A song originally by Neil Young but was covered by the beautiful Type O Negative (R.I.P. PETER), which in all honesty was way better than Neil Young's original. (Being totally biased) The song though, is most likely about, him
falling in love with a
beautiful woman of mixed race. Like me. Which makes the song even better. Either that, or its just about some fierce woman, but i like my
interpretation better.
"I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.
A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl.
A dreamer of pictures I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.
Pa sent me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah...yeah...yeah. "
Dude: "This song is like that of The Stone's
Brown Sugar. Basically getting the hots for a sexy tan exotic mama jama."
Random Goon: "The
reference to a "cinnamon girl" can be thought of as either a spicy-sweet girl or a girl with a cinnamon complection. In either case, she's a refuge from the riggors of the nightly grind to
make it big; a supporter of the artist's dream."
David: "Anna you wanna be my cinnamon girl?"
Me: "Sorry I wanna be someone else's cinnamon girl.."
David: " :( "
