The other day when I listened to my boys singing along to an RnB song,I was kinda shocked when I realised that they know every fuckin note from A-Z. Not only hook and verses but also aaaaall the adlibs.You know...these nice seemingly improvised melodies,words,uuuhs and ahhs that decorate the main lyrics and carry the emotion. So..I wonder....can you tell the name of a song by only hearing the adlips? No beat, no mainline, just the nice parts in the music that we like to sing along to so much.
Can you ?
HELP:
Artist: Missy Elliot
Released 1999
Adlibs taken from the hook
Songtitle contains 4 words
you'll find the correct answer HERE . DON'T CHEAT! =)
This was recorded a few weeks ago for a live radio concert.
I know that not all of you can understand the lyrics ,so I'll try to sum them up for you in really short.
The song is about trying to stop loving someone, because you know that he or she doesn't love you back anymore. Literally the author commands the one to give back his heart, because he knows and feels that he or she doesn't need it .So basically the song is about begging the one you really love to just leave, instead of keep on hurting you.
I can't translate it in the same beautiful way in that it's said in German language and believe me....writing songs about love in German and not making it sound cheesy (but real) ain't easy.
I got a little caught up in the song,haha...but I did that cover one-take and it didnt feel right to record it again just to work on the "your hair looks like the ring - LLcoolJ"- thing.=P Hope you like it anyway.
There are songs that make you laugh
and others that make you wanna sing along
and some songs just bring you back to a specific moment......
