that, usually we would start with a visual idea or story and write music to fit it. In this case, we didn't originally have a video idea for 'Whip It,' and when people started thinking it was a song about whacking off or sadomasochism, we had these quack books that we would collect from junk stores or vintage magazine stores that served as inspiration or jokes. There was this one magazine that I found in a store in Santa Monica. It was a 1962 men's girlie mag called Dude, I think.

There was a feature article on a guy who had been an actor and fell on hard times, he wasn't getting parts anymore. He moved with his wife to Arizona, opened a dude ranch and charged people money to come hang out at the ranch. Every day at noon in the corral, for entertainment, he'd whip his wife's clothes off with a 12-foot bullwhip. She sewed the costumes and put them together with Velcro. The story was in the magazine about how good he was and how he never hurt her. We had such a big laugh about it, we said, 'OK, that's the basis for the video. We'll have these cowboys drinking beer and cheering Mark on as he's in the barnyard whipping this pioneer women's clothes off while the band plays in the corral.'

Back then, nobody cared. MTV had just started up in three cities, we had already shot 5 videos before Whip It, and nobody cared. There was no industry around it, there were no gatekeepers, there was no pecking order, there were no video commissioners, there were no representatives going, 'No, you can't do that, we won't show that.' There wasn't enough money or power involved for anybody to care, so we were just considered crazy artists that went out and did whacko things. So we made the video and one day we started showing it in concerts and then MTV started playing it."

Mark Mothersbaugh told us: "We had just done our second world tour when we started writing our third album. The one thing that we were impressed with that we noticed everywhere around the world was that everybody was totally freaked out by American politics and American foreign policy. At the time, Jimmy Carter was in charge. I thought of 'Whip It' as kind of a Dale Carnegie, 'You Can Do It' song for Jimmy Carter."

This was one of the first hit songs that used a synthesizer as the lead instrument.

Devo's music and videos were based on the concept of "De-Evolution," meaning that mankind is regressing. They dressed alike in their videos to convey the lack of individuality in the world. Said Casale, "I think a lot of Devo is in 'Whip It.' There's Americana mixed with something menacing, there's irony and humor, there's a hook and a big dance beat, there are interesting synth parts, lyrics that aren't the typical lyrics about getting laid or losing your baby. Although we weren't trying, it was a pretty concentrated dose of Devo in 'Whip It.'"

Jerry Casale: "From the beginning, on purpose, Devo was a multimedia idea. There was no name for 'Performance Art' at the time. That term didn't exist, although I think that's what we were doing when I look back at it. It's exactly that, Devo represented an attitude, a point of view, a philosophy. It was like combining film-making and theatrics and cutting-edge kind of synthesizers and rock beats all rolled into one big performance with a lifestyle message behind it, which was basically to beware of illegitimate authority and think for yourself. Hardly a revolutionary idea, but it turns out to be more revolutionary as people's freedoms are slowly eaten away."

In 2003, this was used in a commercial for Swiffer wet mops. In the ad, a woman cleans the house with a Swiffer while doing robotic motions like Devo. When her daughter, who appears to be a junior-high Goth girl, sees her, she says, "I hope it's not genetic."

Jerry's thoughts: "The concept of that commercial is a generation gap where 'Whip It' is being used as a put-down of the girl's mother. She's stuck in the '80s and swiffing away to Whip It and the kid thinks she's weird and is embarrassed by her. It's perfect that while Devo, when we came out we were a critical success and loved by people, we were pretty much overlooked by radio and MTV. MTV turned on Devo around 1981 and quit showing stuff and didn't want anything to do with us. They said, 'Unless your song's a hit, we're not playing your videos.' What's funny is, we never made any money, and only through publishing now are we making money, ironically for the wrong reason. But built into Devo was that comment on how society works and how people see things different ways and there is no one explanation of reality and that people do not share one logical idea of reality. This just proves it. We don't feel bad about the little bit of money that trickles to us now that we never got in the first place because they used these songs in a terrible way. It's almost more subversive because you go, 'This can't be, it's all wrong.' By misusing it so badly, they've created something that amuses us, entertains us."

