Take it Off
What?
Baby,take it all off
Don't be ridiculous
I want you the way you came into the world
What is wrong with you?
I don't wanna feel no clothes
You've been at the Schnapps again
I don't wanna see no panties
Which reminds me did you bring the washing in?
and take off that brassiere my dear
I haven't worn a bra in twenty years
Do you have something to tell me?
Eveybody's gone
That's a pity
We're going to take the receiver off the phone
No,I'm expecting a call from Felicity
because baby, you and me-heh
this night,we're gonna get it on
Did you feed the cat ?
to Love's Serenade
What! I'm not putting on Eine Kleine Nachtmusik at this hour
Oh yes!! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh no!!;)
ReplyDeleteOh my!! :O
ReplyDelete(Also, I got halfway down and then Mr. White's face appeared on the side. I nearly lost it.)
Yes,Barry White leaves me speechless as well!
ReplyDeleteThe face is a good match to the song.
I'm still laughing: After reading the poem, and before commenting, I had to go and prepare the guestroom and bathroom for unexpected guests arriving in the morning. This one does it for me. :-) The not-so-subtle interplay between the couple is masterly.
ReplyDeleteThat picture on the right - the one with the strawberry and the melon is hilarious, too.
ViV
Oh, there's a novel here. Love the interplay.
ReplyDeleteHe pays about as much attention as some do who are supposed to be listening.
ReplyDeleteYou think Barry would let you leave your hat on?
Ha...I'll never know briarcat!
ReplyDeleteSometimes a turn-on's just not in the cards (or records).
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I always found Barry White to be a bit creepy, but I'm not his target audience.
Only a bit Francis? Definitely a turn-off...
ReplyDeleteShudder!
Great fun how you took the prompt & a response to it to the mat! Love the cheekiness, the poking, in all directions.
ReplyDelete:-)
This is wonderful. I agree that Barry White is creepy, but his voice, oh his voice. I can close my eyes and imagine him to be anyone. ha!
ReplyDeleteOoooh Brenda! Right on!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb.
funny girl, you gave me an idea
ReplyDeleteresponse
Great fun, Rall, even if a little unfair to Mr White. I made an earth shattering confession at Barbs!
ReplyDeleteSo...not a secret anymore Barry White fan...Am shocked!My illusion of the debonair, whiskered cultured ,uniformed, flashman character is shattered.I suppose you had 'Je t'aime moi non plus' as well. This is the French version of Barry White.
ReplyDeleteI'll put the video on my blog just for you Derrick:)
I want you the way you came into the world
ReplyDeleteLOL. I am reminded of a line from the movie Shirley Valentine. Her Greek lover waxes poetic about the beauty of her stretch marks, she looks directly into the camera and says, "Aren't men full of shit?!"
I certainly hear BW's voice in his lines here. Great fun, rallentanda!
love is a perfect companion to comedy...oh, and barry white... hey, he was sorta hot in his day... he did wonders for romance... im still laughing over the hamburger
ReplyDeletewhat a great (additional) way to use barry white!
ReplyDeleteFunny! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul,P Pie and Carolee
ReplyDeleteGlad this gave you a giggle!
And as Barry would say in his basso profundo voice
'RIGHT ON'
Oh, that's great. You made me laugh--and laugh at what is important in the face of passion.
ReplyDeleteRall
ReplyDeleteDid anyone feed the cat? And don't you just love Barry ahh come on you can tell me
Pamela
Oh Pleeeeeze!This Barry thing might have been a mistake.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandy. Laughing is what it's all about.
ReplyDeleteOK Everyone, The Pointer Sisters and Hugh Grant
ReplyDeletedo it for me. Rock On! to this great song
Jump for my love.Go for it!
Lol.. this was nice. the intermittent dialogue was awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper writing, very well done! A hilarious read.
ReplyDeleteweww....i could only smile and could hardly relate to it...
ReplyDeleteYes, couldn't relate to it.. but it did make me smile.. :) smile a lot :) thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Rall,
ReplyDeleteHave just listened to The Pointer Sisters and Serge (separately, of course) and enjoyed both. Serge is a rather more refined Barry. I never had this record; couldn't understand French, so no point! The Pointers, however, are FUN and so is Hugh. Great clip! Thanks.
Well it is certainly not in my experience either but imagination is a very useful tool in poetry or any form of writing.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you liked the Pointer Sisters and Hugh doing his dance Derrick.Good music to get you going...doing domestic stuff like cleaning the house:)Or does the second maid do that in your household?
ReplyDeleteAll that panting in French is a hoot. See ya
Wednesday Cheri!
oh my gosh ;-}
ReplyDeleterelationships are often 'no easy ride'.
great piece~
This was hilarious. Haven’t thought about Barry White since Ally McBeal playfully inserted him into our repartee. Al Green and Jacqueline du Pre do it for me…
ReplyDeleteI saw Jacqueline du Pre performing light years ago...apart from her genius she had the best hair for performance art...tossing a great mane of blond everywhere...it was wonderful!
