Hello pals! Welcome to week 133 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Tucker wiv Skinny Legs by Joe Tex. Brillant linky ma lovely pal! So wot dus we dus av this week?
Joe Tex and "skinny Legs". Wow, that was a fun link. I noticed that Joe's songs were included on some sound tracks including Reservoir Dogs. Well, I seemed to recall a lot of the tunes, especially "Coconut" by Harry Nilssen. My warped mind figured that since we were doing body parts, why not throw some "coconuts" into the mix? (I hope that translates to British anatomy.) anyway, here is Nilssen doing "coconuts" from the Reservoir dogs" soundtrack.

Well done Tucker ma pal. Great win. Well so anyway I looked up Joe Tex as I never heard of dis before. I like it is very funny! Ok so I found out that Joe Tex and James Brown were rivals and had a long running feud which escalated when Brown and Tex boaf performed at the same venue in Brown's hometown.Tex believed that Brown was the one who stopped Skinny Legs hittin the top spot in the charts at the time! So I fort I wonder who else has had dis type of feud. Turns out there are quite a few. One simlar to Tex Brown that caught ma attention was between Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry!Who is to know what is true and what is spin! Not me, dats for sure but ma favourite Jerry Lee Lewis tells me one fing, there's no smoke wifout fire! So, ma linky dus be Jerry Lee Lewis wif Great Balls of Fire

So last week Tucker won with a Joe Tex song. I struggled for a bit with a link. Then I read that in later life Joe Tex converted to Islam. Another famous musician who converted to Islam was Cat Stevens. Cat. wrote a powerful and famous song The First Cut is the Deepest. The person who had the biggest hit with this song was Rod Stewart. So my link is a converts link to The First Cut is the Deepest sung by Rod Stewart. Good luck everyone and thanks for making the chain such fun.

Well done Tucker on winning with Joe Tex and his Skinny Legs and All.
Joe Tex had a habit of speaking over the background music making some credit him with being a pioneer for rap music. My link is one of the first "real" rap singles that gained chart success in the UK: Grandmaster Melle Mel with White Lines (Don't Do It).

Hello Miss Lexie…..i looked at the blog today and saw that Mr Tucker chose a song called "Skinny Legs" by Joe Tex. When I googled that song i saw that it was actually called "Skinny Legs and all"….which got me thinking about songs which have longer titles that we think they have…for example, Rock Around the Clock is actually called (We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock!. So my link this week is (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones….

Ere's a gawjuss slice of Southern hip-hop fwom da bwilliant OutKast, clever lyrics beautifully delivered on top of a fantastic arrangement n wiv a title dat Mary Poppins would be pwoud of, "SpottieOttieDopaliscious".

The last two weeks were mens singing critically about ladies physical attributes, I scratched my head and thought if there were songs by ladies criticising mens attributes, well none that were suitable for the public. Then I remembered Peggy Seeger singing The Housewife's Alphabet, though not critical of men per se however its a good warning of the trap we set ourselves. It makes me laugh/smile everytime. (Lexie: could only put in the cover version for some reason but the Peggy Seeger song is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNB8YCSTUPc).
