Shaft!
Isaac Hayes
Who’s the black private dick
That’s a sex machine to all the chicks?
(Shaft!)
You’re damn right
Who is the man
That would risk his neck for his brother man?
(Shaft!)
Can ya dig it?
Who’s the cat that won’t cop out
When there’s danger all about
(Shaft!)
Right on
You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother–
(Shut your mouth)
But I’m talkin’ about Shaft
(Then we can dig it)
He’s a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
(John Shaft)

Now wasn’t that fun?
‘Cuz I’m the cat kitten who digs the lyrics. I won’t be around today (gambling. with my mother. being a good girl. really.), so this will give you something to groove on.
Can ya dig it?
xo, Angela
(thanks, PQS. you can sing to me anytime)
What seems like such a cartoon today was soooo cool in the day. Shaft, the meaning of which today is only negative, was THE man, just like Angela is THE woman. Thanks for the blast from the past, cutie.
Science Nerd is absolutely right; this was really cutting edge “in the day.” (He’s also right about Angela, of course!)
Angela, you have the most eclectic blog in the entire blogosphere. Who would have thought a “kid” like you would be sharing such ol black magic.
I would expect nothing less from your endless delicious eccentricity…
“He’s a complicated man but no one understands him but his woman.” Sounds like most of us – Was he a client of yours, Angela?
