Armand Van Helden

I’ve got Armand Van Helden’s reworking of Kudu’s ‘Playing House’ on repeat in my head. It’s been stuck in there ever since i heard his new album, GhettoBlaster. He added a little bit of echo, a whole lotta bass, and a bit of AVH flair to make the original sound so tame in comparison, like a little housecat. I know Travis mentioned this song on his last AVH post a few months ago, but failed to indulge your musical sweet-tooth with a taste….

Make sure you listen to the lyrics…what a naughty little girl-next-door.

    Paris Man: Not everyone in the U.S. is as ignorant as the brilliant fellow who suggested that you use a dictionary to make out some unintelligible lyrics…

    My understanding is not that you don't understand what the words mean, but that you just can't make them out, yes? As someone who speaks more than one language, you are certainly entitled not to catch every nuance of a foreign language.

    And even though I'm completely American, there's one line I can't make out… it's in the 3rd verse, right before "too young to have a spouse."

    LYRICS:

    I have a special friend

    He lives across the street

    sometimes he'll call me up

    when he wants to play with me

    we play all kinds of games

    we both play hide and seek

    sometimes he'll find me fast

    sometimes it takes him weeks

    ???

    too young to have a spouse

    I like to try new things

    I just playing house

    although it's make believe

    I know what love's about

    don't need no diamond ring

    I just like playing house

    I'm not a little girl

    He's not a little boy

    He comes into my world

    And we share all our toys

    he'll look me in the eyes

    and kiss me on the mouth

    we all have separate lives

    we're only playing house

    although it's make believe

    I know what love's about

    don't need no diamond ring

    I just like playing house

    and it feels like he loves me

    when he's below or above me

    and if he ever slips away

    I know he's thinking of me

    and it feels like I love him

    when I'm below or above him

    And if he ever slips away

    I'll have sweet memories of him

    don't need no diamond ring

    I just like playing house

    justine, the line you're missing is:

    a bit too old for games

  • nITO

    GREAT SONG!

    I WONDER WHERE SHE LIVES… I LIKE PLAYING GAMES TOO!

    CAN I PLAY WITH YOU!

  • frozen

    Justin, thank you so much, I was looking for the lyrics of this song at the Internet, bub I didn't find that. I don't hear few words and lines, that's why I looked for the lyrics.
