about

RHCP is in here partially because the singing in Business is Business sounds like Anthony Kiedis (definitely a coincidence, this song released five years before the Chilis even got together), and because they dropped their punk roots and went full-on commercial and radio friendly once Under the Bridge became a hit. If you don't know how that's relevant just. like. read the lyrics.

(I don't know much about Foster the People, and Sit Next to Me being included here isn't a commentary - some of these mashups, such as this, were literally just based on some songs being close together in my assorted playlist)

lyrics

[Foster the People - Sit Next to Me]

[Godley and Creme - Business is Business]
Keep it simple
Keep it neat
Aim your hook
At the man in the street
Throw him the bones
But freeze the meat
'Cause the meat goes off
But the beat goes on
Business is business
Business is business
Business is business
And only the tough survive
Radio fallout
In an open prison
Jazz based soul tinged
Watered down rhythm
Too many pretty sleeves
With nothing in 'em
Johnny be good or bad
But not indifferent
Hard core bland out
Stocking filler
Cheap soft sell overkill
Tee shirts given
Everybody's wearing them
See you at the party tonight
M.
O.R.
is good
M.
O.R.
is safe
M.
O.R.
is here
Just give it to 'em
Never think about it!
Just give it to 'em
Never think about it! (continues in background)
Force fed
On half dead melodies
Dragged up from the archives
Playing on your sympathies
I'm being brainwashed
And don't know how to block it
'Cause something in the chorus
Burns a hole in my pocket
And I can't feel the pain
When my finger's in the socket
And only the numb survive
Only the numb survive
Only the numb survive (Business is business)

Everyone was doing it
You weren't at the party last night
Relax, relax
Relax, relax
Relax, relax
Relax, relax
[Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul to Squeeze]
[Anthony Kiedis scatting]
