5.316/365: November song challenge — day 12

A song about putting on makeup or a wig to go out.

There is no question. The answer has been, since 1984, and will always be “The Men All Pause” by Klymaxx. Did I buy this cassette tape when I was 10 years old? Yes, I did. Did mother allow it, seeing that the group’s name was Klymaxx? Yes. Does that explain a lot? Yes.

Klymaxx is pretty much the female Morris Day and the Time.

“I know I was lookin’ good
I had my Kenneth Cole shoes on
My Gianni Versace blue leather suit
My nails were done and my hair was fierce
And I was riding in a Cooper’s limousine
Don’t you want to rideI was at home feelin’ sleazy
So I went down to the speak easy
As soon as my feet hit the door
I had all attention from the dance floor”

And the best part, “Slap me
No, somebody slap me
‘Cause I know I’m lookin’ good
I’m givin’ attitude all over the room
People are starin’ at me
And I just look too good for these people”

The video is pure art.

You’re welcome!