Proctor & Gamble, who make the Swiffer, originally had them re-record this for the commercial as "You must swiff it," but their lawyers found out that copyrighting "Swiff It" and the product implications down the line could cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars, so they changed the lyrics to "You must Swiffer" so they wouldn't have to copyright "Swiff It."

Because of a bad publishing deal Devo made in 1978, they control only half the rights to their songs. When they allow their songs to be used in commercials, they insist on re-recording them so they can keep all the performance rights. In the Swiffer commercial, that is Mothersbaugh's vocal with lyrics written by Proctor & Gamble.

This has also been used in ads for Gateway, Twix and Pringles. In the Gateway commercial, the chairman of the company is driving an 18-wheeler with the Gateway cow riding shotgun. The cow produces a CD labeled "Cow Mix," and when they listen to it, this comes on and the chairman and the cow sing along. That ad is one of Mothersbaugh's favorites.

This was Devo's only hit, but they have a large cult following, and many of their songs have been resurrected for commercials. Members of Devo started a company called Mutato Muzika (www.mutato.com) that develops music for movies, TV shows and commercials. Jerry is a successful director, and has worked on videos by Rush, The Foo Fighters, Soundgarden and many others.

This song is playable in Donkey Konga for the Nintendo GameCube. (thanks, Matthew - Milford, MA)

Senior citizen singers the Del Rubio triplets made this song a big part of their stage show, performing it on acoustic guitars. They made many TV appearances in the '80s, usually performing in a campy style and wearing skimpy outfits.

The Brian Welch fronted nu-metal band Love and Death covered this in 2013 for their Between Here & Lost album. Their version features Matt Baird of the Arkanas hard rock band Spoken. Welch recalled to Noisecreep : "He was just in town during the recording and Jaren (Rauch, producer) mentioned it. He said it would be cool to have a guy to scream on there and so I totally tried it. You wouldn't believe it, at nine in the morning, he got up - you're hearing him with morning voice and everything and we just threw him on there."

Burning Bridges Lyrics

When all your love is lost
And Burning Bridges can't be crossed
Lord won't you let me know
Or give me one more reason to go

When all your love is lost
And burning bridges can't be crossed
Lord won't you let me know
Or give me one more reason to go

I done took all I could take from you
Need a little bit more than a break from you
Matter of fact fuck you, don't need you in my life
You done did so much wrong I hope you get it right
But not at my expense, I did all I could do
You just took me for granted, you thought I was a fool
When I did everything in my power to help and please you
But I don't know you no more, fuck it, I caught amnesia
Too many emotions I try to bury
But the higher I climb, the less weight I'm trying to carry
And niggas holdin' on for dear life, bringin' me drama
But I'm only responsible for my daughters Cai and Karma
Nigga you's a grown man, get yourself together
Forget about the past, now's a better time than never
Matter of fact, it's time to start making better decisions
So put your fires out, and stop burning 'Cris' bridges
You little bitches

When all your love is lost
And burning bridges can't be crossed
Lord won't you let me know
Or give me one more reason to go

Yeah, this industry's full of bullshitters
And all this time you thought you had me fooled niggas
In my Ferrari, partner thought he saw a spaceship
'Cause I move in speed not to get caught up in this fake shit
Smiling in my face when I'm around y'all
But soon as I leave, niggas be prayin' on my down fall
Is it cause you'll never sell as many records?
My bitches always look better, you fail at business endeavors?
Or that people thought you were clever, but now they know you stupid?
And misery loves company now that you're going through it?
Somebody tell these rappers I worked hard in these Louis
So get out of here, you don't want no parts in this shit, do we?
I see them drugs got y'all trippin' too soon
That's why you find me in the club, every once in a blue moon
So while you contemplate making your first million
I'll be somewhere contemplating on making my first billion
And then, trillion

