Reading Time: 18 min read

13 Randomly Curated Your, Yours, or Yourself Songs features songs by Four Tops, Jobriath, Kid Souf, Landan Ash, Perfume Genius, and The Isley Brothers.

According to the gospel of Perfume Genius (and that’s a sickening gospel 🙌), “Put your back into it / There is still grace in this.” Amen! Maybe it’s not amen in a holy sense, but “Put Your Back N2 It” is personal and epic. Years before the Genius of Perfume 😝, the short-lived but talented Jobriath asserted, “Take me I’m yours”. Around the same time in the 1970s, The Staple Singers, led by Mavis Staples, encouraged us all to “Respect yourself, respect yourself / If you don’t respect yourself.” Did you catch the three words that stand out in these three songs? They are your, yours, and yourself. The possessive adjective (your) and possessive pronouns (yours and yourself) fuel the fire on 13 Randomly Curated Your, Yours, or Yourself Songs, which features songs by Four Tops, Jobriath, Kid Souf, Landan Ash, Perfume Genius, and The Isley Brothers. What more needs to be said? Let us dive into these randomly curated your, yours, or yourself songs!

1. The Isley Brothers, “It’s Your Thing”

It’s Our Thing // Sony Music Entertainment // 1969

“It’s your thing, do what you wanna do / I can’t tell you who to sock it to.” Woo! The Isley Brothers are among the greatest R&B groups ever – #ICONIC. Their most successful song comes from the 1960s: “It’s Your Thing”. “It’s Your Thing” is the sixth track from their 1969 album, It’s Our Thing. “Thing” was written by the late O’Kelly Isley (1937 – 1986), the late Rudolph Isley (1939 – 2023), and the spirited lead singer extraordinaire, Ronald Isley (1941 – ). “It’s Your Thing” gave the legendary R&B collective its highest charting pop hit. It peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. It was certified gold by the RIAA in 1969. Perhaps the biggest achievement of the song is winning the Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance By a Duo Or Group at the 12^th Annual GRAMMY Awards.

The chorus, excerpted above, is the section to beat. It arrives after a super, funky groove is established at the onset. Ronald Isley shows off incredible musicianship on lead vocals. He showcases grit, a ripe falsetto, great abilities, and ample personality. “If you want me to love you, maybe I will / Believe me woman, it ain’t no big deal,” he sings in the first verse, continuing, “You need love now, just as bad as I do / Makes me no difference now, who you give your thing to.” Ooh-wee! Ron gets strong support from the background singers of The Isley Brothers. The lyrics are F-U-N. The music is scintillating – marvelous accompaniment and production. The rhythm section is tight, particularly Ernie Isley (1952 – ) on bass, while the articulated horns further accentuate the greatness. “It’s Your Thing” is one of the funkiest, most fun songs you’ll ever hear, PERIOD! Timeless!

2. Missy Elliott, “Get Ur Freak On”

Miss E… So Addictive // Elektra Entertainment Group, Inc. // 2001

“Headbanger / Hit me /… Give me some new shit!” Woo! “Get Ur Freak On” is one of the premiere songs by four-time Grammy winner Missy Elliott. Fun fact: “Get Ur Freak On” earned Elliott her first Grammy at the 44^th Annual GRAMMY Awards for Best Rap Solo Performance. Yay! Get it, girl! Oddly, it was also nominated for Best R&B Song 🥴. Go figure! It is the fifth track from her platinum-certified third studio album, Miss E… So Addictive. “Get Ur Freak On” peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. It was certified multiplatinum by the RIAA in May 2023. Elliott and the one-and-only Timbaland produced this infectious rap banger (“Me and Timbaland been hot since twenty years ago”). Both artists were ‘forward thinkers’ when it came to their music.

