"'For Goodness Sakes, Look at Those Cakes'" is a song written and performed by James Brown. Released as an edited two-part single in 1978, it charted #52 R&B in 1979.White, Cliff (1991). "Discography". In 'Star Time' (pp. 5459) [CD booklet]. New York: PolyGram Records. A full-length version appears on the album 'Take a Look at Those Cakes'. Brown talks loudly and clearly in rhyme without only brief singing involved, this track being in part a precursor to the hip hop style which was yet to mount on record in a few years time. Robert Christgau described the song as "a great throwaway--an eleven-minute rumination on ass-watching, including genuinely tasteless suggestions that Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder join the fun."
