Judge plays "Hard To Get" -- er, that is, he plays the Rick James tune of that name. One of my fave Slick Rick obscurities.

and now the very Rick James-ish "She's Just a Groupie", by Bobby Nunn (who?), replete with Smurf-y backing vocals.

ETA: Turns out Mr Nunn is from Buffalo, just like Slick Rick.

JJ's in the '60s and all's right wit da world, mah brotha!

His Top Of The Hour Non-Cooker: James Brown's spoken-word "King Heroin" -- laughable yet oddly compelling.

I take my addicts and make 'em steal, borrow, beg
Then they search for a vein in the arm or the leg
So be you Italian, Jewish, Black, or Mex
I can make the most virile of men forget their sex...

ah but this is better: Mary Wells, "What's So Easy for Two Is So Hard for One"

I've long found "King Heroin" quite compelling and not laughable.

On some subjects, my sense of humor is admittedly lacking.

"I love you/Even when you don't drive"
