03 Jul 02 - 11:36 PM (#741927) Subject: Lyr Add: FILTHY MCNASTY (Horace Silver, Ira Gitler From: Jim Dixon Google gives "about 2,440" hits on "Filthy McNasty." Whatever its origin, it is a term that has entered our folklore in many quarters. The jazz tune "Filthy McNasty" was written by Horace Silver and recorded as an instrumental by The Horace Silver Quintet in 1961 on the album "Doin' the Thing (At the Village Gate)." That album is still available as Blue Note CD #84076, 1990. Lyrics were written by Ira (?) Gitler, and vocal versions were recorded by Eddie Jefferson, Bobbi Sherron, and Dee Dee Bridgewater. I was able to transcribe the following lyrics from a sound sample of Eddie Jefferson's version at CDNOW.
He hangs out in bars.
He don't own a suit, |

11 Jan 11 - 04:38 PM (#3072401) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Filthy McNasty From: Mike in Brunswick I know this doesn't respond to the question, but FWIW, Filthy McNasty was the name of a character in the W.C. Fields movie, The Bank Dick. According to the Wikipedia article on Fields: " 'Filthy McNasty,' the villainous bank robber from The Bank Dick, inspired jazz pianist Horace Silver's composition of the same name, introduced on his 1961 Blue Note LP Doin' the Thing: The Horace Silver Quintet at the Village Gate. According to Silver (quoted by Herb Wong in the liner notes for The Best of Horace Silver) the classic Fields film was playing on television while Silver was inspired to compose the tune." Mike |

15 Jan 11 - 09:58 PM (#3075459) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Filthy McNasty From: Jim Dixon YouTube has: The Horace Silver Quintet performing the original jazz instrumental version of FILTHY McNASTY. Dee Dee Bridgewater performing a vocal version. Several more versions by lesser-known performers. Several are quite good musically, but I never found a vocal version that was clear enough to transcribe without great difficulty. |

He's got a few scars. He's higher than Mars, And mixed up in cars. His wig isn't neat Of course he's a cheat. He drinks sneaky pete, And don't eat no meat, And all the time you hear the women really callin' his name: Filthy McNasty. He don't own a suit, A nero or zoot. He never have loot Except in his boot. His body is lean. His feet aren't clean. His mouth is real mean When he's on the scene, But all the time you hear the women really yellin' his name: Filthy McNasty. -- Well the crazy chicks love McNasty I never ever could understand But he's the center of every party He never gives another guy a chance Before you know it he dun got to shift and take the pain away from people I don't call him hip He's sort of a flip My leg is a crip His mind's on a trip He don't have a pad He didn't know his dad His comfort is bad So don't make him mad But all the time you hear the women really hollerin' his name: Filthy McNasty He first got his kicks By putting on hicks To square kinda chicks Was wise to his licks But those days are gone He carries that on But his line of con You steal a Don Juan But all the time you hear the women really screamin' his name: Filthy McNasty He's gained lots of fame McNasty's his name |

12 Mar 11 - 03:48 PM (#3112535) Subject: Lyr Add: FILTHY McNASTY (from Eddie Jefferson) From: Jim Dixon Thanks, D-Rock, for giving us a good start. I listened to the same video, and I hear a few words differently: FILTHY McNASTY By Horace Silver As sung by Eddie Jefferson He hangs out in bars. He's got a few scars. He's higher than Mars, And makes love in cars. His wig isn't neat. Of course he's a cheat. He drinks sneaky pete, And don't eat no meat, And all the time you hear the women really callin' his name: Filthy McNasty. He don't own a suit, A nero or zoot. He never have loot Except in his boot. His body is lean. His feet aren't clean. His mouth is real mean When he's on the scene, But all the time you hear the women really yellin' his name: Filthy McNasty. [Instrumental break] Why all the crazy chicks love McNasty I never ever could understand, But he's the center of every party. He never gives another guy a chance. Before you know it he done copped your chick and took her clean away from you, boy. I don't call him hip. He's sort of a flip. One leg is a crip. His mind's on a trip. He don't have a pad. He didn't know his dad. His temper is bad, So don't get him mad, But all the time you hear the women really hollerin' his name: Filthy McNasty. He once got his kicks By puttin' on hicks A square kinda chicks Was wise to his licks. But those days are gone. He carries right on With his line of con. He's still a Don Juan, And all the time you hear the women really screamin' his name: Filthy McNasty. He's gained lots of fame. McNasty's his name. |
