Chicken came before knitting here. Knitting doesn't mean 'sex' on the MFC anyway, here it means 'sexual innuendo'.

 

Exactly. The chicken thing was first and since knitting is already a euphemism for shagging (outside of MFC) it would have been a natural choice.

 

I guess we just have to credit Freddie for his originality and creativity in this area. :biggrin2:

 

So you'd prefer sharp needles instead? :blink:

 

I'd prefer anything. The chicken thing makes me squeamish, especially in relation to Mika.

 

Is it the song from Hair?? *listens to performance for the first time and is too lazy to look through whole thread*

 

Nina Simone did a medley of a couple of songs from Hair and Mika is doing her version here.

I'm so glad you MFC'ers post the songs on you tube! I watched them, and it's hilarious to hear the story behind the chicken word. :biggrin2:

 

I've only one question: I'm making the lyric of the song, but I can't hear what he is actually singing at 1.59 after 'I got my arms' and before 'got my fingers'. In the original song they sing the word 'hands' but I can't hear that word when Mika is singing. Maybe someone can listen, and tell me. Or maybe there is a post where someone already has the lyric.

Here are the lyrics Scut Monkey posted:

 

Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes

Ain't got no money, ain't got no class

Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweater

Ain't got no perfume, ain't got no bed

Ain't got no mind

 

Ain't got no mother, ain't got no culture

Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schoolin'

Ain't got no love, ain't got no chicken

Ain't got no name, ain't got no token

Ain't got no god

 

What have I got

Why am I alive anyway

Yeah, so what have I got

Nobody can take away

 

I got my hair, I got my head

I got my brains, I got my ears

I got my mouth, I got my smile

I got my soul

I got my smile

 

I got my tongue, I got my chin

I got my neck, I got my boobies

I got my heart, I got my soul

I got my back

I got my sex

 

I got my arms, I got my hands

I got my fingers, I got my legs

I got my feet, I got my toes

I got my liver

I got my blood

 

I got life, I got my freedom

I got life, I got my freedom

I got life

I got life

I got my freedom

I got Nina Simone's lyrics and changed them for Mika's version - they are a fair bit different

 

Ain't Got No/I Got Life Lyrics

Artist(Band):Nina Simone

 

I ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes

Ain't got no money, Ain't got no clothes (class/cash)

Ain't got no perfume (skirts) , Ain't got no skirts (sweater)

Ain't got no sweaters,(perfume) Ain't got no smokes (? bed?)

Ain't got no god. ( life? god? mind?)

 

Ain't got no father (mother), Ain't got no mother (culture)

Ain't got no sisters,(friends) i've got one brother (ain’t got no schoolin’)

Ain't got no land,(love) Ain't got no country(chicken - we wish! - probably ticket)

Ain't got no freedom,(name) Ain't got no token

Ain't got no mind, (God)

 

Ain't got no earth, Ain't got no students

Ain't got no father, Ain't got no mother

Ain't got no sweets, Ain't got no ticket

Ain't got no token, Ain't got no mind

Ain't got no land.

 

But there is something i've got, (But what have I got?)

there is something i've got, (Oh am I alive anyway?)

there is something i've got, (Yeah, so what have I got?)

nobody can take it away...

 

Got my hair on my head (got my head)

Got my brains, Got my ears

Got my eyes, Got my nose

Got my mouth, got my smile

(Got my soul, I got my smile)

I got my tongue, Got my chin

Got my neck, Got my boobies

Got my heart, Got my soul

Got my back, I got my sex

 

I got my arms, (got) my hands, (got) my fingers,

(got) my legs, (got) my feet, (got) my toes,

and (got) my liver, (I) got my blood..

 

I got life, (I got my freedom) I got life

(I got my freedom) I got life

(I got my freedom) I've got life

I got life I got my freedom

 

i've got headaches,

and toothaches and bad times too like you ...

 

Got my hair on my head

Got my brains, Got my ears

Got my eyes, Got my nose

Got my mouth, I got my smile

I got my tongue, Got my chin

Got my neck, Got my boobies

Got my heart, Got my soul

Got my back, I got my sex

 

I got my arms, my hands, my fingers,

my legs, my feet, my toes,

and my liver, got my blood..

 

I got life, and i'm going to keep it

as long as i want it, I got life.....

 

 

heart, soul

heart, soul

 

But maybe the lyrics site I went to was sh.te!

I think that might be the case. I found a different version which Mika's was very similar to except from a slight few changes.

 

Isn't the internet wonderful?

 

When I was young .....

 

:old:

 

we had to wait ages till someone printed lyrics and sold them in little magazines!

:P

When I was younger, artists used to print the lyrics to all of their songs in their cassette/cd sleeves, now they're so darn lazy we need the internet to compensate. :naughty:

Then you're going to be mad because I just saw Miley Cyrus in a music video on Disney and she was wearing braces that were hanging down like how Mika wears them. The trend just hit America. :naughty:

 

The Suite Life of Zach and Cody is on right now. You're missing it! :original:

:roftl: Mika's lyrics are more difficult to understand than any rap song I've heard.

 

Besides I started listening to rap before you were born. :mf_rosetinted:

Do you think any suburban white kid knew what "fly", "whack" and "def" meant in 1979? We'd never even heard the term "rap" before. :blink:
