It was the first time Bruno performed Money Make Her Smile, it's where he had the initial composition & idea that was later developped to Uptown Funk.

FYI, Bruno & Philip Lawrence SOLELY worked on this, but they gave it to Mark Ronson (just like he was given Daffodils by Kevin Parker from Tame Impala), I assume to help him "blow up" again?

So for those claiming that this is a song written by 626595 people, it's not, it was written by Bruno & Philip, with additional help from Mark & Jeff Bhasker.

Other writing credits belong to The Gap Band because the line "Oops upside your head" is similar to "Uptown funk you up".

Just small trivia. In the light of recent "Prince/Bruno" comparaisons.

Ok.. and?

who wrote it has no bearing on the fact that it's derivative and generic.

I would've thought Bruno Mars fans would shy away from this song, not embrace it. But I guess that speaks to his audience

It's funny. When this song came up under the org radar a while back, some...nah, a LOT of orgers were loving this tune and praising it. Some were saying; "P needs to collab with Bruno!!"...or; "P and Mark Ronson should hook up"...I think Bruno is cool and talented but his music does nothing for me...and I understand that Ronson was paying tribute to the past, but I guess that song is great to a newer generation that wasn't around for P, The Time and The Gap Band.

I like the song, but I was more offended by Ronson pretending Prince wasn't an influence for that song. Or maybe he wasn't. Maybe Prince is so ingrained in the culture that he doesn't have to be a direct influence in order to be influential.

Yeah This song is good too it sounds like, and yeah I also remember everyone praising Uptown Funk here mmhmm yes lawd

I don't know.

I recall support for the song being half-n-half.

And we are suppose to pretend that Prince, Roger/Zapp, Rick James, Morris Day, & George Kranz weren't addition inspirations for Uptown Funk? Excuse you, But GTFOOHWTBS.
