Pentru mine Eurythmics ramane cea mai nonconformista trupa a tuturor timpurilor,nu pentru ca Annie Lennox ar fi aparut in fundul gol pe scena,ar fi aparut sex tape'uri cu ea prin presa sau pentru nu stiu ce scandaluri(toate astea ar fi facut din Eurythmics o trupa ca toate celelalte la ora actual),ci pentru ca au oscilat intotdeauna intre stiluri,lucru care m-a fascinat mereu.Nu poti observa notele de gospel sau R&B din melodiile lor fara a le sterge origina rock,prezenta backing vocals'ului de culoare aduce si ea un plus la melodiile lor."Missionary Man" este,dupa parerea mea cea mai expresiva melodie a lor,are toate elementele care ii definesc plus un un videoclip care te face sa spui "Ohh boy!" si da,Annie Lennox e o femeie superba,ador femeile care au aceea frumusetse care nu are nevoie se fie incadrata de par pentru a parea perfecta,Annie Lennox e perfecta.
Extrasa de pe albumul Revenge,lansat un 1986 in US si in 1987 in UK.Desi trupa e originara din UK,melodia a vaut mai mlt succes in US plasandu-se pe locul 14 in Billboard Hot 100,locul 7 in Billboard Hot Dance/Club Party si locul 1 in Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts.De asemenea videoclipul,unul absolut genial,a fost nominalizat la Best Video la MTV Video Awards(pe vremea cand un premiu MTV inca mai inseamna ca esti un muzican desavarsit).
Versuri:
Well I was born an original sinner, I was borne from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money piled up to my chin
My mother told me good, my mother told me strong
She said, "Be true to yourself and you can't go wrong
But there's just one thing that you must understand"
You can fool with your brother but don't mess with a missionary man"
Don't mess with a missionary man, don't mess with a missionary man, don't mess with a missionary man
Oh the missionary man, he's got god on his side
He's got the saints and apostles backin' up from behind
Black eyed looks from those bible books, he's a man with a mission, got a serious mind
There was a woman in the jungle and a monkey on a tree
The missionary man he was followin' me
He said "Stop what you're doing
Get down upon your knees
I've got a message for you that you better believe", believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe
Well I was born an original sinner, I was borne from original sin (Original sin)
And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money
Don't ask, we're in the know
Oh baby (Don't mess with a missionary man)
Leave him alone now (Missionary man)
Don't you mess with him, no, no (Missionary man)
(Missionary man) Don't mess with a missionary man
(Don't you mess with that man) Missionary man
And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money piled up to my chin
My mother told me good, my mother told me strong
She said, "Be true to yourself and you can't go wrong
But there's just one thing that you must understand"
You can fool with your brother but don't mess with a missionary man"
Don't mess with a missionary man, don't mess with a missionary man, don't mess with a missionary man
Oh the missionary man, he's got god on his side
He's got the saints and apostles backin' up from behind
Black eyed looks from those bible books, he's a man with a mission, got a serious mind
There was a woman in the jungle and a monkey on a tree
The missionary man he was followin' me
He said "Stop what you're doing
Get down upon your knees
I've got a message for you that you better believe", believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe, believe
Well I was born an original sinner, I was borne from original sin (Original sin)
And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money
Don't ask, we're in the know
Oh baby (Don't mess with a missionary man)
Leave him alone now (Missionary man)
Don't you mess with him, no, no (Missionary man)
(Missionary man) Don't mess with a missionary man
(Don't you mess with that man) Missionary man
