uh-oh...that didnt sound right. i love listening to tracks with mistakes. remember when songs were done in one take. no layering, no adjusting, no tweaking, no do overs, and all that other fake sounding crap that distracts us from natural recording ablity. one of my favorite mishap is almost every album our godfather jb cuts. and what i mean by that are his lyrics. its seems like he doesnt write anything, just goes in the studio & starts jabbering...im sure there all kinds of verbal mistakes in jb history. i can think of a handful of songs that make sense. otherwise....
but other songs have less obvious mishaps, for example michael jackson saying the word "shoulders" when telling me "look over your shoulders honey" in "i'll be be there", no edits there...or even more subtle, during "for the love money" by the o'jays, there is a mini second where there is a blurb @ 2:23, someone says something about a "trick"..huh? what did you say about my mama? nah just jivin, just jivin...but in reality i have no idea what he says or what he wants to say. i just think its awesome! this recording sounds like it couldve been worked on over & over again, but noooo...one take! and there it goes... my lonely teardrop for todays pop music.ishame! are we even trying? let me know! please prove me wrong!
