Naughty By Nature samples a motown classic (ABC by the Jackson 5).</p> <p><span>ABC</span> is also used in a dance sequence in the movie "Clerks 2".</p> <embed src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-8467878430704110977&#38;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:300px; height:245px;"> </embed> Sun, 16 Dec 2007 20:13:35 GMT http://mog.com/ngreen/blog/131320 ngreen http://mog.com/ngreen/blog/131198 <p>My daily commute consist of 15 minutes of the best 97.1 has to offer in Atlanta. They usually rotate in new (old) songs and then play them for a while.</p> <p>A recent play was a Three Dogs Night song that I couldn't credit to them. I know Joy to the World and even saw One Dog Night (Danny Hutton) in concert when I was little.</p> <p>When Mama Told Me (Not To Come) the high pitched energetic song brought out my falsetto car singing catastrophe (I'm a bass). Anyways, I've learn to appreciate the song and have lowered my voice to give more credit to a great American rock band.</p> Sun, 16 Dec 2007 02:24:53 GMT http://mog.com/ngreen/blog/131198 ngreen
