Stir It Up
So I was driving to work this morning and while sitting in traffic, someone dedicated “Stir It Up” to someone. As I was in traffic, I listened to all the words. Check this “ish” out, y’all.
Stir It Up Lyrics
Stir it up; little darlin’, stir it up. Come on, baby.
Come on and stir it up: little darlin’, stir it up. O-oh!It’s been a long, long time, yeah!
(stir it, stir it, stir it together)
Since I got you on my mind. (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Oh-oh!
Now you are here (stir it, stir it, stir it together), I said,
it’s ok
To see what we could do, baby, (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Just me and you.Come on and stir it up; …, little darlin’!
Stir it up; come on, baby!
Come on and stir it up, yeah!
Little darlin’, stir it up! O-oh!I’ll push the wood (stir it, stir it, stir it together),
then I blaze ya fire;
Then I’ll satisfy your heart’s desire. (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Said, I stir it every (stir it, stir it, stir it together),
every minute:
All you got to do, baby, (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Is keep it in, and(Stir it up) Oh, little darlin’,
Stir it up; …, baby!
Come on and stir it up, oh-oh-oh!
Little darlin’, stir it up! Wo-oh! Mm, now, now.Quench me when I’m thirsty;
Come on and cool me down, baby, when I’m hot. (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Your recipe, - darlin’ - is so tasty,
When you show and stir your pot. (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)So: stir it up, oh!
Little darlin’, stir it up; wo, now!
Come on and stir it up, oh-ah!

Oh, little darlin’, stir it up. Come on, come on, and
Sir it up, wo-o-a!
Little darlin’, stir it up! , baby!
Come on, come on and stir it up, oh-oh!
Little darlin’, stir it up.- Bob Marley
Yeah… ah some bad lyrics dat still, you know! Yeah mon! 
So, tell me if you agree with me? Bob sounds like he was a cunning linguist, doesn’t he? Check out this piece of lyrics.
Quench me when I’m thirsty;
Come on and cool me down, baby, when I’m hot. (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Your recipe, - darlin’ - is so tasty,
When you show and stir your pot. (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
So, what do you say? Agree with me? It sure sounds like that to me.
Anyway, nothing nuh wrong with that. I wish all these other Jamaican artistes would just drop the pretense and stop “bunning fiyah” on people
who engage in things like that. I am sure most of them are indulging themselves! 
Its been awhile since the last time I gave you a joke in one of my posts. Its because I haven’t received any that I thought were worthy recently… until today, that is! Now
this one is a repeat, but its so nice it can be played twice:
Only a Jamaican…
A young man from Jamaica moves to Miami and goes to a big Department shopping complex looking for a job.
The manager says, ‘Do you have any sales experience?’ The Jamaican young man says. ‘Bossie, mi was a salesman back home on di streets a Kingston .’
Well, the boss liked him so he gave him the job. ‘You start tomorrow. I’ll come down after we close and see how you did.’
His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down. ‘How many sales did you make today?’
The Jamaican young man says, ‘Man, Just ONE sale’ The boss says, ‘Just one? No! No! No! You see here our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. If you want to keep this job,
you’d better be doing better than just one sale’. ‘By the way, how much was the sale for?’
The Jamaican young man says, ‘$301, 237.64′
Boss says, ‘$301, 237.64? What the hell did you sell?’
The Jamaican young man: ‘Bossie, Fus mi sell him one little fish hook. Den mi sell him a medium size fish hook. Den mi sell him 1 big fish hook. Den mi sell him one fishing rod an
sum fishing tings. Den mi ask him whey him a go fishing an him seh dung de coast, so mi tell him sey him a go want one boat, so we go dung a de boating department an mi sell him
one twin engine Chris Craft.
Den him seh him nuh think him Audi Car caan pull it, so mi tek him dung a wi automotive department an mi sell him di 4X4 Blazer. Then mi ask him whey him a go sleep, an since him
neva have nuh weh, mi tek him dung a di camping department an sell him one a di new Igloo 6 sleeper camper tents. Then the man seh, while we deh pon it, mi might as well fling in
about a $100.00 wut a groceries and two cases of beer.’The boss said, ‘You’re not serious? A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a Boat, a 4×4 truck and a tent?’.
The Jamaican young man says, ‘No sah, him com in yah fi buy one box of Tampons fi him wife, and mi seh: Well, since yuh weekend mash up, yuh might jus as well go ketch fish.’
Some flowers for the ladies…
Anyways, me ago run now, you hear. Oh yes! It is Valentines Day, isn’t it?! Happy Valentines Day, man! Hey, heres hoping things have been running right for you today, maybe even a little “Stirring up” can gwaan fi you. Take it easy nuh.

Stir it up is a classic Marley. Yes, indeed , Bob was a cunning linguist ! RESPECT!!
Bwoy, de higgler is a royal bgeforge salesman!! RESPECT!!

good though though
jdid’s last blog post..What chu talkin bout Willis
I wonder if Bob actually wrote the lyrics?
MB — I love that song for the very reason you suggest. Actually, a lot of people don’t know that it was meant to be a love song. BM was a sweet talker, a true lyrics man, and you can hear it in his music. The only men I pay attention to are the ones who KNOW how fi lyrics — the res’ o dem a chat pure foolishness…what’s the best lyrics you ever give somebody?

@ Cranky : Personally, I think plenty of them are liars. They are out there doing it. I know plenty who say they do.
@ Mysteryman: I don’t know. I was of the impression that Bob wrote or had a big hand in the writing of all his songs. Can’t know for sure though.
@ Longbench: I can’t remember that, but thats because I don’t really use “lyrics”. I just put my case on a case by case basis.
Nothing at all wrong with cunny;-)

MB — one has to know how to be versatile with lyrics; you can’t use them the same way all the time with every woman. That’s not lyrics; that’s recitation. So, what this means is that you sound like a real lyrics man!
On this topic of men and oral sex, to me, there are three truths about men and pumpum:
1. The only people who ever have a sense of how men feel about pumpum and how they are really interacting with pumpum are the ones involved in the moment.
2. The only people who can ever know for sure what men are doing are men themselves.
3. Any other claims are based on gossip, jealousy, hearsay, ignorance, fear and prejudice.
My view is if you are really into someone, there’s little that one would not be willing to do. If its safe and consensual, why not? Once you bring hearsay, friends and the whole society into your sex life, the fun is pretty much over, and its now all about performance. Boring.
