It just occurred to me that it may be helpful to have the lyrics all in one place where we can compare the craft and artistry side-by-side.
Everything - 'Hooch'
Who got the hoochWho got the hoochWho got the only sweetest thing in the world
The working day was longAnd the road is grinding onAnd your body's winding down againThe tribal fire's hereAnd the circle speaks so nearAnd the simple truth so very much clearer
Who got the hooch, babyWho got the only sweetest thing in the worldWho got the love, who got the fresh-e-freshyWho got the only sweetest thing in the world
The birds and bees will singThe jams begin to ringThe good vibes flow from me to youThe evening turns to nightThe fire and moonlightThe dance of all who came before
Let's get real, let's get heavyTill the water breaks the leveeLet's get loose, loose, who got the hooch

LFO - 'Summer Girls'
Yeah, I like it when the girlsStop by in the summerDo you remember?Do you rememberWhen we met, last summer?New Kids On The BlockHad a bunch of hitsChinese food makes me sickAnd I think it's flyWhen girls stop byFor the summerFor the summerI like girls thatWear Abercrombie and FitchI'd take her if I had one wishBut she's been goneSince that summerSince that summer
Hip-hop mama, spic n spanMet you one summerAnd it all beganYou're the best girlThat I ever did seeThe great Larry Byrd, jersey thirty-threeWhen you take a sipYou buzz like a hornetBilly Shakespeare wroteA whole bunch of sonnetsCall me when you miss me'Cause I can't speak babySomething in your eyesReally drove me crazyNow I can't forget youAnd it makes me madYou left one dayAnd never came backStayed all summerThen went back homeMacualay Culkin wasn't home aloneFell deep in love butNow we ain't speakingMichael J. Fox was Alex P. KeatonWhen I met youI saw my name is RichYou look like a girlFrom Abercrombie and Fitch
New Kids On The BlockHad a bunch of hitsChinese food makes me sickAnd I think it's flyWhen girls stop byFor the summerFor the summerI like girls thatWear Abercrombie and FitchI'd take her if I had one wishBut she's been goneSince that summerSince that summer
Cherry pants CokeCrushed rocks till I boogieUsed to hate schoolSo I had to play hookieAlways been hip to the b ball styleKnown to act wild andMake a girl smileLove New Edition and the Candy GirlRemind me of youBecause you rock my worldYou come from GeorgiaWhere the peaches growThey drink lemonadeAnd speak real slowYou love hip-hopAnd rock 'n' rollDad took off whenYou were four years oldThere was a good manNamed Paul RevereI feel much better babyWhen you're nearYou love Fun Dip and Cherry CokeI like the way you laughWhen I tell a jokeWhen I met youI said my name is RichYou look like a girlFrom Abercrombie and Fitch
In the summertimeGirls got it goin' onShake and wiggle toA hip-hop songSummertime girlsAre the kind I likeI'll steal your honey likeI stole your bike
Bugalute shrimp and pogo sticksMy mind takes me backThere oh-so quickLet you off the hookLike my man Mr. LimpitThink about that summerAnd I bug 'cause I miss itLike the color purpleMacaroni and cheeseRuby-red slippersAnd a bunch of treesCall you up but what's the use?I like Kevin BaconBut I hate FootlooseCame in the doorI said it beforeThink I'm over youBut I'm really not sureWhen I met youI said my name is RichYou look like a girlFrom Abercrombie & Fitch
In the summer girls comeAnd summer girls goSome are worthwhileAnd some are so-soSummer girls comeAnd summer girls goSome are worthwhileAnd some are so-soSummertime girlsGot it goin' onShake and wiggleTo a hip-hop songSummertime girlsAre the kind I likeI'll steal your honeyLike I stole your bike
Crazy Town - 'Butterfly'
Come my ladyCome come my ladyYou're my butterfly, sugar babyCome my ladyCome come my ladyYou're my butterfly, sugar baby
Such a sexy, sexy pretty little thingFierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ringAnd I ain't gonna lie 'cause your loving gets me highSo to keep you by my side there's nothing that I won't tryButterflies in her eyes and looks to killTime is passing I'm asking could this be real'Cause I can't sleep I can't hold stillThe only thing I really know is she got sex appealI can feel too much is never enoughYou're always there to lift me upWhen these times get rough I was lost, now I'm foundEver since you've been aroundYou're the women that I wantSo yo, I'm putting it down
Come come my ladyYou're my butterfly, sugar babyCome my lady you're my pretty babyI'll make your legs shakeYou make me go crazyCome come my ladyYou're my butterfly, sugar babyCome my lady you're my pretty babyI'll make your legs shakeYou make me go crazy
I don't deserve you unless it's some kind of hidden messageTo show me life is preciousThen I guess it's trueBut to tell truth, I really never knewTil I met you. See I was lost and confusedTwisted and used upKnew a better life existed but thought that I missed it
My lifestyle's wild I was living like a wild childTrapped on a short leash paroled the police filesSo yo, what's happening now?I see the sun breaking down into dark cloudsAnd a vision of you standing out in a crowd
Come come my ladyYou're my butterflySugar babyCome my lady you're my pretty babyI'll make your legs shakeYou make me go crazyCome come my ladyYou're my butterfly, sugar babyCome my lady you're my pretty babyI'll make your legs shakeYou make me go crazy
Hey sugar momma, come and dance with meThe smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with meWhatever tickles your fancyGirl it's you like Sid and NancySo sexy, almost evil talkin' about butterflies in my headI used to think happy endings were only in the books I read butYou made me feel alive when I was almost dead
You filled that empty space with the love I used to chaseAnd as far as I can see it don't get better than thisSo butterfly, here is a song and it's sealed with a kissAnd a thank you miss
Come and dance with meCome and dance with meCome and dance with meSo come and dance with me
Come come my ladyYou're my butterfly, sugar babyCome my lady you're my pretty babyI'll make your legs shakeYou make me go crazyCome come my ladyYou're my butterfly, sugar babyCome my lady you're my pretty babyI'll make your legs shakeYou make me go crazyCome come my ladyYou're my butterfly, sugar babyCome my lady you're my pretty babyI'll make your legs shakeYou make me go crazyCome come my ladyYou're my butterfly, sugar babyCome my lady you're my pretty babyI'll make your legs shakeYou make me go crazy
Come and dance with me

There is a regional jam band that used to come through my college town all the time named
(please sit if you aren't already)
əkoostik hookah
I never saw them but I'm willing to bet they are tapping a similar vein of good-time mellow-groove rock and roll music.

Reminded how the recent oral history of "All Star" talked about the band listening to all the songs that were in the top 10 and trying to mash them together into a new song...and these songs are definitely the sauce that went into that one.

HookahvilleHookahville is a semi-annual music festival featuring performances from many local and regional bands and usually hosted and headlined by əkoostik hookah. Formerly located at Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio or at Frontier Ranch in Kirkersville, Ohio, it was moved to Zane Shawnee Caverns in Bellefontaine, Ohio in 2017 where Hookahville 50 was held in September 2018 and was ekoostik hookah's reunion show with EH2.0. Hookahville 51 was held at Brushy Fork Phamily Ranch in Newark, OH in May 2019. Hookahville 52 will be held at Clear Fork Adventure Resort in Butler, Ohio where EH2.0 will return for one more performance. Spring Hookahville is held the weekend before Memorial Day weekend; the end of summer version is held during Labor Day weekend.
