THE HIP DROP BY THE EXPLOSIONS
by: eric
For the record, nowhere in this review exists hyperbole.
This song is so fucking good it gave god and satan a boner at the same time. Even the Buddah, free from all desire mind you, got a boner when he heard it.
It’s not a definitive sexual boner, although that can be a aspect of it, but a broader boner*, one that taps desire then specific hungers and urges. It fulfills every day concepts of “want” we have and opens our eyes to a deeper awareness of what it means to live in a world of no explanation and the considerable energy it takes to be cool with it. Thus the boner.
I can’t claim to have any sort of relationship with spirituality besides my feeling of “place” in good-timey environments and/or connections with people. I can’t claim that spirituality doesn’t exist as I have looked into a dogs eye many times. But I feel no such sentiment in my own deep, brown eyes. And yet The Hip Drop gives me a boner every time.
Little is known about The Explosions which I find adds a rather charming mystique and certainly supports my spirituality kick. I came across the track on the amazing compilation “Eddie Bo’s Funky Funky New Olreans” (download it, for the love of god or dog) which contains the longer version (The Hip Drop Parts 1 and 2). You will thank me. If you don’t like it I really don’t see what else we have to talk about.
RATING:
ALL THE BONERS.
* I don’t necessarily mean boner as in an erect penis. I mean a deeper, more Jungian boner. Kinda like a third eye but in this case a second (or first) dick. But not a dick, more like a flower or stalk of corn. I’m still working on the rhetoric.
