We're going to give ourselves to chance, oh, baby.ĪRMSTRONG: One of the things that Marvin Gaye did was record alternate versions of some of his songs. You said you'd be my lover after the dance. Yeah, we going to hold each other after the dance. GAYE: (Singing) We're going to kiss each other after the dance. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "I WANNA BE WHERE YOU ARE") He played so much Marvin Gaye growing up, I would get annoyed, like, dad can we listen to TLC? Can we listen to Brandy? And he's telling me, you know - Marvin Gaye - this is real music. And Marvin Gaye is one of his all-time favorites. After the dance, we are going.ĪRMSTRONG: Another song is Marvin Gaye's "I Wanna Be Where You Are." My father is pretty much an old-school music connoisseur. MARVIN GAYE: (Singing) After the dance, we will do something instrumental. Video light gal ah tek off dem clothes mek me see. All ah fight true dem wah be di closest to me.

Hold on - but you can't use my phone.ĪRMSTRONG: But obviously, he didn't think I was too crazy. It was hilarious, people thought that we were some old, angry couple.īADU: (Singing) You need to call Tyrone. He was the target of all of my, you know, "Call Tyrone" anger. Call him - and tell him come on.ĪRMSTRONG: In fact, it's the song I sang the night I met my boyfriend. I'm not really a great singer, but I have amazing stage presence.īADU: (Singing) I heard you better call Tyrone. I love, love, love Erykah Badu, and "Call Tyrone" is actually my go-to karaoke song. You got to bring Jim, James, Paul and Tyrone.ĪRMSTRONG: "Call Tyrone" by Erykah Badu. And here's what's playing in my ear.ĮRYKAH BADU: (Singing) Every time you come around.
I'm TELL ME MORE's self-appointed pop culture expert. And here's a little taste of what's on producer Bridget Armstrong - the diva in training - this is what's on her personal playlist.īRIDGET ARMSTRONG: Hi, I'm Bridget Armstrong. So as we wind down production, we thought it would be nice to hear about the music that members of our staff are listening to as part of our regular series In Your Ear. As we mentioned, our last broadcast is scheduled for August 1.
And from one legendary entertainment diva, to a diva in training and why I say that will become clear in a moment.
