Brick House (song)

Brick House (song)

"Brick House" is a funk/disco song from Commodores' 1977 album "Commodores" and is one of their most popular songs. It peaked at #5 in the U.S. and #32 in the U.K. A brick house is slang for a voluptuous woman. The song describes the benefits of being a "brick house" and the narrator's affection for this particular woman. It was later remade by Rob Zombie, Lionel Richie (of Commodores), and Trina, entitled "Brick House 2003" for release on the soundtrack of Zombie's movie, "House of 1000 Corpses", and later, Zombie's "Past, Present & Future" compilation album.

In pop culture

The song was featured as the opening musical number in the films "Muppets from Space". The song was also the wrestlers' Aaron Stevens, Beth Phoenix, and Shelly Martinez entrance theme while in Ohio Valley Wrestling. The song was also featured in an episode of the "George Lopez" show in which The Commodores (excluding Lionel Richie) make a guest appearance. In the episode the main protagonist (George Lopez as himself)'s mother Bennie Lopez's ex-boyfriend puts their relationship in jeopardy when he abandons her for 40 days of solitude after his ex-girlfriend attempts to take him back. He attempts to win back Bennie's affection by inviting The Commodores to play a song, Bennie incorrectly guesses the song will be "Three Times a Lady" commenting "You really think you'll win me back with 'Three Times a Lady'?" but instead they begin to perform "Brick House", which coincidently describes Bennie's personality. It was also utilized on an episode of "Scrubs".

The song was featured in the game Karaoke Revolution Party. Country-Soul singer Clarence Carter also made his own rendition of the song.