The production bangs. “Get Ur Freak On” sounded futuristic when released and remains ear-catching and innovative years later. The synth and percussion are on point. It samples four songs: “Is That Your Chick (The Lost Verses)” by Memphis Bleek, “Larka 1.1” by Zero-G and Master Dilbahar, “Tomi Tablas 07” and “Classic Tumbi Loop 03” by Zero-G. Missy Elliott brings ample attitude, energy, and personality. Her rhymes are fun and incredibly sharp. “Missy be puttin’ it down, I’m the hottest ‘round,” she brags in the first verse, continuing, “I told y’all mother— (Skrrt), y’all can’t stop me now / Listen to me now, I’m lastin’ twenty rounds.” Confident! “Who’s that bitch? People you know,” she bites in the second verse, adding, “People, here I come, now sweat me when I’m done / We got the radio shook like we got a gun.” Damn! The chorus is simple but utterly infectious: “(Go) Get your freak on (go), get your freak on.” Hell yeah! The change of pace during the third verse is cool. “(Yes) I know you feel me now (Yes), I know you hear me loud / (Yes) I scream it loud and proud (Yes), Missy gon’ blow it down.” A new synth arrives that doesn’t change the minimalist vibe but provides a welcome contrast that keeps “Get Ur Freak On” fresh. The ending is marvelous. “Get Ur Freak On” is one of the best ‘rap’ songs ever. That “new shit” is timeless!

3. Landan Ash, “Love In Your 20s”

“Love In Your 20s” // Landan Ash // 2024

“Chase had too many ways to grow / And Nick couldn’t keep it in his pants.” Oh, snap! “Oh my god / Dating’s hard.” Word! When describing his 2024 song, “Love In Your 20s”, the handsome 😍 and talented Landan Ash (Landan Ash Boyde) asserts, ‘wrote a song about dating in your 20s.’ The honest, beautifully sung pop song was penned by Ash and producer Wesley Henry. The backdrop is celestial (groove, rhythmic guitar, bass, etc.) despite the hellish dating experiences Landan shares with us. Throw in the wrinkle that these experiences are queer – ex-boyfriends – and the song ‘slaps’ a little bit harder.

“Oh my god

Is this where it really starts?

Oh my god

All the ways I’m torn apart from dating

And I take it

And I hate it

What a shame to want love in your twenties.”

Early in “Love In Your 20s,” Landan shares Chase and Nick’s deal-breaking flaws – immature and a man hoe. But, another ex-boyfriend confirms how difficult it is to date in your 20s: “Mitch said everything was just fine / Two weeks went on he’s with a new guy.” In the second verse, he makes general comments about the gay dating pool: “Grown-ass men will act just like boys / You get what you get, and you make no noise / My god / Dating sucks.” “Love In Your 20s” is a necessary addition to the bops playlist. We wish no boy pain on Landan, but, his boy pain is our listening pleasure in this case.

4. Obscurest Vinyl, “I’d Really Like To Get In Your Pants, Because I Just Shit Mine”

“I’d Really Like To Get In Your Pants, Because I Just Shit Mine” // Hallwood Distribution // 2024

Obscurest Vinyl is responsible for releasing ‘the greatest records you’ve never heard.’ Among those records is an ‘obscure’ one from the risqué jazz crooner Vito Lovejoy. You’re not alone if you’ve never heard of him until he unleashed the ‘charming’ song, “I’d Really Like To Get In Your Pants, Because I Just Shit Mine”. The title not only contains innuendo, but also fecal matter – shit! Before Lovejoy gets ‘down and dirty,’ the listeners are privy to a refined instrumental intro. Beyond the old-school, big band backdrop, “I’d Really Like To Get In Your Pants, Because I Just Shit Mine” isn’t refined in the least. I mean, the title is on-the-nose to the nth degree.

