Street art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. The term gained popularity during the graffiti art boom of the early 1980s and continues to be applied to subsequent incarnations. Stencil graffiti, wheatpasted poster art or sticker art, and street installation or sculpture are common forms of modern street art. Video projection, yarn bombing and Lock On sculpture became popularized at the turn of the 21st century.
The terms "urban art", "guerrilla art", "post-graffiti" and "neo-graffiti" are also sometimes used when referring to artwork created in these contexts. Traditional spray-painted graffiti artwork itself is often included in this category, excluding territorial graffiti or pure vandalism.
Street art is often motivated by a preference on the part of the artist to communicate directly with the public at large, free from perceived confines of the formal art world. Street artists sometimes present socially relevant content infused with esthetic value, to attract attention to a cause or as a form of "art provocation".
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
