A Taste of Amy Winehouse

I discovered her a month or two ago, but didn't really care for her until Sarah Silverman made a joke about her at the recent VMAs. I believe she called Amy Winehouse, "a Jew on crack," ...anyway, that made me want to listen to a couple of Winehouse's songs before I should allow Silverman to influence any judgment I may have about her. So after surfing around YouTube and reading a few lyrics, her voice isn't that bad. She's like a... modern Nina Simone and I only compare her to Simone because of how deep sounding their voices are. Will she be as great as Simone? Who knows... but I'm diggin' her so far.

Rehab -- Amy Winehouse

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said no, no, no
Yes I been black but when I come back you'll know, know know
I ain’t got the time
And if my daddy thinks I’m fine
Just tried to make me go to rehab but I won’t go, go, go

I’d rather be at home with Ray
I ain’t got seventy days
Cos there’s nothing, nothing you can teach me
That I can’t learn from Mr Hathaway

I didn’t get a lot in class
But I know it don’t come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said no, no, no
Yes I been black but when I come back you'll know, know know
I ain’t got the time
And if my daddy thinks I’m fine
Just tried to make me go to rehab but I won’t go, go, go

The man said why you think you here?
I said I got no idea
I’m gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
So I always keep a bottle near
He said I just think you’re depressed
This me,Yeah baby, and the rest

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said no, no, no
Yes I been black but when I come back you'll know, know know

I don’t ever want to drink again
I just, ooh I just need a friend
I’m not gonna spend ten weeks
And have everyone think I'm on the mend

And it’s not just my pride
It’s just til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said no, no, no
Yes I been black but when I come back you'll know, know know
I ain’t got the time
And if my daddy thinks I’m fine
Just tried to make me go to rehab but I won’t go, go, go

In my opinion, she sung this song pretty well to a catchy beat. A few other ones that I like are Do Me Good and Fuck Me Pumps. Perhaps I should buy her album? ...Perhaps.