Vito Lovejoy is brutally honest about his shitting problem. “I just can’t stop ruining all of these pants / I’m just shittin’ and shittin’ and shittin’.” Damn, that’s ample shit, bruh! Irritated regarding his irritable bowels, Lovejoy adds an intensifier to the shit: “Trying to get in your pants / Because I keep fuckin’ shittin’ in mine.” What more can you say but, holy fuckin’ shit! “I’d Really Like To Get In Your Pants, Because I Just Shit Mine” is all about shock value. Although it’s brief, running north of a minute, Vito Lovejoy and Obscurest Vinyl get their point across loud and clear. And that point involves lots of shit! In all seriousness, this ‘unreal’ record should be taken with a grain of salt. It’s all for the sake of entertainment and thoroughly gets the job done.

5. The Staple Singers, Respect Yourself

Be Altitude: Respect Yourself // Concord Music Group Inc. // 1972

“If you disrespect anybody / That you run into / How in the world do you think / Anybody’s supposed to respect you?” It’s a legitimate question posed by Pop Staples (1914 – 2000) and The Staple Singers. On “Respect Yourself”, the iconic, Rock and Roll / Gospel Music Hall of Famers speak to the importance of how to treat others with respect – the way you’d want to be treated. Of course, this lack of respect highlighted in this funk/soul classic penned by Mack Rice and Luther Ingram has ties to inequality and racism (“Take the sheet off your face, boy / It’s a brand-new day”). The Be Altitude: Respect Yourself highlight was a big hit, peaking at no. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Al Bell produced “Respect Yourself,” which is set in a minor key. Some of the instrumental highlights include bluesy electric piano riffs, a dynamic horn arrangement with epic riffs, and a fabulous groove anchored by the drums. With Pops taking the lead early, he is supported by the background vocals of Cleotha Staples (1934 – 2013) and Yvonne Staples (1936 – 2018). The vocal harmonies are sweet. Also sweet are the tuneful melodies that accompany the thought-provoking, wise lyrics. The chorus is the section to beat:

“Respect yourself, respect yourself

If you don’t respect yourself

Ain’t nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na, na, na

Respect yourself, respect yourself.”

Pops cedes the lead to Mavis Staples (1939 – ). She delivers incredibly powerful pipes in the second half of the song. Mavis gets political (“Keep talkin’ ‘bout the president / Won’t stop air pollution”) and criticizes ‘ugly’ men with the help of the rest of the Staples (“Oh, you cuss around women folk / And you don’t even know their names / And you’re dumb enough to think / That’ll make you a big ol’ man”). Throughout “Respect Yourself”, The Staple Singers perform with incredible authenticity. Mavis’ ad-libs to close out the song are stellar. It is one of the ‘best of the best’ when it comes to soul classics.

6. Perfume Genius, “Put Your Back N2 It”

Put Your Back N 2 It // Perfume Genius / Matador // 2012

“Put your back into it / There is still grace in this.” What is there still grace in Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas)? Intimacy and sex… as a gay man. Hadreas keeps the lyrics minimal but meaningful on “Put Your Back N2 It”. “Put Your Back N2 It” is the 10^th track from Perfume Genius’ 2012 album, also titled Put Your Back N 2 It. Of the album, Christina Lee penned in an article in The Fanzine in 2012:

Put Your Back insists that there’s grace in gay sex, and that his love, boiled down to its essence, is no different from anyone else’s love.

Eloquently stated. The out-and-proud musician approaches this song therapeutically, asserting there should NOT be shame regarding sexuality. He’s damn right.

The song title might be misleading. Without hearing the song or examining the lyrics, it suggests an aggressive sexual experience. Furthermore, when it comes to gay sex, it carries a negative connotation. It’s considered dirty, filthy, unnatural, etc. Perfume Genius paints a much different picture with his radiant pipes and the undeniable authenticity and sincerity of his performance. In the second verse, Hadreas asserts, “There is love with no hiding / Nothing you show me – I will never leave you.” Aww! The chorus, like the verses, is brief but potent: “Let me be the one to turn you on.” The musical accompaniment shimmers, led by the synthesizer of his partner, Alan Wyffels. “Put Your Back N2 It” is one of the most refined and gorgeous songs about intimacy you’ll ever hear. Homophobes be damned!

