When Doves Cry vs Thieves in the Temple

Opinions?

I love the version of Thieves in the Graffiti Bridge movie. The bit I can't get enough of is the dance routine P does to the song - the bit where he jumps to the right, shakes (maraccas in the background), jumps to the left, shakes, then lies down on the floor, then the song kind of stutters, then P does the reverse splits upwards.

It is such an awesome dance sequence - one of his best I think (along with Housequake in the SOTT movie).

Is the 12" version of Thieves have this segment with the maraccas interval and the stutter? I NEED that version!

Mash up?

Congratulations !
You won the dumbest thread of the year competition.

When Doves is perfection. Don't get me wrong I love thieves, but it ain't got shit on WDC.

Oh come on. It's not like I asked "Adore vs Jughead"

Now that would've been the dumbest thread of all time.

I think there is scope for genuine difference of opinion here....isn't there?

I love them both but WDC leaves Thieves in the dirt

Thieves doesn't even come close.

For me it is WDC. However, I agree that Thieves is kicking having only just watched it again recently. It's got great dancing and those legging things he's wearing - what's not to love?

When Doves Cry wins this one hands down. Its lightyears away from Thieves. I still love Thieves but WDC is on another level.

thieves, but it must be the extended version.


Never cared for "when doves cry". Main problem being the lenth of the song. Too long.

Definitely When Doves Cry!

for me: BOTH!

When Doves Cry is a classic deserving respect, but Thieves in the Temple is a personal favorite (mmm...extended version )
