i'm a b-movie character...

... in frog people

(mp3) toad frog blues* - ma rainey & georgia jazz band (1924)

(mp3) toad frog blues* - sylvester weaver & walter beasley (1923?)

Tadpole in the river, hatchin’ underneath of a log
Tadpole in the river, hatchin’ underneath of a log
He got too old to be a tadpole, he hatched into a natch’l frog

If a toad frog had wings, he would be flyin’ all around
If a toad frog had wings, he would be flyin’ all around
He would not have his bottom bumpin’ thumpin’ on the ground

Ever time I see a toad frog, Lord, it makes me cry
Ever time I see a toad frog, Lord, it makes me cry
Make me think about my baby, when he (sic) roll her goo-goo eyes


(vídeo) miss froggie - warren smith (sun, 1957)

well I got a gal, shaped just like a frog
yes, I got a gal, she's shaped just like a frog
I found her drinkin' muddy water, sleepin' in a hollow log
well she must have been her mama's only child
yes, she must heve been her mama's only child
well she ought've been a gorilla, man she sure is wild

well it's Saturday night, I sure am feelin' blue
yes, it's Saturday night, I sure am feelin' blue
meet me in the bottom, bring me my blue suede shoes
yeah, meet me in the bottom, bring my blue suede shoes
yeah, meet me in the bottom, bring my blue suede shoes
we're gonna go out tonight, rock away all of our blues



NOTAS:
* as duas toad frog blues são diferentes mas eu percebo muito pouco do que a senhora ma rainey diz e também não encontro a letra.

** a frog princess dos divine comedy também seria adequada a esta confusão entre bichos e pessoas mas não ficava bem numa banda sonora do filme que eu imaginei...
