Soul Mix 8

Does anyone needs some new soul music?  Sorry for the long absence, cliche, cliche, blahbiddy blah.  You know the deal.  Before we get to official business I would like to highlight the awesomness of the picture to the left.  It's called, "The Find" and it's by Christopher David Ryan a graphic designer with an incredible style.  I have been drooling over his stuff for the last couple of weeks.  Go check out his blog here, he kind of rules.

Ok let's get into it.  One highlight from this mix is a pretty blatant rip off of the, Temptaion's, "My Girl."  This re-worked tune is called, "It's My Baby," and it's sung by Paul Kelly who was on this mix.

Compare the lyrics:

The Temptations- My Girl 

I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.
 

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)  

Paul Kelly- It's My Baby

when the sun don't shine to me it don't mean a thing 

what is it that I have that makes me feel no pain 

I hear my friends whisper when I walk by 

what is it that makes me keep my head up high, 

it's my baby that keeps me satisfied, it's my baby. Talkin bout my baby.

Also just listen to the music.  It's a total swagger jack, but personally I am not that upset.  I rip off people's entire discographies as my own.  I don't even bother to re-interpret the lyrics or the music, so Paul has more effort than me.
