New music from Richie Sambora and Nikki Lund

Richie and Nikki's fashion collaboration is also a musical one. Well, kind of. You can check out White Trash Beautiful's songs at their website. The two tracks up at the moment: White Trash Beautiful and Crazy. While I don't wish to prejudice you before listening, I will suggest you take the songs for what they are: shallow dance-pop tracks written for the catwalk. In other words, it's not supposed to be Stranger In This Town or Undiscovered Soul so don't take it too seriously. ;)

Here are the lyrics I heard... I'm pretty sure I've got some wrong, so if you're one of the people who managed to listen to the whole thing without suffering some kind of meltdown, please feel free correct me. ;)

Crazy:
C-R-A-Z-Y
C-R-A-Z-Y
C-R-A-Z-Y
C-R-A-Z-Y

I'm lookin' in the mirror
Puttin' on lipstick
You know I taste good
You wanna lick it
Get a couple in me
I'm anything I wanna be
I'm not broken
Don't try to fix me

I'm gonna go out
Let it rip, trip the shit
Kick and blow out
Kiss my lips and I
It's true that it don't mean a thing to me
I'm gonna rock this show out

You can't fix C-R-A-Z-Y (C-R-A-Z-Y)
Touch me, you know my (C-R-A-Z-Y)
Body will start to rock (rock)
Rock (rock)
Rock (rock)
(Rock, rock)

C-R-A-Z-Y
C-R-A-Z-Y
C-R-A-Z-Y
C-R-A-Z-Y

Damn you're so hot
You're makin' my ice cream
I wanna own you
And where have you been?
Open your mouth and whisper what you wanna do
You get two words
And it's "Do you?"

I'm gonna go out
Let it rip, trip the shit
Kick and blow out
Kiss my lips and I
It's true that it don't mean a thing to me
I'm gonna rock this show out

You can't fix C-R-A-Z-Y (C-R-A-Z-Y)
Touch me, you know my (C-R-A-Z-Y)
Body will start to rock (rock)
Rock (rock)
Rock (rock)
(Rock, rock)

C-R-A-Z-Y

I'm gonna go out

White Trash Beautiful:
Own it, wear your sexuality
Don't be afraid of it 'cause it's reality
You have it so work it, you gotta be
You know what they wanna see
It's White Trash Beautiful
White Trash Beautiful

I make love like a porn star
Take a shower, go to work in
Lip gloss, flip flops, jeans and a T-shirt
I'm drinkin' Vertigo
I can be fabulous
But I like a beer
You bet that can kick your ass
It's just an attitude
It's just a look
I'm the exception to the rule

I'm White Trash Beautiful
White Trash Beautiful (we are, we are)
I'm wicked irresistible
Sexy, unpredictable
Hot but I kick it cool
I'm White Trash Beautiful
White Trash Beautiful (we are, we are)

If you're a housewife, a movie star
When you get home at night
You kick off your shoes and tell your man to dim the lights
Your clothes on the floor behind the bedroom door
'Cause inside we all are

I'm White Trash Beautiful
White Trash Beautiful (we are, we are)
I'm wicked irresistible
Sexy, unpredictable
Hot but I kick it cool
I'm White Trash Beautiful
White Trash Beautiful (we are, we are)

Own it, wear your sexuality
Don't be afraid of it 'cause it's reality
You have it so work it, you gotta be
You know what they wanna see
It's White Trash Beautiful
White Trash Beautiful

[guitar solo]

It's just an attitude
It's just a look
I'm the exception to the rule
I'm White Trash Beautiful
White Trash Beautiful (we are, we are)
I'm wicked irresistible
Sexy, unpredictable
Hot but I kick it cool
I'm White Trash Beautiful (beautiful)
White Trash Beautiful (we are, we are)
I'm White Trash Beautiful (beautiful)
White Trash Beautiful (we are, we are)
(Beautiful) I'm White Trash Beautiful
(Beautiful) I'm White Trash Beautiful

  1. "hallow dance-pop tracks written for the catwalk"


    I didn't really know there is music specifically written for the catwalk, I thought they just used stuff that is used in the clubs. The catwalks surely aren't crying out for some of their own original music. But whateva.

  2. I don't think it's a significant market (though I know next to nothing about the fashion industry!) but WTB have been using the songs to accompany their shows.

  3. Richie's free to do whatever he wants ... but he's better than this. :-(

  5. I agree with Dante, while I don't care for the songs themselves, the only cool thing about them are the guitar solos. The solos are actually really cool and funky, and to me seem very Richie. It's the rest of the songs that aren't really him. Maybe he's just trying a new kind of music, I mean neither he nor Bon Jovi have really done club/dance music excpet maybe One Wild Night and This is our House.
