Frank McDonald and Chris Rae - Night Moves
No, not that ‘Night Moves’. The night moves referred to here are clearly those of the sweaty and repetitive variety, and I don’t mean Jazzercise, people.
Lifted by Nas on Stillmatic, and featured on Vol. 4 of the great comp series ‘Dusty Fingers’, this song is basically aural scotch poured over a crushed velvet cravat with just the lightest lingering aroma of Camembert, and if ever there was a song worthy of buying an ‘86 Pontiac Fiero to drive around reaalll slooow in, this is it. The only way I might improve on this jam is by whispering ‘Yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh’ every 4 bars or so, which I’ve been doing for the last 45 minutes as it plays on loop. I’m getting some looks here in the public library, believe you me. So what’s the story behind this song? I like to imagine it involves safecracking and sexual congress, but beyond that I can’t find much info.
