Brick House

Brick House is a well known oldie by "The Commodores". Nazeem Allayl took it on to interpret the timeless lyrics (i.e. How can she lose with what she use, see below) by using a stunning costume that highlights the curves and combines belly dance with the Amazon look the song calls for.

Definitely an American Fantasy piece with little resemblance to classical Egyptian dance, it is a great hit with American audiences.

Lyrics:

She's a brick----house
Mighty might just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick----house
The lady's stacked and that's a fact,
ain't holding nothing back.

She's a brick----house
She's the one, the only one,
who's built like a amazon [pronounced am-a-ka-zawn]
We're together everybody knows,
and here's how the story goes.

1. She knows she got everything
a woman needs to get a man, yeah.
How can she lose with what she use
36-24-36, what a winning hand!

Chorus

2. The clothes she wears, the sexy ways,
make an old man wish for younger days
She knows she's built and knows how to please
Sure enough to knock a man to his knees

Chorus

Bridge

Shake it down, shake it down now (repeat)