7. Kid Souf, “On Your Face”

“On Your Face” // Kid Souf // 2024

“I look like sex.” Ooh-wee, Kid Souf! That’s surefire confidence 🥵! “If I lick it, then I own it,” he sings, adding, “If I kiss it, I control it / I been kissin’ on your body all night.” Oh, snap! Kid Souf flaunts his sex appeal and sex-positivity on the bold, unapologetic single “On Your Face”. Not only does it feature suggestive lyrics, but the cover art features Souf’s name written on his face with jizz 💦, as well as a music video with simulated sex (oral and anal) and blasphemy 😈! There’s no doubt about “On Your Face” – it’s all about pleasure, baby!

“I wanna touch on my own body ‘cause my body’s the goal.” Damn, that’s a strong statement there, Kid Souf! He makes numerous eyebrow-raising assertions. “So, blow me while I blow this money right up my nose” references a BJ and drug use 😳. He doesn’t stop there, either! “Give you something good tonight / Light you up like camera lights / Down your throat until it’s numb…” Size matters! If we are to believe what he implies, he is well-endowed 🍆… Further exploring the outlandish lyrics, Souf adds, “Wanna hear you scream / Wanna feel your body shake / Wanna hear you speak in tongues / I don’t wanna know your name / Just give me the word / And I’ll write it on your face.” Let’s unpack that. He enjoys moaning, the ‘motion of the body’ during sex, he doesn’t care about his partner’s name, and will willingly ejaculate on his face. Holy fuck! “On Your Face” is nothing short of a trip! Kid Souf brings ample attitude, the lyrics are infectious and suggestive, while the musical backdrop, with its dynamic, danceable synths and beat, goes hard. It’s not explicit with curse words, but still, it’s not safe for work!

8. The S.O.S. Band, “Take Your Time (Do It Right)”

S.O.S. // UMG Recordings, Inc. // 1980

“Oo-ooh, baby / Let’s do it / Take your time / Let’s do it.” R&B group The S.O.S. Band earned a platinum single with “Take Your Time (Do It Right)”. I was the lead single and fifth track from their debut album, S.O.S. released in 1980. It marked the sole top 40 hit by the R&B collective. While The S.O.S. Band had other songs dent the pop charts, “Take Your Time (Do It Right),” composed by Sigidi and Harold Clayton, was the song to beat, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.

There is lots to love about “Take Your Time (Do It Right).” This eight-minute, post-disco, funk cut features an ear-catching sound palette. The rhythm section (keys, guitar, bass, and drums) and the horns are electrifying. The lead vocals by Mary Davis are also terrific. Davis brings us a commanding vocal performance that’s quite expressive. Besides her fab lead, the background vocals (including Mary) enhance “Take Your Time.” “Lay your heavy load down / So we can stop and kick back,” Davis encourages in the first verse, adding, “It seems we never take the time to do / All the things we want to, yeah.” Ooh-la-la! In the second verse, she adds, “Let’s take some time to be alone / Lock the door, put out the phone, yeah.” Of course, the phone back then was a landline… The lyrics are fun, particularly the infectious, repetitive chorus:

“Baby, we can do it

Take the time, do it right

We can do it, baby

Do it tonight.”

No extensive analysis is necessary for “Take Your Time (Do It Right)”. The S.O.S. Band ‘put their foot into’ this one.

9. Kevin Atwater, “why did you invite me to your wedding”

“why did you invite me to your wedding” // Kevin Atwater // 2023

“I got your message last night around 1:00 / You’re getting married, and you want me to come.” Kevin Atwater continues, “You miss me a lot and the wedding’s next month / I think you were drunk, you spelled ‘wedding’ wrong / I used to break wishbones and pray that you liked me.” Misspelling wedding is questionable. Still, the more telling lyric is the latter. In “why did you invite me to your wedding”, there is a bond between Kevin (or his character) and this man who is now getting married. The bond seemed to transcend friendship, at least from Kevin’s perspective. Still, a 1:00 am text from a soon-to-be groom whom we presume is marrying a woman (he paints his crush as a jock)? Sounds gay, or at least, there was something there…

The point is that this reconnection has Kevin in his feelings. He penned a relatable song that captures the plight of gay romance. Did he crush on a ‘straight’ guy, hoping there was a chance? That is the question. Atwater has feelings for someone who may or may not reciprocate those feelings in the way he’d hoped – boyfriend and boyfriend. The second verse recalls an incident that speaks to the fact that maybe, the groom-to-be wasn’t so straight…???