When all your love is lost
And burning bridges can't be crossed
Lord won't you let me know
Or give me one more reason to go

The biggest mistake we make as individuals
Is thinking everyone lives by the same principles
But when I talk by the same teachers or principals
For you to know it's not the money, it's the principle
So I can't expect you to know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Our issues are deep within, we can't just talk 'em out
Niggas is fighting inside, we can't just walk 'em out
These bridges burning so fast, we can't just stomp 'em out
As if you know what I'm talkin' 'bout

When all your love is lost
And burning bridges can't be crossed
Lord won't you let me know
Or give me one more reason to go

The title track of Ludacris' Burning Bridges EP, the rapper explained to Billboard magazine the song is about, "where you talk about friends that have crossed you and you think everything is gonna be cool."

He added: "But you realize being in the industry and having fame and fortune, it's inevitable you're going to have to sacrifice certain relationships just because when you get all this success, people think you're the one changing, but they're the ones that changed based on your success."

Ludacris recorded a second version for the deluxe edition of his Ludaversal album, this time featuring vocals by country star Jason Aldean.

School Day Lyrics

Up in the mornin' and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
American history and practical math
You studyin' hard and hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone

Ring, ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunch room's ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom, open your books
Keep up the teacher don't know how mean she looks

Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get outta your seat
Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint, you go in

Drop the coin right into the slot
You're gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
With the one you love, you're makin' romance
All day long you been wantin' to dance,
Feeling the music from head to toe
Round and round and round we go

Drop the coin right into the slot
You're gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
With the one you love, you're makin' romance
All day long you been wantin' to dance,
Feeling the music from head to toe
Round and round and round we go

Hail, hail rock and roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock and roll
The beat of the drums, loud and bold
Rock, rock, rock and roll
The feelin' is there, body and soul

School Day Song Chart

Many people mistakenly think the title is the first line in the last verse, "Hail, hail, rock 'n' roll." The line was used as the title for a 1988 rock documentary featuring Berry.

The song is about high school life in the '50s. Teenagers were the target audience for most rock music in that era, and Berry knew that he could sell a lot of records by appealing to this crowd.

This was Berry's first hit in the UK.

Berry released a follow-up to this in 1971 called "Lonely School Days (Version 2)."

Bye Bye Johnny Lyrics

She drew out all her money out of the Southern Trust
And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound bus
Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West
Down came the tears from her happiness
Her own little son name 'o Johnny B. Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood

Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye Bye Johnny
Good bye Johnny B. Goode

She remembered taking money out from gathering crop
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble he was satisfied
But never thought that there would come a day like this
When she would have to give her son a goodbye kiss

Going, bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny
Bye bye Johnny B. Goode

She finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told 'er he had fell in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for 'em by the railroad track
So every time they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be a' standin', a' wavin' in the kitchen door

Howling, bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny
Good bye Johnny B. Goode

That's Christmas to Me Lyrics

The fireplace is burning bright, shining along me
I see the presents underneath the good old Christmas tree
And I wait all night 'til Santa comes to wake me from my dreams
Oh, why? 'Cause That's Christmas to Me

I see the children play outside, like angels in the snow
While mom and daddy share a kiss under the mistletoe
And we'll cherish all these simple things wherever we may be
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

I've got this Christmas song in my heart
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

I listen for the thud of raindeer walking on the roof
As I fall asleep to lullabies, the morning's coming soon
The only gift I'll ever need is the joy of family
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

I've got this Christmas song in my heart (song in my heart)
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

Oh, the joy that fills our hearts and makes us see
Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me

I've got this Christmas song in my heart
I've got the candles glowing in the dark
And then for years to come we'll always know one thing
That's the love that Christmas can bring
Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me

That's Christmas to Me Song Chart

This heartwarming song celebrates the spirit of a traditional holiday. The title track of Pentatonix's second holiday release following their 2012 EP PTXmas, it is the one original tune on the collection. Katy Lou Clark and Penny Lea Clark of the bluegrass trio Purple Hulls penned the cut.

