Come On And Sting Me (Honey) !!!

[remicks]

*****

A prevailing theme in the clubs .... the buzzing of bees (not so much the chirping of birds) and the sweetness of the nectar they produce .

So come on honey , roll call!
Name those sweet tunes that were all the buzz!


- Maybe this one started it all??

Supremes HONEY BEE

This one ushered in the disco era (recorded before NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE):

Gloria Gaynor HONEY BEE

as did this one ,also from 1974:

Barry White HONEY PLEASE

Good morning Remicks!!!

You know I've always got to reach for outer limits of what is going on. Please allow me to include this totally overlooked gem of a tune......it's got bees in it!! Both cuts are great. On Horn records Los Angeles we have Psychic. Song title is Stinger..flip side is Take a chance.

throw into the buzzing mix .......Bonnie Pointer's disco-tized Motown-remake "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" ....and speaking of Motown .....don't forget Martha & the Vandellas' last big hit "Honey Chile" (1967).

[Disco Funk]

Here's another song with Honey Bee in the title.



And here's one that was sampled a bit in the 80s



Here are some honey or bee references. Not in necessarily in the name of the song, but some of the lyrics or the artists names

These ladies became the Ritchie Family



And you can't omit this crazy Patrick Adams/Greg Carmichael production

I'm at work so can't check but didn't Dr Buzzard's Original Savannah Band do a track called something like 'There's Lemon In The Honey, Honey'?

Also, what about Carol Jiani's 'Such a Joy Honey'?

[markydefad]

What about this?

Ray Martinez: "LADY OF THE NIGHT/HEY HONEY, COME GIVE ME MONEY"

[SandraDee]

OMG, another wide-eyed smiley (Thanx remmy): Blanche & needledick, it's SO odd 'cos I've played both 'Beeline' by Miquel Brown & 'Lady Of The Night' by Ray Martinez randomly during the past week! Do you think we're experiencing that similar thing that happens when women who spend all their time with each other get their periods synchronized?! It's disco synchronicity!!!

[remicks]

How about the Bee Gees............

What was up with that???? Did you really change it to read that way????

What was up with that???? Did you really change it to read that way????

OMG how silly I feel! You know how i like to give people 'alternative' names (don't ask me why, it's just my thang!) & I couldn't think of any that were similar to yours apart from 'needledick the bug ******' which I think was a quote used by Bette Midler in some 80s movie & which just kept coming into my head. Anyway, I decided not to use it as it may cause offence to you & others but i forgot to change it back as I'd had a little too much alcohol that particular night! Hope I haven't offended you nf?
