'Ubangi Stomp'' is a rockabilly song, originally recorded by Warren Smith in 1956 and (according to legend), it was the first song that Alice ever bought

The title comes from a superstition that the African Ibo people had concerning babies. If a baby was still born or deformed at birth, they are mutilated with farm tools or by stomping on them to deter the bad spirits which dwelled in their children from returning in their next child.

07/10 - Ubangi Stomp (Chas Underwood)



"Well, I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain
I rocked in Memphis it was all the same
'Till I rocked to Africa, I rolled off the ship
I seem them natives doin' an odd looking skip
I parted the weeds and I looked over the swamp
And I seen them cats doin' the Ubangi Stomp

Ubangi Stomp is a rock and roll
It beats anything that's ever been told
Ubangi Stomp, Ubangi style
When it kicks it drives a cool cat wild

Well I looked up the chief, he invited me in
He said, "A heap big jam session's 'bout to begin."
I grabbed a guitar and I picked up the beat
That crazy thing sent shivers to my feet
I rocked and I rolled and I skipped with a smile
I did the Ubangi Stomp with a Ubangi style
(C'mon etc)

Well, we rocked all night and part of the day
Had a good, rock-in' time with the chief's daughter Mae
I'm makin' good time and I'm gettin' in the know
when the captain said, "Son, we've gotta go."
I said, "That's all right, You go right ahead
I'm gonna Ubangi Stomp 'till I roll over dead."

Ubangi Stomp is a rock and roll
It beats anything that's ever been told
Ubangi Stomp, Ubangi style
When it kicks it drives a cool cat wild

Oh yeah...
Ubangi Stomp, thank you"

'(No More) Love At Your Convenience' is not a song about cottaging! Instead, it is a semi-Disco song. It's been said that it would not be out of place on an ABBA album from the same period. Me - I cannot possibly comment on this!

It's entertaining I suppose

"Your childish game is over now
Lost your power over night some how
Better see it ain't gonna be like it used to be
No more love at your convenience
No more love at your command
No more love at your convenience
Lots of time late at night, I really needed you

I'm telling you tonight's the night
Close your mouth, turn off the light
Pull me babe, pull me down closer on you
No more love at your convenience
No more love at your command
No more love at your convenience
Lots of time late at night, I really needed you
(I really needed you)
(I really needed you)

No more love at your convenience
No more love at your command
No more love at your convenience

Quit your tears and dry your eyes
You know I hate to see you cry
Don't you see things gotta be what they got to

No more love at your convenience
No more love at your convenience
No more love at your convenience
No more love at your convenience
No more love at your convenience
No more love at your convenience
(we may not be the sweatest but we always choose a winn-er)"