Pentatonix's Kevin Olusola told Billboard magazine why they recorded an original song for the album. "We just wanted a song that focuses on the nostalgia of Christmas," he said. "For us, we are gone so much on the road. The only time we get to spend with family is during Christmas. So we wanted to write a song that kind of focuses on that."

"We're just so happy how it turned out -- it's a simple song that people can truly gravitate to," Olusola continued. "Musically it's kind of complex, but the simplicity and the musicality is what makes the song come to life."

Memphis Lyrics

Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

Memphis Song Chart

Chuck Berry wrote this and recorded it in 1959 as "Memphis, Tennessee." It languished as the B-side of his Back In The U.S.A. single, but was revived when the white blues guitarist Lonnie Mack covered it in 1963. With the title shortened to "Memphis," his version went to #5 in the US.

Johnny Rivers, who had some success as a songwriter (Rick Nelson's "I'll Make Believe"), but had yet to score a hit as an artist, landed a regular gig in 1963 at the Whisky a Go Go, a popular club on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles (The Doors would later make their mark playing shows at The Whiskey). In 1964 he released a live album recorded at the club called Johnny Rivers At The Whisky a Go Go, with "Memphis" issued as a single. It became a huge hit for Rivers, going to #2 in America and launching a career that included nine Top 10 singles. He also had tremendous influence on the business side; he started a record label called Soul City which signed the Fifth Dimension and Jimmy Webb .

This song tells quite a story and has an interesting twist ending. We hear about the singer getting a phone call from a girl who wouldn't leave a number, but he knows it came from Memphis, Tennessee. He calls the operator, trying to locate his girl Marie (which conveniently rhymes with "Tennessee"), who he thinks is the one trying to reach him. At the end of the song, we find out that Marie is his six-year-old daughter, and that he is a divorced father trying desperately to get in touch with her.

Chuck Berry drew on accounts he heard from friends and acquaintances to craft his lyric. "I had known couples who had divorced and the tragedies of the children," he said.

Rivers followed up this song with another Chuck Berry cover: "Maybellene," which went to #12 in the US.

In February 1972, John Lennon and Yoko Ono spent a week hosting The Mike Douglas Show. During this stint, Lennon performed this song and "Johnny B. Goode" with Chuck Berry, who Lennon referred to as "my hero." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

This song made a return to the charts in 1981 when Fred Knoblock's cover made #10 on the Country charts and bubbled under at #102 on the Hot 100.

Baby don't use dirty dishes or else you might whip up a burr!
My neck, my wrists is a burr!
She wanna fuck my dogs I'm like "woof"
Panoramic roof, I drop the coupe, boo
Pulled up with a bitch, she look like New New
It's okay if I lie to you, bitch, I swear the truth
Hey, she come right back like them divers do
Fifty thousand off fifty niggas, no caliber

Ass fat, yeah I know, you just got cash? Blow sum mo'
Blow sum mo', blow sum mo'
The more you spend it, the faster it go
Bad bitches, on the floor, tt's rainin' hunnid's, throw sum mo'
Throw sum mo', throw sum mo', throw sum mo'

Slim Jimmy and Swae Lee recruited Nikki Minaj to croon the hook of this strip club banger. The Mississippi rappers previously worked with the Queen Barb when she added a verse to their "No Flex Zone" track. She praised the duo for this cut, tweeting that it goes "hard as f---."

Atlanta rapper Young Thug spits the third verse in which he boasts about losing count about the number of women he's had sex with. Slim Jimmy told Complex about the collaboration: "It was DJ Drama's studio and Young Thug was in there," he said. "We went in there and just did it so fast. He's dope. He's funny."

This was the first time the Rae Sremmurd duo had met Nicki Minaj. Slim Jimmy recalled to Complex: "She walked in looking like the most beautiful woman on the planet, and everything was in slow motion. Then time stopped. I couldn't say anything because my mouth wouldn't open. I was trying to say Hi, but I couldn't."

