You're twistin' my melon man,
You know you talk so hip man,
You're twistin' my melon man (call the cops).

Hey rainmaker, come away from that man,
You know he's gonna take away your promised land,
Hey good lady, he just wants what you got you know,
He'll never stop until he's taken the lot.

He-he-hey, he-he-hey-hey.

Gonna stamp out your fire, he can change your desire,
Don't you know he can make you forget you're a man?
Gonna stamp out your fire, he can change your desire,
Don't you know he can make you forget you're a man, you're a man?
You're twistin' my melon man, you speak so hip.

Hey rainmaker, he got golden plans, I tell you,
You'll make a stranger in your own land,
Hey good lady, he got God on his side,
He got a double tongue you never think he would lie.

(oh he lied, ooh he's twistin' my melon man,
oh he lied, ooh he's twistin' my melon man)

Gonna stamp out your fire, he can change your desire,
Don't you know he can make you forget you're a man?
Gonna stamp out your fire, he can change your desire,
Don't you know he can make you forget you're the man (you're the man)?

He's gonna step on you again,
He's gonna step on you,
He's gonna step on you again,
He's gonna step on youuuuuuu.

Hey rainmaker, come away from that man,
You know he's gonna take away your promised land,
Hey good lady, he got God on his side,
He got a double tongue you never think he would lie.

Gonna stamp out your fire, he can change your desire,
Don't you know he can make you forget you're a man?
Gonna stamp out your fire, he can change your desire,
Don't you know he can make you forget you're the man (you're the man)?

You're twistin' my melon man,
You know you talk so hip man.

He-he-hey, he-he-hey-hey.

Daft question perhaps but: have the Mondays ever acknowledged the similarity with John Kongas Tokoloshe man?

Brilliant album really. I wonder if dance rock is going to make a comeback soon, considering the prevalence of the 30 year cycle of pop culture.

Way back when I was young, an ol' timer said this about a constant griper, "If someone hit that guy over the head with an axe, he'd probably complain that they struck him with the blunt side."  Since I am now an ol' timer I get to use that line.

I remember this song co-written by and performed by John Kongos in 1971 under the title "He's Gonna Step on You Again".

It was very popular with DJ's in discos as a "floor filler" to motivate the reluctant teenagers who could not dance when sober - like me {#Wink}

This cover version is at least as good as the original version and I suppose it had the same effect almost 30 year later.

Love this! Always thought it was Robyn Hitchcock till I checked just now. In any case, it's a great triippy get-off-work slam-a-beer song! So cool to see the Japanese CD cover! It says in katakana, "Hap-py Man-days" and makes me feel natsukashii for my 20 years in日本.

Wow, that's a pretty amazing piece of synchronicity. This album came out in 1990, and in 1991 Primal Scream came out with their "Screamadelica" album, which is almost a carbon-copy of this sound. I never knew about the Happy Mondays. I wonder what the rest of the album is like? I sure played the hell out of that Primal Scream disc...

(Just a quick post-script - the cover art for the "Screamadelica" album was done by the label's in-house artist, Paul Cannell, who was allegedly inspired by a damp water spot he'd seen on the Creation Records offices ceiling after taking LSD - I'm sure it helped many people enjoy the record)

I am discovering this; I found it irritating...
Then I listened to several versions (Happy Mondays, Def Leppard, Party Boys).

John Kongo's original is exactly that: an unheard of concept, a UFO of a song - in the best sense of the words. Almost experimental.
I'd give the Party Boys kudos for the nice energy of their cover... the others aren't bringing anything new to the table, in my opinion.
