The writing, whatever it is from, just makes me cringe in awe Could be the greatest lyrics ever written for a song, next to UnderworldвЂ™s Born Slippy.ДЄs IвЂ™m writing this, YouTube contains versions of the song with over 300,000 views, and such comments as: These are the greatest words ever spoken in a dance track. The meaning of the absurd ironically lyrics has been widely discussed, but thatвЂ™s the meaning, they are not ment to be understood in only one way вЂ“ you gotta check it out yourself. One of the finest Yoshitoshi records ever made. That repeated вЂњYou Are SleepingвЂќ sample has an acapella which is a good DJ tool and as most PQM productions go, they have nice breakdowns and builds. The actual vocal samples are what makes this record a must have. The entire production is tight, clean and grooves from start to finish. The story the dude tells is ultra-seedy, but at the same time also has very humane elements to it. The monologue flows perfectly in time with the underlying rhythm, and is more than just the bunch of random samples that is so often used in dance music. I have heard it on several mix albums and also played at several club nights and I never tire of hearing it. For example, the Discog pages for the various versions of the track contain reviews like the following: A superb piece of music. However, the Internet attests to the value that many attribute to it. Opinions likely differ as to whether this is an interesting or valuable piece of poetry/prose. The name of the track this is on is вЂњYou Are SleepingвЂќ by вЂњ PQMвЂњ, AKA вЂњDJ Prince Quick Mix,вЂќ AKA Manuel Napuri. You just think, what a bum rap for a nice, sensitive guy like me. One night they spot you on the street in your skivvies,

That keeps her off the streets a whole day.ДЄ week later, you say, 'listen, I'm a little short.' 'Once this guy gives me a bill and a half just to eat me. 'But,' she says, 'sometimes I get lucky.' You say, 'that's seven tricks a day at least.' She says, 'three hits a day at thirty-five per.' She says, 'ten bucks for head, fifteen for half and half.' One of them contains the following story, lifted in its entirety from that record he found: You pick up this working girl, So, around that time, he produced a couple of new tracks. He had produced a few of his own tracks by the late 90s/early 2000s, and thought it might be neat to sample some of that spoken word stuff for his next couple of recordings.

That record contained hundreds of snippets of spoken word poetry recording in and around LA in the early 1980s. Once upon a time a hiphop radio DJ found an old piece of vinyl lying around. Writer(s): WALTER MARTINLyrics powered by from the wonderful filming available here.

Going off to college, so I had to save up But delivering roses really sucks Sweating all summer in a slimy tux But at least I made a couple bucks Freshman in college, I was delivering pizza But to deliver one pie, half an hour round trip And college kids, man, they don't tip And so I quit It was their loss 'Cos I was the only driver not stealing from the boss Siphoning gas from students' cars Metropolitan Museum at the telephone switchboard When a caller would ask for Phillip de Montebello I'd transfer to my apartment, where an unsespecting fellow My roommate Stuart, who was sound asleep Would answer the phone when he heard the beep And pretty quickly they'd realise that he wasn't Phillip Information counter at the Cloiser's Museum And one day, Billy Joel walks in I take a long, long look at him A dignified old music man That's when I devised my plan That little plan has bought me here Where the spotlights shine and the people all cheer And the pretty girls flock from far and near To touch my hand, and hear my songs And buy my t-shirts, and sing along God damn, this sure beats mowing lawns Mowing lawns, saving up for a guitar When I was fifteen, and long and lean And just like that grass, boy, I was green Delivering roses in Washington D.C.