Lead singer and guitarist Johnny Rzeznik wrote this. It's about a girl who has an abortion. Her boyfriend is being very supportive, declaring his love for her and asking her to just "let it slide" and move on with their lives. (thanks, Jen - Mt. Laurel, NJ)

Rzeznik said of this before performing it on VH1 Storytellers: "The song is actually about these two teenage kids, and the girlfriend gets pregnant, and they're trying to decide whether she should get an abortion, or they should get married or what should go on..." (thanks, Johnny - Boston, MA)

This continued a string of hits for the Goo Goo Dolls that were not typical of their hard-rocking sound. This, "Name," "Iris," and "Black Balloon" were all ballads.

The Goo Goo Dolls performed this on Sesame Street in a duet with Elmo as "Pride." The lyrics were changed to be about things that give kids pride, like helping mom bake an apple pie.

The band performed this in late 1998 at the American Music Awards. They were introduced by an unknown brunette named Britney Spears. (thanks, Britney - Calabasas, CA)

Nancy Bardawil shot the music video in downtown Los Angeles in and around the El Dorado Hotel. According to VH1's Pop Up Video, the director used a hand-cranked 100-year-old camera to get some of the stuttery shots and put water over the lens for the blurred effect in the diner scenes.

Deeply Dippy Lyrics

Deeply Dippy 'bout the curves you got
Deeply hot, hot for the curves you got
Deeply dippy 'bout the fun we had
Deeply mad, mad for the fun we had

Oh my love, I can't make head nor tail of passion
Oh my love, let's set sail for seas of passion now

Deeply dippy bout the way you walk
A contact sport, let the neighbours talk
Deeply dippy I'm your Superman
I'll explain, you're my Lois Lane

Oh my love, I can't make head nor tail of passion
Oh my love, let's set sail for seas of passion now

Deeply dippy bout your Spanish eyes,
Sierra smile, legs that go on for miles and miles
(Oh, see those legs man!)
Miles and miles

(I said)oh my love, I can't make head nor tail of passion
Oh my love, so let's set sail for seas of passion
Oh my love, I can't make head nor tail of passion
Oh my love, so let's set sail for seas of passion now

Deeply Dippy Song Chart

The brothers Richard and Fred Fairbrass were an acoustic duo before teaming up with guitarist Rob Manzoli and becoming Right Said Fred. Their first two singles were whimsical dance songs: "I'm Too Sexy" and "Don't Talk Just Kiss." This mellow song is a return to their roots, with Richard Fairbrass singing a tender ode to a lady love.

The song caught fire in their native UK, going all the way to #1. In America, however, it sank without a trace, leaving stateside audiences with the impression that Right Said Fred were one-hit wonders.

In our interview with Right Said Fred , Fred Fairbrass explained that this song started with the title. "We just liked the repetition," he explained. "We liked each verse starting with the title of the song. That was it, really. Nothing more than that. We just liked the nursery rhyme nature of it."

The horn section on this song was comprised of:

Molly Duncan - saxophone
Sid Gauld - trombone
Neil Sidwell - trumpet

Duncan is a founding member of the Average White Band.

The music video, directed by James Lebon, shows the band fashionably larking about amongst a bevy of beautiful people.

This clip was deemed "too gay" for the American market, so their American label had them shoot another one, which the Fairbrass brothers remember being on board the Queen Elizabeth 2. Since the song did so poorly in America, this video was never released.

