This is the second time that Babyshambles has appeared on this list. Pete Doherty, in one form or another, will be on here quite a few times. I've enjoyed most all of his work from the past few years.
"Baddie's Boogie" is from Babyshambles' fantastic second album "Shotter's Nation." Though their first disc was a bit uneven, their second was really tight and focused. I read an interview with the producer who said he was adamant with Pete that if they were to collaborate, Doherty had to be clean and dedicated to the work. If the end results are proof of that, here's to the clarity that sobriety can bring!
I'm not going to pretend to know what this song is about. It sort of sounds like an "Ode to the Scoundrel," but I'm really not sure. There's a part where Pete endears himself to the ladies when he sings about the "lousy life" that it must be when you're married to "a permanently plastered pissed-up bastard," but beyond that I really wouldn't venture to break down any of the words. I would, however, give a big shout-out to Mr. Doherty for the excellent use of alliteration. Told you the guy was a poet!
Honestly, I really just like this song for the beat. "Baddie's Boogie" has this terrific upbeat shuffle. Not sure if it's a boogie, but it always gets me jumping. When I was training for a triathlon last year, I listened to this album constantly when riding my bike. This song was guaranteed to make my speedometer go up a few clicks. Enjoy!
"Baddie's Boogie" can be found on the album "Shotter's Nation." To hear the song, click on the icon in the widget jukebox along the side of the blog.
