about
Just for fun. One of the very few 'electronic' songs I've ever written. I'd heard in the early 80's that Michael Jackson was 'heavy into mannequins'. I had a mannequin at the time, which was the 5th member of our family. I sent a tape of this song to Quincy Jones (Michael Jackson's producer) for Michael. I actually sent my mannequins hand, holding a tape of the song. Never heard back from him.
lyrics
Mannequin
Denes McIntosh
Fell in love with a girl I met one night
down on the boulevard.
She never said a word but she looked
like a Hollywood movie star.
Took her home to meet my brother,
we had a fine time (he's a little strange).
But mother told me she would have to leave,
said "she's not our kind".
Chorus:
She's a mannequin, but I don't care.
I'm gonna buy her the finest head of hair
in this town.
She's a mannequin, but I don't care,
She's the best lookin’ thing that I've seen
anywhere around.
I got her a job as a model for a magazine,
she fit right in.
She had such smooth and lovely skin
like a beauty queen.
With a smile so broad you might have thought
it was painted on,
and a personality that causes me to rave on,
and on.
Chorus:
Bridge:
They say "she's cold as ice
like she were dead.
She could never tantalize" that's what they said.
But I like the way those big inviting eyes
don't ever close,
and I like the way my baby never says
"no".
She looked so good beside me in my Pontiac.
Cruisin' to the tunes of the 'Blues Magoos',
sittin' way back.
Dressed to please in designer jeans
everybody stopped to stare,
when I thought I heard somebody say
"I must have bought my baby somewhere".
