9/25/2006 - Babysitter

Song: Babysitter
Artist: Betty Wright
Why this song is the current jam: So this one is a request, one more song off of the playlist I posted last time. All of the music I think should be pretty easy to find with the exception of a song or two. This one is perhaps one that is not as well known but it is the jam nonetheless. If you pick up The Best of Betty Wright on Rhino records, you'll find all sorts of goodies that you'll enjoy. This song just has this beautiful smoothed out beat with those backup horns just killin it the whole time. Betty is pissed off here (as she can tend to be) about getting jacked by her babysitter. Listen at the end when she advises the ladies that if they want to keep their man, they should get themselves some "Sizzle pants" and babysit their OWN babies. Sage advice on one level, in that everybody likes sizzle pants. Anyways, this song is crackin and it is great to dance to, so enjoy it. Thanks to Swifty for puttin me on to the Betty Wright compilation.
