Musically, Dead On It is on point. That rhythm guitar is some of the funkiest stuff he's ever done. It's too bad that the lyrics don't hold up their end of the bargain. Sure, there are some funny lines, but overall it's a bit of a throwaway. Oh well. I'm sure enjoying the heck out of the funk though.

Yes indeedy it's a fun one, love that whole album

Dead On It and Dance On, I have always loved for the off beat complexity

the guitar riffs and sparse bass hits

Misheard lyric: My nickname's Health Spa

Correct lyric: My nickname's Hell's-a-Poppin'

Always loved the hell outta this track.

"Shall we go back? Let's go..."

Back in the day, I used to think that line was "Nick Rhodes from Brooklyn play the bass very good" and remember thinking, "Nick Rhodes plays keyboards, and he's from England!"

I have always considered that line a tip of the hat to Bernard Edwards.

I love that this track is getting some appreciation. It's some straight up bassy funk.

Great track!

I laughed way too hard at this.

IDK, NY was the world's capital city of hip-hop in 86 (hell! was there even hip-hop anywhere else at the time?) so I think this was just that.
