  • why are so many people on this site such belligerent, bellowing, raging-infant fucking ass holes? It's fucking MUSIC, for fuck's sake

  • @TheGranny1952 agree with most of what you're saying but the term niggardly has ***nothing*** to do, has never had anything to do, with that other word. They come from totally different roots. They may sound similar but what you say about "Niggardly is offensive because of the fact that blacks HAD to be frugal because they were allowed so little" is not so because it's a completely, totally, different word. Like saying catastrophe comes from cats knocking things over or something.

  • You rock on in everyone's heart! Thanks for being a part of my life...and allowing so many others to reach success by covering you. Classic.

  • @FransPannekeet Rufus originally recorded it in 1963. He was surely performing it in '65.

  • Groovy

  • By the originator.....Rufus Thomas!!!!!

  • I was in high school, we loved this song, and the dance we did with it. Our parents loudly objected to the dance.

  • 1965? The Stones play it in 1964.

    Not possible

  • 10 years ago R.I.P. ...

  • @Terangeree I agree. Plain logic.

  • @TheGranny1952

    "Niggardly" is an adverb derivation of "Niggard" which means "a parsimonious person, a grudging giver". This word has been in the English language since at least the 14th century (and, and was introduced from Scandinavia.

    The word "nigger" is derived from the Spanish word for "black" -- negro -- which came to be used to describe a dark-skinned person. "Nigger" has only been in the English language since the 18th century.

    I suggest "epoch" be used instead of [the word which chsn09 has unilaterally banned from the common lexicon].
