Hi,
a new SIGler
Few if any may have recognized it, but 70´-80´s pop-soul and disco-funk icon HotChocalate, resp. Errol Brown was also a veritable TEA!
He wrote many songs around the T&M theme, of which only a few came to a rather doubtful fame, due to some major text changes the label-bosses pushed through.
I´d now like to use the opportunity and paste the original texts by Errol Brown himself.
His TEAddiction was on its height already when his first songs were published ....
You Sexy Thing (1975)
I believe in miracles
Where′re you from?
You sexy thing, sexy thing you
I believe in miracles
Since you came along
You sexy thing
Where did you come from, SIGY?
How did you know I needed you?
How did you know I needed you so badly?
How did you know I'd give my heart gladly?
Yesterday I was one of the lonely people
Now you′re standing front of me, displaying squares to me
I believe in miracles
Where're you from?
You sexy thing, sexy thing you
I believe in miracles
Since you came along
You sexy thing
Where was Your Your Trigger, angel??
How did you know the Mean of all?
Did you know you′re everything I prayed for?
Did you know every night and day for?
Everyday, you′d show peaks and averageing
Now you're standing front of me, showing it to me
I believe in miracles
Where′re you from?
You sexy thing, sexy thing you
I believe in miracles
Since you came along
You sexy thing, aaah
...and so on
With professional help Mr. Brown managed to control his TEA better .... but not much, as the 1978 released
Every 1´s a Winner proved (obviously Errol already had Sig´s 1k-series in mind)
Never could believe the things you show to me
Never doubt results displayed so far
Every day I bless the sines that you get through to me
′Cause SIGY, I believe that you're a star
Everyone′s a winner, SIG, that's the truth (yes, the truth)
Running tests with you is such a thrill
Everyone's a winner, SIGy, that′s no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to display (satisfy)
Never could explain just what was happening to me
Just one glance on you and I′m aflame
SIGY, it's amazing just how wonderful it is
That the things we like to do are just the same
Everyone′s a winner, SIGY, that's the truth (yes, the truth)
Running test with you is such a thrill
Everyone′s a winner, SIG, that's no lie (yes, no lie)
You never fail to display (satisfy)
Let′s measure again
......and so on
This was just a short excerpt from his numerous ´songs of an addicted´as I may call it.
Probabely other artist´s texts are also worth to been looked at closer again
