Episode 2 Later... with Jools Holland

Good evening Britain, good evening the world. Let's welcome first from

Kansas City, the one and only Janelle Monae!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING # But I really, really want to thank

you for dancing till the end # But I need to know, if the world

says it's time to go # But I need to know, if the world

says it's time to go # You gotta laugh at the zombie in

the front yard # Take a bath, but nothing gets the

funk off # You're on TV, rocking and a

rolling # Cos the dead just love to

rock and roll # Sick and tired of food

tasting plastic # You wanna cry, but they grew up

without a real kitchen # Asking why the pain is always

equal # But the joy just never

spreads around # But I need to know, if the world

says it's time to go # But I need to know, if the world

says it's time to go # You're going crazy, the hit man

always finds you # Do that dance, smoking in

the girls' room # Kissing friends, keep a rocking

and a rolling # Cos the dead just love to

rock and roll # So freaked out, worried about the

bomb threats # Bought a house, but I'm allergic

to the house pets # Credit card, you're working

and a bobbing # Just to make enough to pay your

rent # But I need to know, if the world

says it's time to go # But I need to know, if the world

says it's time to go We love Janelle Monae! Tonight we

have on the show live, the Chvrches and Janelle we love you! We have

Tony Joe White, we have Hugh Laurie. We have Chvrches over there. Now

from Boston, Pixies! # Fatty had it made like a blade in

the sun # Like a push in the bush when you

got none # I'm a fatty in my caddy with my

'ponic blunt # Cosy as a manger Chet Baker in the

changer # Make some room

# # What goes boom # # Grace in her lace and her

stocking # She likes to get rocking

# Grace, are we going to get rocking # Make some room

# What goes boom #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING I am delighted to say in this room

the Pickies! Now let's move over to this corner

and welcome a new group from Glasgow, we welcome Chvrches.

# Never took your side, never cursed your name

# I keep my lips shut tight, until you go

# We've come as far, as we're ever gonna get

# Until you realize, that you should go

# I'm in misery where you can seem as old as your omens

# And the mother we share will never keep your proud head from falling

# The way is long but you can make it easy on me

# And the mother we share will never keep our cold hearts from calling

# In the dead of night, I'm the only one here

# We're the only ones left # It's

# We're the only ones left keep your proud head from falling

# We're the only ones left keep our cold from falling

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING The Mother We Share, Chvrches.

Beautiful to have you in the room. Now we welcome back a man who is a

true sensation, we welcome Hugh Laurie.

How lovely to see you back in this room. You have this fantastic new

record out. For this one, the last record was a huge success. It sold

millions of copies all over the world and people loved it. Did you

have what a lot of artists go through, which is second album

syndrome where the first one was such a rush and excitement and to

get to the second one it was very difficult? Uh, no. We don't have a

lot of time, but no. I didn't write any of these songs. These are songs

from 100 years ago and they're like grains of sand on a beach. There's

so many beautiful songs that exist, that who needs more songs from me?

No one needs a song from me. The last one was fantastic because you

introduced a lot of people who might not have known about it to wonderful

New Orleans music and on this you have stretched it from there and

gone to... Cast our net wider. You have gone to the blues, to gospel

music and Argentinaen music. In fact, the oldest I think Argentinaen

tango on there. That element of New Orleans music, that Spanish, Cuban

feel is such a beautiful part of that music. Yes As anything. But it

is very sexy. Now, this record has - we have a bit of a clip. Shall we

enjoy a clip? I don't know about enjoy. We can watch it. I am going

to enjoy it. Are you? Yes! You are very kind, thank you.

