I have 5 dated 1986 and 3 from 1989 along with the GB version. I am missing the original "We can fuck" from 1983 though.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

So are you saying that the original title of the song was 'We Can Fuck', and that the oldest recording of it is from 1983?

I have acquired some unreleased versions of 'We Can Funk' since I made the original post.

I think that I have this version, mine is 3 minutes and 16 seconds long, it has prominent female backup vocals, it is great except that it has poor sound quality.

I don't know when it was recorded.

Is it the 'We Can Fuck' version or should I keep looking?

I think that's it.

Have you found the 86 (no cup pissing) version, approx 5.30 long? It's great quality and best version IMO