“…Caught in the moment

I kissed you and then you got quiet

You could’ve hurt me, it would’ve been easy

… But you took my hand and asked me to dance

To nothing and never brought it up again.”

His friend is one of the nice boys – marriage material. He also could be… you know… In the final chorus, things are confused. Kevin has questions, notes how things have changed, and knows he’d mess things up for his friend/crush and bride-to-be. As much as “I wanna call you with a hand in my pants,” rightfully, Atwater closes the chapter without closing it: “I’ll never know why / Cause I’ll never reply / So you can just stay nice / In the back of my mind.” Atwater drops an honest, thought-provoking gem with “why did you invite me to your wedding”. Atwater sounds radiant, backed by warm, dreamy-sounding production (Hazey Eyes).

10. Jobriath, “Take Me I’m Yours”

Jobriath // Elektra Entertainment Group Inc. // 1973

“Any day you could buy me or tie me up / A slave to your perversity.” Say what, now?! “Refuse me diffuse me / To the corners of the galaxy.” Oh, snap! Sadly, barrier-breaking, overlooked glam rock musician Jobriath (Bruce Wayne Campbell, 1946 – 1983) died far too soon. Only 36 when he passed, the first openly gay rock musician to be signed to a major label and was also one of the first famous musicians to die from AIDS. Despite his short life, Campbell’s gifts as a musician are indisputable. “Take Me I’m Yours” is the opening track from his self-titled 1973 debut album.

The first verse of “Take Me I’m Yours” is ear-catching, namely the excerpted lyrics. The second verse doesn’t disappoint, either. “Baby, you just amaze me and daze me / You’re the blind spot in my consciousness,” Jobriath sings, continuing, “C’mon and forsake me and break me / And drink the blood of my obsessiveness.” Ooh-wee! Most accessible is the chorus, which highlights the titular lyrics: “Take me I’m yours.” Still, Jobriath compels with the outro, where, “Take your torch and burn me and turn me over / And over in your dreams of Godliness.” Wow 😮! “Take Me I’m Yours” is incredibly alluring. It’s not only the songwriting, though it’s ‘DEFINITELY’ a big deal. Jobriath possessed a distinct, expressive singing voice. He commands the track from start to finish. The musical arrangement and production are epic, with sweet-wailing guitars, robust bass, groovy drums, colorful keys, and marvelous backing vocals supporting Campbell. Honestly, Jobriath deserves far more recognition. This song rocks 🤘!

11. Earth, Wind & Fire, “Keep Your Head to the Sky”

Head To The Sky // Columbia // 1973

“Keep your head to the sky / So the clouds / Keep your head to the sky / So they can tell you why, Lord.” Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the greatest, most iconic bands ever. The R&B/soul/funk collective have hits upon hits upon hits. One of their surefire classics is “Keep Your Head to the Sky” the second track from their 1973 album, Head To The Sky. Surprisingly, “Keep Your Head to the Sky” only achieved moderate pop success (no. 52 on the Billboard Hot 100). By chart performance alone, the song is underrated. It was written by the late, great Maurice White (1941 – 2016) and produced by Joe Wissert.

