So,what do you think of Sheila E.'s song "Toy Box" ? I'm referring to the part where she proceeds to lose her mind and shouts things like...

"Bring me my diamonds!!"

"Lawd,I'm trying to tell 'ya"

"I need my diamonds and shit...I can't go to the club without my jewels!!"

"Bring me the black one...THE BLACK ONE!!!...man,come on,GOOD GAWD...whewww!!!"

"Eddie,I...Good gawd,you know....hewww!....LAWD....hewww!!"


"Where she going? I need my furs!! Tom!!"



I remember a critic once said that,on this song, "Sheila embarassed herself with second-rate Morris Day antics".But I like this song,including the crazy "tantrum" she throws near the end.

Too funny.

I like it! It's fun.

Sheila's so cute.

never heard it
but it's Sheila
so i like it
peace

In fact, this is the only part of the song that I don't.. appreciate.

Okay, she's trippin', she's "buggin' out"..
but I miss the connection..

is it that her jewels are from or part of her "toy box"?

I never really understood the connection either.The song itself is about masturbation.During the ending,she sounds almost orgasmic..."man,come on,GOOD GAWD...whewww!!"

Not sure what that's all about...lol...

bring me the black one...the blaack onnne!!! (insane laughter)

fuck the haters, Toy Box is the jam!

I love how whacked out she sounds on that part!

im scaredd of that part

Am I the only one who thinks that "Toy Box" should have been the first single from 'Romance 1600'? It's certainly a better,catchier song than "Sister Fate".

Welll, I wouldn't go that far, (Sister Fate is the jam too) but "Toy Box" is a close second! (and "Yellow" is third.) hell the whole album rocks. "Bedtime Story" is awesome.
