Solomon Burke - Stupidity Lyrics






Hey (hey)
Everybody (everybody)

All around the world
Every boy and girl
Take a lesson from me
Do the stupidity

Whoa, oh

My mama
She says it's silly
My papa
Says "you look like a fool"

Baby
I don't mind criticism
Because we're doin' it
Every day in school

Come along with me
See how much
Fun it can be
While watchin' me

Oh, baby do the stupidity

Oh, my mama
She says it's silly
My papa
Says I look like a fool

But
I don't mind the criticism
Because we do it
Every day in school

Come along with me
See how much fun it can be
Watch it on TV

(No, baby) that's a stupidity

You make me feel so good...
Hahaha... like I know I should...
Baaaaby...

Solomon Burke Stupidity Comments
  1. P.... H....

    For Dr Feelgood in October 1976 it was their N°1 live LP!

  2. J.... L....

    I first heard this at a beer bar north of Milw and the band played it so well...but when I heard Solomon do it, there was no equal. The horn section is great and sounds huge. "Cry to Me" is another Burke classic...heard in "Dirty Dancing"

  3. B.... ....

    Incredibly played last hr at Parkers in Manchester in early 90s

  4. D.... O....

    The Detroit Cobras cover brought me here. Both versions amazing.

  5. M.... T....

    Kingsize taylor had a number one in germany aroung 1963 with this tune.

  6. T.... ....

    A lost gem..."I don't mind criticism, 'cause they do it every day in school" You hear a line like that, you never forget it!

  7. B.... ....

    Dr Feelgood did a version too ..

    B.... ....

    Turned out to be their N° 1 'Live' album!

  8. D.... C....

    The Liverpool band The Undertakers which lined up with a sax used to do this with I think a longer instrumental break. Change the words a bit and it's not a dance but a commentary on the state of the world "All around the world - see the stupidity". Great song, RIP Solomon

  9. e.... b....

    Absolute mustda KTFard kid

  10. A.... G....

    R.I.P. what a great singer!

  11. a.... ....

    Rest in peace, I love you

  12. r.... ....

    Thanks so much.
    I had this 45 back in the mid 1960s, along with others by him.

    This was one of my favorites and I hadn't heard it since then.

    Put an ear to ear grin on my face.

  13. s.... ....
