1. kick
Cause this is a damned good song and a damned good video by artist is part of popular music history despite that fact that fame has overlooked him.

Tony Powers, ya'll. Used to be part of the Brill Building hit factory - quit it all to go his own way. These days he's only remembered for playing Jimmy Two-Times in Goodfellas. Well, screw that. This video and this song are teh bomb diggity.

4. Yay!
Love!

Here's the lyrics:

Well, I wuz in this
Police station
Bein' booked for
Garlic breath
In the corner was a cripple
They wuz kickin' him to death
From a cell somewhere I heard
This woman scream
"You're hurtin' me""
On the wall there wuz
This poster
"Holy name society"...
Oh --
I wuz in this courtroom
'Cause I had a fight
With my own wife
Law 'n order wuz so thick
You could cut it with a knife
While this landlord
Made a pay-off so they'd
De-control his slum
Hizzoner told
Some Puerto Rican
"In my court you don't
Chew gum"
Oh --
Don't nobody move
This is a heist
Don't nobody move
This is a heist
Well, she wuz standin' on the
Corner
When this dude asked her
The price
She said “me?" he said
"Take it --
Buy yourself somethin' nice"
Soon as he got off
'N while she still wuz
Squattin' on her heels
He produced
A pair of handcuffs
An' a very shiny shield.
Oh --
They wuz towin' me away
Cuz I don't have
Diplomat plates
While this diplomat I know
Is smugglin' "H"
Into the states
I said "lemmee have
The ticket 'n the car –
Save me a trip"
So they hauled me in
For giving them
Some Noo Yawk lefty lip
Oh –
Don't nobody move
This is a heist
Don't nobody move
This is a heist
I wuz underneath my dresser
Just in case of sneak attack
When this television
Quiz show called
To ask where I wuz at
I said "I'm underneath
My dresser --
An' they're
Poundin' on my door"
The audience went wild
'N the emcee said
"Would you like
To try for more?"
Yes--
Yes I would!
Well, I wuz drivin' down
The highway
An' I did not have the toll
So they gave me
The electric chair
(Cured my cold)
Well, I woke up feelin'
Hungry an' I asked for
Somethin' hot
So they gave me
The electric chair again
'N then they had me shot...
Oh --


Bonus: The performers in the video were Powers' acting buddies: Treat Williams, John Goodman, Marcia Strassman, Peter Reigert and Stephen Collins
