On That Note: Ain't It Good to Know...

Lyrics example

“… We can leave your friends behind / ‘Cause your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance / Well they’re no friends of mine.”

 

[cyclones500]

"Pals" as part of one word, instead of separate, but I’m using it

Ok, this one gets a little weird.
I found it because it's sampled in an MF Doom song. But it's a cool groove so I added it to my library.

It's a trip. Drugs were consumed, of that I am sure.

George Duke - For Love (I Come Your Friend) (1975)


And then there's the cover/reaimagining by contemporary funk bassist Thundercat which is also funky as HELL


And if anyone's curious about the MF Doom song, here's that one. RIP MF Doom.

Manchester Orchestra - I've Got Friends

I think was the first Manchester Orchestra song I heard. A great one.

Sonic Youth - My Friend Goo

A complete fever dream of a song (and video), but somewhat typical of some Sonic Youth songs

PM Dawn - Reality (Used to be a Friend of Mine)

This one comes from the one and only Encino Man soundtrack! HA!



It's a damn good song though and I remember really liking it, even before I was able to find it.

So in this instance Buddy doesn't mean friend, but I'm using it anyway because damn it's a good song.

De La Soul - Buddy



And on the exact same note, the following references the same use of "buddy"

"Back in '89, I simply slid into place
Buddy, buddy, buddy all up in your face
A lot of kids was busting rhymes but they had no taste
Some said Quest was wack, but now is that the case"

A Tribe Called Quest - Award Tour

A chance to link one of the most epic videos on You Tube. Green shirt guy has taken on a story of his own.

"my tweaker friends have got me to the point of no return"



Seriously - "play that most recent one you wrote" and he rips that song off is just ... only Billy Strings
