Street art is art, specifically visual art, developed in public spaces — that is, "in the streets" — though the term usually refers to unsanctioned art, as opposed to government sponsored initiatives. The term can include traditional graffiti artwork, sculpture, stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheatpasting and street poster art, video projection, art intervention, guerrilla art, and street installations. Typically, the term street art or the more specific post-graffiti is used to distinguish contemporary public-space artwork from territorial graffiti, vandalism, and corporate art.
Artists have challenged art by situating it in non-art contexts. ‘Street’ artists do not aspire to change the definition of an artwork, but rather to question the existing environment with its own language. They attempt to have their work communicate with everyday people about socially relevant themes in ways that are informed by esthetic values without being imprisoned by them.John Fekner defines street art as “all art on the street that’s not graffiti.”
There she is again steppin' out of her limousine, well
Looking like the cover of a twenty-dollar magazine
She's got it where you find it, if you know what I mean
She's a natural born woman
A natural born woman
She's a natural born woman
There she is again watch her stop the Main Street in it's tracks
Looking like Creole queen, hair hangin' down her back
I say, don't look too long, boy, she'll make your glasses crack
She's a natural born woman
A natural born woman
Natural born woman
Get your track
Yeah, natural born woman
Yeah, yeah...
Natural born woman
Yeah, yeah...
She's a natural born woman
Well, I'm sweatin' and I'm shakin' when I'm bringin' you the news
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes
That's why I'm standin' here today preachin' natural born woman blues
Well, she's a natural born woman
Well, yeah, natural born woman
Well, yeah, natural born woman
Well, I'm looking out my back door wonderin' which place to go
Think I'll move on down to Memphis, pay my money to see a rock 'n' roll show
Find me a sweet-heart Susie, together we can lose control
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
She's a natural born woman
Yeah, yeah, natural born woman
Yeah, natural born woman
Yeah, ooh
All right
