Jimmy : I'm
sorry, baby, but when Jimmy's involved, the song got to
have some soul! Damn! Lord have mercy! Got to have soul!
Curtis : Soul, gospel, R&B, jazz, blues, everything else
the man has grabbed from us. Listen, there's got to be a
better way for us to get our music to a broader
audience, only this time with our artists and our money.
Jimmy : Marty, this man is
handing me a line of crap.
Marty : Yeah, I know, baby.
C. C. : Got me a Cadillac Cadillac, Cadillac
Got me a Cadillac car
Got me a Cadillac Cadillac, Cadillac
Look at me, mister, I'm a star
Marty : I know what you cats are trying to do, and you
can forget it. James Early ain't no street-corner punk looking for his
first date. He's an established artist
with a recording contract.
Curtis : On a shitty local label that can't get him to
the pop charts.
Marty : We can't do nothing about that.
Curtis : All I'm asking is one record, man. One song
with a simple hook.
"Look at me in my pretty car, makes me feel like a movie
star." You know where all
the hits happen these days? In cars,
man. Songs that make you feel good while you're driving
your automobile.
Marty : Yeah? Jimmy's fans like taking the bus. Let's hit
it, Jimmy.
Jimmy : Hey, what do you think about using that bridge
there, baby?
Movin' out
Movin' up
Movin' on
Curtis : Sounds a little tick-tock, boys. Let's
stay in the pocket.
Man : Going to work! Shut it down! Recording, Cadillac
Car. Take nine.
Jimmy : I got me a Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac
I got me a Cadillac car
Got me a Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac
Look at me, mister, I'm a star
I'm on the move
I'm gettin' on
I'm breakin' out
And it won't take long
Behind the wheel
Got a song
Pedal's down
And I'm gone
Curtis : We've got that coming up in the next hour, but
for now, let me get a hold
of your ear. It's a different sound for
the Thunder Man. And I think you're gonna enjoy it.
