Blow Fly Oldies But Goodies

Last night I purchased an album by Blow Fly who is the alter ego of the great Clarence Reid. I've been a big fan of Clarence Reid ever since I heard his song "Masterpiece" which is very much what the song title says it is. Upon buying my first Clarence Reid record, a friend of mine told me that Clarence Reid was also this guy called Blow Fly. While Clarence Reid would sing great, clean funk and soul songs, Blow Fly would sing dirty versions of Oldies such as "Rock Around the Clock" "Love Potion #9" "Blue Moon" etc. etc, but instead of the original lyrics the songs are littered with refernces to fucking, sucking, cocks, mouth fucking, pussy, you get the picture. Now normally I wouldn't buy this record because I'm not a big fan of sex humor, jerk off humor, and ball humor. It's just kind annoying in my mind. But this is actually really funny. I mean instead of saying Love Potion Number 9, he says "So I won't fuck nobody in the behind." It doesn't flow or really rhyme at all with Love Potion Number 9 but thats what is funny about it. It's so beyond uncreative that it's actually creative. I really don't know when I would ever play this, perhaps when I'm high (like I am right now) with friends or maybe while I'm hooking up with a girl but even then it might get weird. I mean he talks about sticking a corn cob up a girls ass. That's not even kinky. That's borderline torture. And did I fail to mention he inserts these lines into doo wop oldies of the 50's and 60's? I never thought I would hear the words "tight pussy" and "asshole" in "In the Still Of The Night." There's nothing "still" about this version. And the song I just heard was his version of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." And what do you think Blow Fly sung instead of the famous lyric "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes???" Can you predict it? You guessed it! "Old Age Got In My Dick." What did you think he would sing? "Cum Gets In Your Eyes?" Nope. This is Blow Fly not Eminem.....HOLY SHIT! Right now he is singing "I Only Have Eyes For You" and instead of the background singers saying "Doo Wop Shoo Wop" througout the song, they are saying "Suck a Cock." This is the best record ever! and something that I just realized is great about this record and black people in general is that after Blow Fly delivers a dirty sex lyric, there are black people in the background laughing like black people. You know the laugh which is preceded with an almost blood curdling scream? The Black Laugh.
