....Goin' way out on a limb with Isaac Hayes, huh? Well. can't fault you for that. I like the "fatback" horn charts & the slinky guitar. Odd how tame & generic the bass is.
humble?? I'l have another slice of that pie, if you please...
you are too kind
did you ever see/play the old Sega Genesis video game "Toe Jam and Earl?" This music reminds me exactly of that.....* ah, memories......
(good ones)
P.S. I love the title!!
Nice choice, sir.
On a less relative note, "humble" is a very odd sounding word. It's more like a noise more than anything else. I wonder who came up with it.
That would be Mr. Uriah Heep.
That's even odder that Mr. Humble ;)
Uriah Heep is a fictional character created by Charles Dickens in his novel David Copperfield.
The character is notable for his cloying humility, obsequiousness, and general insincerity. His references to David as “Master Copperfield” are repeated so often that they quickly seem insincere. He is the central antagonist of the later part of the book. David first meets him when he is living with Mr. Wickfield and his daughter Agnes. Uriah explains in another part of the book that his ambition and greed are fueled by his lack of ability to express it during his childhood because of his father who constantly encouraged him to be “humble”. This lack of correct psychological and social development perpetuated by his father led Uriah to become the scheming and greedy person he is as an adult. Uriah works as Mr. Wickfield’s law clerk, teaches himself law at night, and by blackmailing Mr. Wickfield, gains control over his business.
He eventually succeeds in having himself made a full partner in the business. His eventual ambition is to marry Agnes and gain control of the Wickfield fortune. Like most of Dickens’s villains, greed is his main motivation. Heep is eventually stymied by Mr. Micawber and Tommy Traddles, with help from David and Agnes. Once his fraud and treachery are unmasked, he persists in hounding Micawber and Copperfield. Towards the end of the novel, he is last seen in Mr. Creakle’s prison where we find that he has returned to his “humble” ways, and puts himself forward as a model prisoner.
Cheers, mate. I only knew about the band.
