Nice little disco track. Diggin' on it right now.

i love this track to death--hehe, moonbeam (miss him ) pointed out sumfin about that "i'll get the music, baby, you bring the wine" lyric...ol' boy was about 18 when he did that chit. s'like, "i ain't buyin you nadaaaaa, wait till you're legal..."

i still can't believe i overlooked that!

(envisions Namepeace doin' the running man real hard in his office)

hold up--doin the running man to "just as long..."? that can actually be done?

I ain't about to show you. Envision and get your giggle on.
The running man can be done to anything uptempo. For funniest results, it must be done with optimum force and focus.

OdysseyMiles said:

omg...
mental pic of namepeace dancin on his desk to this, ala that one cat in the kit-kat commercial

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

There you go!

Love, love love this song.

The handclaps! The fingasnapz!!

Seriously, though, I love them, but you can't do them all at once. It's like snap/clap at the same time a few times, then snap, then clap...

I'm about to go play this track...wish I could play it for everybody who claims we never heard Prince's deep voice till Controversy!

WHat do you all think of the out take? I recall hearing it before the released version...and finding the released version sorta fast (when I spin it I play it slower). Also I find the song very MJ-esque. Did this come out before or after MJ started his disco thang?

WHat surprises me most is that Soft & Wet did better and this one kinda just flopped on the charts...at it's really a good song..better than S&W IMO. Any thoughts or insight as to why this may have been...disco was dying etc...maybe?

superspaceboy said:

which one? there were like a bunch of outtakes for it...

Redayh said:

Are you doin' the running man?

...sounds like a disco classic to me!!!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

WOW did not know this! The one from the work vol 1 is the one I speak of(which actually got me into the older stuff...that and your comments posted here)

I heard there is a "disco" version of this...is that a 12"

superspaceboy said:

yeah--on testament there's several versions of it, and it's interesting to hear how p kept retooling it till the finished product. and yep, there's a 12" version of this...it's the same as the album version, but it was tweaked to make it sound more disco-fied.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Yeah, the disco mix on the U.S. promo 12" is very subtle. Some instruments are buried deeper in the mix, some brought more to the front. The b-side is the disco mix of "Soft And Wet."

love this song as well -- i've heard some earlier versions, and i'm so happy he put a lot of effort into this track, because the final result is awesome, to say the least

i love this song, as well as all the dances named herein. but who's gonna do the cabbage patch?

This will always be a solid track to me. Actually,the whole album is just cool as shit. I like all the tracks I've heard from that era.

" There's is nothing that will ever overcome the love we share. "

I love the song also.....LOVE the fingasnaps!