To be fair, faith-based songs don’t perform as well on the mainstream charts. Faith is a key component of “Keep Your Head to the Sky” where Earth, Wind & Fire aren’t shy to reference G-O-D. “As I grew, and with strength / Master kept me as I repent,” they sing in the first verse, with the Master being God. In the second, the pronouns are He and His, capitalized to represent the one and only: “He gave me the will to be free / Purpose to live His reality.” The songwriting is thoughtful. The falsetto by the high-flying Philip Bailey is angelic. Beyond Bailey, vocals are provided by Maurice White, Verdine White, and Jessica Cleaves. The closing vocals (harmonized) are chilling. Beyond the lyrics, themes, and vocals, the musical accompaniment is EVERYTHING – a tight rhythm section including ample percussion and winds. The oft-sampled “Keep Your Head to the Sky” is nothing short of sensational.

12. Four Tops, “Baby, I Need Your Loving”

Four Tops // Motown // 1965

“Baby, I need your loving / Got to have all your loving.” Agreed, universally, Four Tops! Levi Stubbs (1936 – 2008), Abdul “Duke” Fakir (1935 – 2024), Renaldo “Obie” Benson (1936 – 2005), and Lawrence Payton, Sr. (1938 – 1997) were the legendary lineup of one of the greatest vocal groups of all time. Among their greatest songs is their debut Motown single, “Baby, I Need Your Loving”, the opening track from Four Tops, released in 1965. Iconic songwriting trio Holland-Dozier-Holland – Brian Holland (1941 – ), Eddie Holland (1939 – ), and Lamont Dozier (1941 – 2022) – penned this unforgettable Motown classic. Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier produced it. “Baby, I Need Your Loving” reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.

A killer drum riff commences “Baby, I Need Your Loving.” Fabulous background vocals featured during the intro. The arrangement and production are sound – the expectation from the Holland-Dozier tandem. The string orchestration stands out. Levi Stubbs ‘brings the heat’ with his smooth, refined lead vocals. The chorus is the centerpiece – the section to beat. Notably, it changes keys compared to the verse, which is ear-catching and cool. Although the chorus gets ample shine, the verses deserve recognition, too. After uttering the titular lyric in the first verse, Stubbs asserts, “Although you’re never near (I really need you) / Your voice I often hear (I really need you) / Another day, another night (I really need you) / I long to hold you tight (I really need you) / ‘Cause I’m so lonely.” In the second verse, Stubbs doesn’t mind being considered weak by begging to attain her love. In the third and final verse, he informs her, “Darling, I can’t go on without you /… This loneliness inside me, darling / Makes me feel half alive.” Oh, snap! The thing that cures all ails is her love. “Baby, I Need Your Loving” is a 60-year-old song, yet it remains as magical and as potent as it was when it first arrived. Four Tops ‘put their foot’ into this one!

13. Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers, “Encourage Yourself”

Grand Finale // EMI Gospel // 2007

“Sometimes you have to encourage yourself / Sometimes you have to speak victory during the test.” Life can be arduous and imperfect. Everybody faces tests – trials and tribulations – at some point. But when the going gets tough, the tough get going! Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers provide sound advice and supreme encouragement on the song, “Encourage Yourself”. “And no matter how you feel speak the word and you will be healed / Speak over yourself, encourage yourself in the Lord.” Not only should you encourage yourself, but you should do so in the Lord.

“Sometimes you have to speak a word over yourself

Depression is all around, but God is a present help

Well, the enemy created walls but remember giants they do fall

Speak over yourself encourage yourself in the lord.”

“Encourage Yourself” is the second track from Grand Finale, the 2007 album by Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers. Composed by Lawrence, The Tri-City Singers have spiritual text and tuneful melodies to bring to life. The lead vocals (Sheri Jones-Moffett) are electrifying – authentic, commanding, and dynamic. It’s not all lead, however. There are brilliant choral vocals that bring the encouragement out full throttle. Also contributing to the spiritually rich record is a celestial musical accompaniment. The band is tight: keys, warm organ, guitar licks, robust bass line, sound groove carried by drums, and articulated horns. Every facet of “Encourage Yourself” is encouraging! Speak it into existence and believe, “I’m encouraged, I’m encouraged, I’m encouraged, I’m encouraged!” 🙌 Amen 🙏!
