"Chan Chan" is a 1984 son composition by Cuban trovador Compay Segundo. It was first recorded in 1985 by Compay Segundo's own group. In 1987, he approached Eliades Ochoa, who agreed to record a version with the Cuarteto Patria. However, EGREM did not release these recordings until the second half of the 1990s. In November 1995, Compay recorded a new version in Madrid for his Antología, released on CD the following year. In March 1996, Compay Segundo, Eliades Ochoa and other veteran Cuban musicians recorded a new version of the song as part of the Buena Vista Social Club project. The song became the opening track of their eponymous album and the group's signature song, thereby achieving international fame.

Lyrically, the song is set on the beach and revolves around two central characters called Juanica and Chan Chan. The most complete explanation says: 'The song relates the story of a man and a woman (Chan Chan and Juanica) who are building a house, and go to the beach to get some sand. Chan Chan collects the sand and puts it on the jibe (a sieve for sand). Juanica shakes it, and to do so she shakes herself, making Chan Chan embarrassed. [...] The origin of this tale is a farmer song learnt by Compay Segundo when he was twelve years old.

The most recognizable part of the song is its chorus, whose lyrics are as follows:

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcané
Llego a Cueto voy para Mayarí

From Alto Cedro I go to Marcané
I get to Cueto, then head for Mayarí

SURPRISE

This is not a song about Marilyn Monroe.
It’s about a fiery relationship they came to an end between two people in which she screams in a melt down  and quotes a famous line from Marilyn Monroe.

If you can’t handle me at my worst then you don’t deserve me at my best !

Marilyn’s Quote ~ Conscience of Kings with Jeff Roberts

On the Whole This Was a Good Day

Kinda indie rock track with hints of femme fatale in the lyrics

The Danger

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need 

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need from me

Baby wants the tv
Baby wants some drink
Baby wants some goldfish crackers
Baby wants a brand new diamond ring

Baby wants to watch me
Wants to watch me move
Baby wants to watch me
Watch me do everything for you

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need 

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need from me

Baby wants a new Jean jacket 
Baby wants a new toy
Baby wants some new sunglasses
Baby wants a crate of kinderjoy

Baby wants to watch me
Wants to watch me move
Baby wants to watch me
Watch me do everything for you

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need 

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need from me

Stephen Malson's Album

Sippy Cup

Scratchy Scratch Dub

January’s fool steps out into the limelight.
The first day of the year is always filled with fear
and hope and love and good intention.

February’s fool wraps up against the cold
wind blows a hole where a heart used to be
and now doesn’t even get a mention.

March fools, April fools we are
waiting out the winter.

May’s fool is turning over new leaves
hoping spring will bring some clear days,
show new ways to be together.

June fools, July fools we are
regretting and forgetting to surrender.

And while the seasons change we all just stay the same.
Trying to take control again.
Worried fools, worried fools we are,
worried fools we are - time takes care of everything.

August’s fool is holding on to sunshine,
ignoring all the straight lines
between us and the future.

September’s fool is rushing headlong
into something that just feels wrong
and is nothing more than rumour.

October fools, November fools we are
and December’s too.

And while the seasons change we all just stay the same,
holding on in vain again.
Worried fools, worried fools we are,
worried fools we are - time takes care of everything.
Take care of everything.

A Gathering of Sorts

Worried Fools

Un sorcier vaudou me l’a dit,
Je suis maudit, sur plusieurs générations, je suis banni, pour mes contrefaçons,
Le sort s’acharne, en quoi veux tu que je me réincarne,
Je suis maudit, quel est le sens de ma vie.
Abou, grand Marabout, d’Afrique, a la recette, magique
Transmise par ses aînés, pour retrouver fortune, santé, carte bleu, acceptée
A base de philtres et d’esprits, guérison garantie.

Je suis maudit, sur plusieurs générations, je suis banni, pour mes contrefaçons,
Le sort s’acharne, en quoi veux tu que je me réincarne,
Je suis maudit, quel est le sens de ma vie

Malou, prêtresse Vaudou, haïtienne, a la recette, magique
Datant d’un million d’années, pour retrouver virilité, pay pal, acceptée
A coup d’incantations et de transes, guérison garantie sans souffrance.

Je suis maudit, sur plusieurs générations, je suis banni, pour mes contrefaçons,
Le sort s’acharne, en quoi veux tu que je me réincarne,
Je suis maudit, quel est le sens de ma vie

Igor, grand Chamane, des plaines sibériennes, a la recette, magique
Soufflée par le vent sur la steppe, pour le retour de l’être, aimé
A base de fumée, de tambours, guérison garantie sans amour.

COCAINE 

Another drive-by shooting in the city
another victim - yeah such a pity
the cops have got their hands full
some say it’s just a bunch of bull
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
I’m sayin’ CO-CO-CO-CAINE

Brothers putting their lives 
on the line
so you can get high 
‘n have a good time
posses fighting 
for territory
flying their colors 
collecting MONEY
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE 
I’m sayin’ CO-CO-CO-CAINE
C O-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
Yeah it’s such - such a shame.

Some people preach 
“Just Say No”
others keep dreaming ‘bout 
mountains of snow
pushers fronting - dealing 24/7
so you can get high and feel
your in heaven  - your in heaven 
your in heaven - your in heaven
CO-CO-CO--CAINE  - I’m sayin’ COCAINE  Bro.

You spend your time getting stoned
knowing your not alone
feeling good - your in the zone
it’s a miracle your not insane.
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE 
I’m sayin’ CO-CO-CO-CAINE
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
Yeah it’s such - such a shame.

Spending your money
on ecstasy
can’t set yourself free
that’s your destiny 
like a dope on a rope
only way you can cope
you visit the devils’ den
so you can get high ‘n feel
your in heaven - your in heaven 
your in heaven
CO-C0-CO-CAINE
CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO
CO-CO-CO-CO-CO-CAINE.

Cocaine  (Original Song)

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with a strong keyboard base.  Looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. The songs are mostly about the human condition.

I am always looking for a guitar player that wants to collaborate. Would be fun to find a real drummer also.

A Gat is a cat in Catalan - it all makes sense if you’re me.

To all of you likers and reposters that don't listen - what's the point?
