My Prince-influenced track "Retro Baby"

A song of mine that I wrote some time ago called "Retro Baby"

http://soundcloud.com/taz...remastered

I like them shoes you wearin'
I like that neon top
I like them skinny jeans
because they make you look hot

I like this pink pullover
the glitter in your hair
the flavor of your lipstick
I wanna kiss you there

The style of your hair
I love the jheri curl
the triangles and circles
and all the shining pearls

I love the way you dancin'
ooh I just adore
the way you rub your @$$ on me
when we are on the floor

(BRIDGE)
You got it in your blood
you got it in your genes
you perfectly fit
in any kinda scene

My retro baby
My retro baby
My retro baby
My retro baby

I really like your make up
you sure look good to me
well, if you want it that much
you can put up some on me

I like them sweat bands
I like your tight pants
let me be your genie
your wish is my command

(BRIDGE)
Bottom, top, back or front
I really don't care
the bed, the floor, the stairs
and even my electric chair

My retro baby
My retro baby
My retro baby
My retro baby

(BRIDGE)
Baby just come closer
I know the time is right
you want me and I want you
so why the hell we fight?
Temperature is rising
why you do this to me girl?
all I wanna do is come

into your 80s world my retro baby

May you rest in peace, my beautiful queen, Teena Marie rose

very prince influenced, like a vanity album track but with male vocals. basically a rapped type verse with a short chorus(like squeeze/jill jones) with a lou reed delivery. the best bit is the keyboard riff. there are not enough dynamics to match your vocals in the middle bits. your vocals sound like you are restrained, half talking/singing. they also need editing to weed out the bad notes.

first of all thanks for taking your time, really appreciate it smile

I penned down and finished that thing in 15 minutes.. lyrics and

music.. so it's nothing special to me.. I didn't put in much time to

maybe work it over.. edit it or even work on it (meaning adding on

stuff or something).. that talk/singing was planned.. bad notes

were not planned, I just didn't concentrate while singing lol

I can do better but I don't know if that track is worth it confused
