We can Funk

I could say I'm sorry all of my life, but that wouldn't be true.

I only say and do the things that I do 'cause I'm not you.

Best lyric evar!!!!! razz

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.

That's not a Prince lyric, so it doesn't count. But yeah, this jam is awesome. The "Rewrite the Kamasutra with half as many words" part is also good.

Oh for funk's sake! George Clinton had been saying stuff like that for years!

The "Testin' Positive" line is definitely a GC contribution to the song.

Great song. And I love that George Clinton added a little P-Funk flavor to the song with that lyric.

Let's see if it's true

Love it. That groove just gets in your mind and you can tune out from tuning in. Exodus maybe his most PFunkesq tune ever but "We can funk" ranks.

Everyone didn't notice GB at the time but some of his best songs ever - "question of u" and "joy in repetition" at least all-time fan favorites.
What are you outraged about today? CNN has not told you yet?

The '86 version is my favorite; not really feeling the GB version (which, from what I hear, is built on the '82 version).
