Radio 51, side B, track 3: “No More Lies” by Michel’le

Oh, Michel’le, this blog has been a place of amazing personal discoveries.  For example, if you would have told me, right up until this moment, that I became a fan of Dr. Dre and his producing prowess when I was the tender age of 14, living amongst the cows and the corn, I would have told you that that was crazy.  I would have told you that as progressive as my radio station was, something by Dr. Dre wasn’t going to make it onto the airwaves in my neck of the woods.  But guess what, Michel’le?  In between the songs that were featured on the Top 90 of the ’80s, here came this song, which I still remember well, and who’s that telling his baby he wasn’t going to be telling anymore lies?  The good doctor himself.  No shit, Michel’le.  I was listening to Dre and I didn’t even know I was listening to Dre.  I’m going to say that I just retroactively became slightly cooler.

Of course even though I remembered this song as soon as it started playing, because there was no DJ on this one, which was of course my ultimate goal for all songs taped off the radio, it wasn’t until I just did some internet digging to figure out that it was you who was singing this one, Michel’le.  And once I did determine that it was you who was singing this one, I discovered something else:  you know that girl with the squeaky voice who chimes in every once in awhile to make comments about that no-good dawg being a lying Pinocchio and accusing him of crying wolf?  That’s you, Michel’le!!! What the hell?!?!?! How can someone with such a powerful voice also have the squeakiest voice this side of the Lollipop Guild?  Shit’s crazy, yo.

Did I just say “shit’s crazy, yo”?  Sorry about that, Michel’le.
