BSE (TW) Martha and the Vandellas: "Heat Wave"
Posted by David Schmader on Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 11:39 AM
I posted this thematically appropriate song in today's Morning News on Slog, but hearing it again (seven times in a row) reminded me of its claim on the title Best Song Ever (This Week).
Occurring at 1:45 in the amazing-even-though-it's-just-a-lip-synch video above, some of the greatest lyrics in pop-music history:
Sometimes I stare in space, tears all over my face
I can't explain it, don't understand it
I ain't never felt this way before
Thank you, Holland-Dozier-Holland, and confidential to some beatmaker: Please sample Martha Reeve's "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" (running from 2:06-2:08) and use it in a humongous worldwide hit. I cannot hear it enough.