Plaster Caster Lyrics

Baby's getting anxious, the hour's getting late
The night is almost over, she can't wait

Oh, things are complicating, my love is in her hands
And there's no more waiting, she understands

The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection, her collection

Plaster Caster, grab a hold of me faster
And if you wanna see my love, just ask her
And my love is the plaster
And yeah, she's the collector
She wants me all the time to inject her

The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection

Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
And if you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her
Go on, ask her

The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection
A token of my love for her collection, her collection

Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
If you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her

Plaster caster, plaster caster
She wants my love to last her, last her, last her
And she calls me by the name of master, master

Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
If you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her

Plaster caster, plaster caster
Grab a hold of me faster, plaster, faster
And if you wanna see my love, just ask her, ask her
Plaster caster, plaster caster

Plaster Caster Song Chart

This song is about a Chicago groupie known as Cynthia Plaster Caster. When they were assigned an art project to plaster cast "something solid that could retain it's shape," Cynthia and her friends Dianne and Marilyn came up with a clever way to get backstage and have a unique interaction with band members (or band's members): they would made molds of their penises in plaster of paris.

Carrying around an official looking "kit," their plan worked and they succeeded in making casts for many musicians and their associates, most notably Jimi Hendrix, who had an exceptionally large cast. The Plaster Casters are discussed in detail in a chapter on groupies in Jerry Hopkins' book The Rock Story, and some excellent reading is available at Cynthia's Website . (thanks, Ekristheh - Halath)

How did Cynthia Plaster Caster feel about this song? Here's what she told us in 2014:

"When someone first alerted me to the song 'Plaster Caster,' I wasn't too thrilled. It seemed like Gene Simmons wrote the song to make people think that he'd been casted, which he most certainly never was. But years later when Evan Dando's band the Lemonheads covered it, I started to notice how catchy the melody was. Nowadays, I'm all right with the song. Don't LOVE it, but I like it. If it's changed my life, I'm not aware of it."

The members of Kiss were never molded by Cynthia, but the band is notorious for their backstage activities with groupies. Gene Simmons is rumored to have a collection of Polaroids that would make Larry Flynt blush.

Cynthia Plaster Caster is one of the greatest groupies of the golden era of groupies, which was the mid-'60s to the late '70s. Competition was fierce for the attention of rock stars, and Cynthia had a gimmick that made her so renown, musicians would seek her out. Beyond the gimmick, however, Cynthia was very astute: she worked in a team, doing most of her damage with her apprentice Dianne. She had a penchant for British acts, so she learned their dirty language, which got their attention; she knew that "rig," "chopper" and "Hampton wick" were all cockney slang for penis, so she would often open an encounter by asking, "how's your rig," then introducing her services. A master of marketing, she had business cards and T-shirts, branding her and Dianne "The Plaster Casters of Chicago." She was so successful that impostors came on the scene and started stealing her act, but boys in the band always wanted the real thing.

Frank Zappa considered Cynthia a brilliant conceptual artist, and brought her to California. Zappa, who was introduced to the Casters by Eric Clapton, never got casted, but was always coming up with ideas for how they could present their art. The casts have been exhibited from time to time, but Zappa didn't live long enough to pull off his idea for a "Cock Rock" exhibit featuring the casts.

Don't Talk Just Kiss Song Chart

In our interview with the Fairbrass brothers of Right Said Fred, Fred Fairbrass explained the inspiration for this song: "I had a girlfriend, Vicki. We were arguing, and she actually said to me, 'Don't talk, just kiss.' We liked the title, and then Rob [Manzoli, guitarist] had this neat guitar line. Rich and I wrote the verse, and the little acoustic thing was mine. So we pieced it together with bits and pieces that we had hanging around and it got built around the title."

This was the second Right Said Fred single, following "I'm Too Sexy," which was a #1 hit in America and made #2 in the UK. British listeners were very receptive this follow-up single, but American audiences turned their backs on it and the song stalled at #76, marking the last Hot 100 entry for the band. "Sexy" was so pervasive in America that radio stations were still playing it when "Don't Talk Just Kiss" was released, and interest in another Right Said Fred offering was close to nil. The band became known as a one-hit wonder in America, but in the UK they did even better with their next single, "Deeply Dippy," which hit #1.

The soul singer Jocelyn Brown contributed vocals to this track and appeared in the video. Brown's voice was all over the airwaves at the time, as she had been sampled in the Snap! hit "The Power."
