Title: On The Island / Shortening Bread Post by: thetojo on July 27, 2020, 01:12:36 PM Anyone else noticed the similarities in these songs? I was listening to NPP for the first time in a while yesterday and this struck me again.

Title: Re: On The Island / Shortening Bread Post by: thetojo on July 28, 2020, 02:12:10 PM I'm not really a musical person, but I guess I'm talking about the rhythm of the couplets:
"We've got a little hip shack and late with the rent, we bought a color TV with the money you sent." to me follows the rhythm of: "Mama's little baby loves Shortenin shortening, Mama's little baby loves shortening bread."

Not a good match but maybe you hear something that I do not.
