return of the bump squad!!! how good is this song?! i am just revisiting it for the first time in too long.
it rocks. 'course, i already knew that- but boy, does it rock. the squealin geetar in the chorus is the business. 'course, it's a rewrite (or re-riot) of the "eye no" melody- and i think p's used similar melody lines in other songs, can't remember em now... but seriously. it's all about the treatment, it's all about the context. "bump squad" funx. whaddya say? | |

Yeaah it sure does. I always thougt it did. If It had been a commercial release it would have been a hit. "The good Life" from Exodos would have been a major hit 2. | |

___- i think "bump squad" could've been a hit too. for me, it's one of the best prince songs of the 90s. up there in the top 20, maybe top 10 if i sat down and thought about it... it just jams. managing to sound both contemporary upon its release, *and* like a classic prince song. a trick he rarely pulled off in the 90s. a fine updating of the prince sound.. | |