# Unchain my heart # Baby let me go

# Unchain my heart # You don't love me no more

# Every time I call you on the phone # Some fella tells me that you're

not home # So unchain my heart and set me

free APPLAUSE

Yes. Did you have that piano made? That's not a tiny piano, I became

enormous for that photograph. It's a success, I think. This record you

have gone to the world of the blues. Going to the world of music, is it

easier the world of music than being Going to the world of music, is it

in the world of acting, or harder? Well, nothing is easy or hard - it

all depends how much you care about the result. Brain surgery is easy if

you don't care, if the fella dies. It's actually... Have you tried

that? I haven't. On myself, but not on another person. Good. I find it

incredibly difficult, thrillingly difficult, and wonderfully

excitingly - it's the best. You do it very well. Well, you are very

kind. We should play something. You talk about old music. Let's play

music from 1916. You are driving. OK, we will start then.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Wait a moment! Wait a minute! We

have 30 seconds left and we are live, hang on, 15 seconds. F. G.

C! live, hang on, 15 seconds. F. G.

Five seconds. That's it. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Hugh Laurie and a number of beautiful chords.

Now we welcome from Boston, Barrence Whitfield.

And the Savages. # I show you what you are doing

wrong # Yes I can

# I teach you how to go the distance # Long before

# Before you are on the ropes again # I am the greatest

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Live tonight, Barrence Whitfield and

The Savages. They've all done his songs, he has a new record out of

his own, we welcome Tony Joe White. Some problem here boys. There is

obviously a minor technical problem, this is one of the advantages ap

disvan - and disadvantages of live television. I think the guitar is

now fully operational. Are you OK? We will continue. Tony Joe White!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING # Coffee skim, little bit of cream

# Goldeneyes with a touch of green # High-cheeked bones

# Kind of tall # You won't think twice if you think

at all # She like a panther on the prowl

# Who you gonna # Hoodoo now

# Had a residence # I knew she had a sweet tooth, I

bought her some # Like to stay out raten

-- out late # Dance all night long

# She would only make love at the break of dawn

# Took me up so high I can't look down

# Who you gonna hoodoo now # I checked it out

# With a fine toothcomb # Heard about a place

# St Francis # Rehabilitation to cure your ills

# But I don't think it could help me any how

# Who you gonna hoodoo now # Who you gonna hoodoo

# I can't believe all of the things they say about me

# Walk in the room they throwing shade left to right

# They be like, "Ooh, she's serving face"

# And I just tell 'em cut me up and get down

# They call us dirty cos we break all your rules down

# And we just came to act a fool, is that all right?

# They be like, "Ooh, let them eat cake"

# But we eat wings and throw them bones on the ground

# Is it peculiar that she twerk in the mirror?

# And am I weird to dance alone late at night?

# Hey, sister, am I good enough for your heaven?

# Say will your God accept me in my black and white?

# Or should I reprogramme deprogramme and get down?

# I wonder will this be my final act tonight

# Don't mean to sing so tough I can't take it no more

# Baby, me and tuxedo crew, pharaohs it ain't my tomb

# Crazy in the black and white, we got the drums so tight

# Baby, here comes the freedom song too strong we moving on

# Baby, this melody will show you another way

# Been 'droids for far too long - come home and sing your song

# No, no, the booty don't lie, oh no the booty don't lie. #

She who writes the movie owns the script and the sequel

So why ain't the stealing of my rights made illegal?

They keep us underground working hard for the greedy

But when it's time pay they turn around and call us needy

My crown too heavy like the Queen Nefertiti

Gimme back my pyramid, I'm trying to free Kansas City

Mixing masterminds like your name Bernie Grundman

Well, I'mma keep leading like a young Harriet Tubman

You can take my wings but I'm still goin' fly

And even when you edit me the booty don't lie

Yeah, keep singing, I'mma keep writing songs

I' m tired of Marvin asking me "What's Going On?"

March to the streets cos I'm willing and I'm able

And while you're selling dope we're gonna keep selling hope

We rising up now, you gotta deal you gotta cope

Electric ladies, will you sleep or will you preach?

Thank you Janelle Monae. Thank you to our guests, Barrence Whitfield,

thank you for joining us, Hugh Laurie, thank you Chvrches. Who was

your favourite group tonight? I thought you were particularly good.

Thank you. Thanks to Tony Joe White. Would you look after Tony for a

moment. Thank you. Now let's finish with Pixies!
