Uh Huh appreciation.

Great bootleg, great song, too bad Prince had to fuck it up and sell it to Pepsi. Release this bitch, Prince, nowwwww.

Know when it's right
U know when U feel it, baby
U hold it, U hear it, U touch it, it's right
Everybody know who's U, who's U
When it's real soul
Ain't no way 2 fight it

Sing it girls
(Uh-huh!) {repeat in song}
Ah yeah
Yeah, yeah

When I was a little itty bitty baby
Yo, cookin' in the belly, wasn't even born
The way my mama tell it, drove that woman crazy
Every time I hear the music, I start kickin' on the 2 and 4, oh!

Uh-huh! - U got the right one, baby
Uh-huh! - U got the one U need
Uh-huh! - U got the right one, baby
Uh-huh! - cuz it's the one it's got 2 be

Remember now, when I was just a little boy of 7
Preacher man, Sunday mornin' talk about heaven and hell
"Hey brother, if U don't believe and change your evil ways
The rain gonna come, there won't be nowhere 2 run
Nobody 2 tell ya?

Uh-huh! - U got the right one, baby
Uh-huh! - U got the one U need
Uh-huh! - U got the right one, baby
Uh-huh! ?it's the one it got 2 be, alright

Hey now pretty sweet thing, tell me where U got that walk
I feel it when U hold my hand, U got these old knees just-a-knockin'
When, when U give me that kiss, fill me through and through, huh
I don't know where U got it, girl, but don't U dare stop doin' what U do

Uh-huh! - U got the right one, baby
Uh-huh! - U got the one U need
Uh-huh! - yeah, U got the right one, baby
Uh-huh! - cuz it's the one it's got 2 be

If I already ain't change your mind, tell U one more story
Only a man that's truly blind can't see the glory
Think about what U're doin' here, think about what U say
If U shine the light on your brother when he's lost his way
Then guess what?

Uh-huh! - U got the right one, baby
Uh-huh! - U got the one U need
Uh-huh! - U got the right one, baby
This irrepressible lover boy can not misjudge one another
Let me suppose U got the right one, baby

One more, one more

horns dancing jig woot!
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

Chronologically speaking...

***Prince offers to Ray Charles

***Ray says Fuck Off Prince...(paraphrasing)

***Pepsi offers Ray a contract to sing a jingle

***Ray says, sure, and I think I know just the song...

***Pepsi offers to buy the song from Prince

***$$$
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Prince didn't actually write the song, in a thread a long time ago it was discovered his version just builds on an existing jingle written by someone else.

ASCAP Title Code 510092625 Uh-huh {Prince}

ASCAP Title Code 570059255 You Got The Right One Baby-Diet Pepsi {Peter Cofield and Alfred Merrin}

From that thread:

please allow me to set the record straight...My name is Peter Cofield
and I composed the uh huh song for diet pepsi in 1990...I wrote the tune and
collborated on the lyrics with Al Merrin who worked for the agency involved..
Prince heard the tune with Ray singing it and then decided to his own"real"
song...any ordinary google search would substantiate this ..or any inquiry to
pepsico inc...thanks Peter
