It just so happens tthat I have that video somewhere in my collection and I still have that tape havent played them in a long time though.

I can't find "The Walk" video. I have only seen it on a Snoop Dogg countdown as his 16th favorite video of all time.

i think that video might still be on youtube.

It's just nice to see instruments in a video.

My second favorite song off of that album.

This tune has a heavy Bootsy influence. I thought he had something to do with it when I first heard it.

Bootsy Collins? The Time's "Ice Cream Castles" sounds like it was cut on the same board with Prince's "17 Days."

how is posting a video... bad... and what are the legal reasons...

TotalAlisa said:

Since Camp Prince are kinda strict about these kind of things and videos on youtube are mostly in violation of copyright laws, it is kinda 'bad'. Anyway, I didn't make up the rules, sweetie, I just copy pasted them off the top of the forum. Sort of a heads-up, yanno?

TotalAlisa said:

BTW, you have to say what makes this video funny.

On the real, y'all! Is there anyone cooler than Mr. Morris E. Day?

Najee said:

HE says... "you are white... i am of color..." LOLOLOLOLOL that was the funny part...
he said he is of color... how funny is that

TotalAlisa said:

um not to damper things but saying someone is of color is a common spoken term. i don't think Morris meant it as a joke, moreso you are white, i am of color, lets get it together no matter what anyone thinks.

Morris´face is sayin: I´m leaving this band!

I HOPE HE DIDN'T HIT ANYONE WITH THAT CANE WHEN HE THREW IT!!!! LOL!!!!!

I love this Song!! The video (Like most videos in 1984) looked like it cost $1000.00 to make. Is it true that Jesse Johnson said the girl extras were ugly?

woogiebear said:

thats the exact same thing i was thinking...

ThePunisher said:

Whaaaat?! Damn.. Anyway, I ran a thread on here about the lyrics to this song, about black and white love. Always thought it was funny that P gave the song to The Time. The lyrics doesn't fit Morris for some reason. Always dug this line

It's raining, mad sisters, why can't they realize
that it won't be long

Prince, if he had kept this one for himself, he would have caught hell from black girls. I can see why he was like "Hmmm, ...here Morris, u do it."

I remember when James Mtume was on Video Soul years ago. He called the Time out for those lyrics. James was pissed! He felt that the words were very disrespectful to Black Women. He kept asking Donnie Simpson "What Do those Lyrics Mean" Donnie looked very uncomfortable. I believe it was because he was good friends with the band, Particularily with Jimmy and Terry. Prince should'nt have been scared to do that song. Quite a few of his songs up to that point had been just as controversial.

ThePunisher said:

lyrics are real words that have meaning.. and at first i didn't understand that line... i thought when they said "mad" it mean a lot.. so i thought they meant it was raining a whole bunch of women... just like that song.. "its raining men"... but after a while i thought it meant angry black women... so i didn't know how to interpret it...
but i don't understand why black guys.. try to make black females upset...

TotalAlisa said:

I'm going to be very honest. The ONLY Black females that this song should've upset are the ones who have a problem with brothers dating white women, Or any women out of their race. But the thing is, The song is NOT saying that White Women are better then Sisters, Or visa versa. It's just saying that everyone has a right to date or fall in love with anyone, regardless of race.

ThePunisher said:

why would they even mention that Black women would be mad... if your happy in your life.. why would you take pleasure out of seeing angry people... or even mentioning them... ?????

I think what he meant was to instigate... the song sound almost as if it was a joke... and to make or upset someone... and I don't even like when people try to instigate... even though.. I don't care who dates who... or other stupid things... just the fact that someone would try to instigate and irritate me on any subject... makes me angry

TotalAlisa said:

P was simply talking about how some black women show their distaste when they see a brother with a white girl. I've experienced this many times so I know where P is coming from. He's not showing happiness or pleasure in seeing sisters mad. It's such a trip that I know this black girl who all she dates is white dudes. BUT, she STILL gets angry when she sees a brother with a non black woman. Now that shit's deep.
