Beyond rock n'roll:James Brown-It's a man's world:

Discutiile si razboaiele sexiste au tinut de'a lungul vremii capul de afis atat in televiziune cat si muzica,film,mass-media,orice tine de divertisment.
Faptul ca barbatii ar conduce lumea(bine,ca de fapt sunt un nimic fara femei)a fost expus intr-un fel propriu si de catre "taticul muzicii",James Brown.
Este cu siguranta cea mai bune melodie cu subiect sexist din istorie si una din principalele melodii din concertele lui Brown.A fost pe locul 1 in Billboard Top R&B Singles si pe locul 8 in Billboard Hot 100.
Cu versuri simple,multe prea cuminti si biblice,dupa cum aspus revista Rolling Stones,textul descrie realizarile barbatilor in evolutia omului in general dar si nimicul pe care l-ar fi facut acestia fara o femeie.Scrisa impreuna cu Jean Newsome,single'ul a capatate o "parere" din partea ambelor sexe,facandu'l unul deloc ofensator.
Pe locul 123 in lista celor de la Rolling Stones cu cele mai bune cantece,"It's a man's world" este cu adevarat o capodopera fiind "imprumutat" de artisti de renume,Van Morrison,Etta James,Cher,MC5,Tom Jones sau Celine Dion au facut un cover dupa el.

Versuri:

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man

This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
