The revolution will not be televised...

BaZmO*

I'm sure most of you are familiar with Gil Scot Heron's original version of the seminal "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" but I'm trying to find a version of the song I heard years ago by a female vocalist/poet.
The problem is I can't think of her name and I've not been able to get any results using Google.

Anybody heard her version? I think it's quite x-rated in parts IIRC. And I seem to remember seeing her perform it on a show like Saturday Night Live or something similar.

Cheers,

Is it Dana Bryant, on the album Giant Steps, Vol. 1?

Hi,

By your decription it sounds like it could be this:

DJ Vadim [feat. Sarah Jones] - Your Revolution

Maybe? Cool tune

Your revolution will not happen between these thighs
Your revolution will not happen between these thighs
Your revolution will not happen between these thighs
Not happen between these thighs
Not happen between these thighs
The real revolution ain't about booty size
The Versaces you buys, or the Lexus you drives
And though we've lost Biggie Smalls
Baby your notorious revolution
Will never allow you to lace no lyrical douche
In my bush
Your revolution will be killing me softly
With fugees
Your revolution ain't gonna knock me up without no ring
And produce little future emcees
Because that revolution will not happen between these thighs
Your revolution will not find me in the backseat of a jeep
With LL, hard as hell, you know doin it and doin it and doin it
well
doin it and doin it and doin it well, nah come on now
Your revolution will not be you smacking it up,
flipping it, or rubbing it down
Nor will it take you downtown and humpin around
Because that revolution will not happen between these thighs
Your revolution will not have me singing
ain't no nigga like the one I got
And your revolution will not be sending me for no drip, drip VD
shot
And your revolution will not involve me, feelin your nature rise
Or helping you fantasize
Because that revolution will not happen between these thighs
No no, not between these thighs
Oh, my Jamican brother, your revolution will not make you feel
bombastic

And really fantastic
And have you groping in the dark for that rubber wrapped in
plastic
You will not be touching your lips to my triple dip of french
vanilla,
butter pecan, chocolate delux
Or having Akinyele's dream, m-hmm a 6-foot blowjob machine m-hmm
You want to subjugate your queen? uh-huh
Think I'm a put it in my mouth, just cuz you made a few bucks?
Please brother please
Your revolution will not be me tossing my weave
And making me believe I'm some caviar-eating ghetto mafia clown
Or me giving up my behind, just so I can get signed
And maybe having somebody else write my rhymes
I'm Sarah Jones, not Foxy Brown
You know I'm Sarah Jones, not Foxy Brown
Your revolution makes me wonder, where could we go
If we could drop the empty pursuit of props and ego
We'd revolt back to our Roots, use a little Common Sense
On a quest to make love De La Soul, no pretense
But your revolution will not be you flexing your little sex and
status
To express what you feel
Your revolution will not happen between these thighs
Will not happen between these thighs
Will not be you shaking and me *yawn* faking
Between these thighs
Because the real revolution, that's right I said the real
revolution
You know I'm talking about the revolution
When it comes, it's gonna be real
it's gonna be real
it's gonna be real
when it finally comes
when it finally comes
it's gonna be real, yeah yeah

It is Sarah Jones and DJ Vadim.

Cheers for the help lads.
