Another classic....

Woke up this morning with this stuck in my head. It alternated with Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You." I'm not sure how this will impact my day.

I've been listening to a lot of early 80's trash these days, as you can maybe tell. Anyway, it struck me that "Promises, Promises" sort of sounds exactly like Sugarhill Gang, a connection I hadn't considered. But then it turns out that this song actually copies from Captain Sensible's "Wot" (new to me, but they have a UK producer in common), and "Wot" borrows mercilessly from Chic's "Good Times", which I'd forgotten was sampled for "Rapper's Delight". So you know what that means: there's still basically three songs in the world, and Nile Rodgers wrote or performed the original version of all three. Stay lucky, I guess.   1
