POLJUNK

I bet your mama was a tent show queen
Maybe this belongs on our parent site Glorious Noise, but it turns out Tony Snow has a band! Dig this:

What do you get when you combine four lawyers, a realtor, a business executive, and a radio and TV political commentator, some oldies, a dance-crazy crowd, and a whole lot of fun? We're not sure, but we know it...
....Beats Workin'

Describing themselves as a "a 60's, 70's, 80's, and occasionally 90's music playin' rock n' roll band in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland," Beats Working has photos featuring Snow and a songlist that includes the Stones' "Brown Sugar," a song so raunchy the Chinese government banned it from the band's recent show. Can you imagine the President's new Press Secretary singing this:

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields,
Sold in a market down in New Orleans.
Scarred old slaver know he's doin' alright.
Hear him whip the women just around midnight.
Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good
(a-ha) brown sugar, just like a young girl should
A-huh.

Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot,
Lady of the house wond'rin where it's gonna stop.
House boy knows that he's doin' alright.
You should a heard him just around midnight.
Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good
(a-ha) brown sugar, just like a black girl should
A-huh.

I bet your mama was a tent show queen, and all her boy
Friends were sweet sixteen.
I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like,
You should have heard me just around midnight.

Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good
(a-ha) brown sugar, just like a young girl should.

I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said
Oh just like a, just like a black girl should.

I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said
Oh just like, just like a black girl should.
