SUPERCIRCUITMAN

Dirty Love

​

Give My Heart To You

​

​

 

 

 

 

 

This laid-back reggae song of Ross Campbell's 

 

contains a "dirty" lyric that he originally thought

 

would come across as an Edgy Witticism, but which he came to regret

 

as a clumsy case of Bad Judgement.

​

​

​

​

Here are the lyrics to the second verse:

​

​

"You were born in riches & I was born in rags
And up to now we've always been in completely different bags
But here is where the change comes, from now on we'll be thick
Give me just your smile, Girl, & I will give you dick."

​

​

​

It seems naive now, but Ross originally intended

 

"dick" to mean "nothing", as in "Dick All",

 

as in Sweet Dick All, a derivative of Sweet Fuck All,

 

which, as everybody knows, means

 

"Nothing".

​

​

​

​

Unfortunately, many well-meaning persons have taken this intended

 

edgy witticism as a reference to the male member,

 

which suddenly plummets the song into the

 

realm of Gangsta Rap, not really Ross's thing.

​

​

​

​

​

We'll never know how many potential radio spins have

 

been denied Ross's CD  SUPERCIRCUITMAN  because of this

 

Dirty Ill-Considered Word.

​

​

​

​

​

Other than that, the song is quite a Sweet Love Song

 

with a couple of Occult References thrown in.

​

​

​

​

Anyway, that's our story ---is that Dirty enough for you?
