Subject: RESPECT--help!

Written By: nobodyspecial on 09/08/02 at 08:16 a.m.

Somebody please help me out here--

There's a lyric in Aretha Franklin's "RESPECT" that's commonly misheard as "Take out the TCP" or "Take care, TCB," (which is what's printed on this website). However, I could have sworn that the correct lyric was "Take care of pleasing me," which actually makes sense. I just looked up a ton of Aretha-related websites, and they all have either the "TCP" or "TCB" lyric listed. So what's right? And what would "TCP" or "TCB" even mean??

I've always thought it was "TCB," which means "takin' care of business."

The lyric is Taking Care TCB, standing for Taking Care Of Business. I think I answered this one thread previous.

Surely you've heard of TCP, I'm sure it's not that old
As for what it stands for, I think I was told once in chemistry and I have a good memory for useless information  ;D

I meant what it stood for! I'm not an idiot you know!!!  :P
I remember more useless things like "S" being the 8th most used letter in the alphabet!

Isn't that a bit tautologous?  "Taking Care Taking Care of Business".... ah well

you think you have a good memory for useless information...I was the captain of my high schools trivia team for two yers, and we were nearly undefeated! ;)
