Welcome to Lippy Monday with a few lip related songs.
For no reason whatsoever other than it popped into my head over the weekend
I've resisted the temptation to include Funky Town by Lipps,Inc as the lip bit features in the act's name as opposed to the song and to include it would blow my chances of a follow up post.
Let's start with the Fun Boy Three and their song Our Lips Are Sealed. I'll spare you from the Urdu version.
Next up are Pulp with Lipgloss a song from their 1994 album His'n'Hers. 32 years ago, bloody hell
Even older is Lipstick by the Buzzcocks which was the b-side to the single Promises in 1978 and is also included on 1979's epic compilation Singles Going Steady.
We conclude with Louisville Lip by Freakwater:
Louisville Lip focuses on one alleged incident from the life of Louisville's most famous citizen Muhammad Ali. In 1960, Ali returned home to Louisville, Kentucky from winning the light heavyweight gold medal in the Summer Olympics in Rome. Yet, the 18-year-old faced discrimination in his hometown. Reportedly, after being refused service at a restaurant, Ali threw his gold medal into the Ohio River.
Stay tuned to CCM for more lip smaking tunes and the occassional cultural history reference
