If I was a blade I'd shave you smooth

Artist- Grace Potter and the Nocturnals
Song of the day- Paris (Oooh la la)

Have you ever heard a song that you decided you absolutely 100% hated, and then later realized crap never mind it won me over? This happens to me very reluctantly with Katy Perry, but I mostly blame pop culture for convincing me to to like it. Kind of in the same way it convinces me to like vests again, plastic huge glasses, and Natalie Portman movies. Anyway the first time I saw today's video I rolled my eyes and said she was trying too hard. Till I educated myself in some deep Grace Potter soul and realized there's some pipes, talent, a past history of playing concerts in t-shirts and years of funk to back it up. Granted attempts at studio fame might cause one to sleeze it up and make incorrect french translations but I am all for a revival in girl funk-ness. And it may or may not be also caused from my desire to wear flapper dresses in public unironically. Still there's something about the funky guitar riff and wailing vocals that makes everything just more attractive in general. And I usually hate guitar riffs and funk. But sometimes you need a little extra strut in your step, and if you do today, this one's for you.


And if you disagree check out the hotel room acoustic, rock n roll and what I think is the way more awesomer version!



ou got me down on the floor
So what'd you bring me down here for?
You got me down on the floor
So what'd you bring me down here for?

If I a man I'd make my move
If I was a blade I'd shave you smooth
If I a judge I'd break the law
And if I was from Paris
If I was from Paris
I would say
Oooh la la la la lala

You got me up on your swing
So when you gonna shake that thing?
