Old School Friday Music Meme : Songs by Men With Perms
Okay, Marvelous sent me on a scavenger hunt with this week’s theme “Songs by Men with Perms”. I first had to come to terms with “perm”. Does it mean curly or straightened hair, it couldn’t mean gherri curl, right?
He
was the first to come to mind. Then him
. But I wasn’t satisfied so I found him
. I couldn’t use him
. And since my head was getting light from the chemicals, I had to offer the man who represents the anti-perm
.
Enjoy:
Mother Popcorn - James Brown
Rocket 88 - Ike Turner
Mother-in-law - Ernie K. Doe
Redemption Song - Bob Marley
Dee, however, reminded me that Bob wasn’t always adorned with dreads.

I LOVE that you chose less popular songs by a couple of these artists. And you’re introducing me an artist I wasn’t even familiar with (Ernie). That’s when OSF is at it’s best
And I absolutely love the anti-perm concept. Great take and great post.

Wow, you had no trouble at all. James Brown was the first person to come to my mind. I must confess Ike Turner was the furthest. I like the twist of adding Bob Marley, but you can’t go wrong with adding Bob Marley anywhere.
