Does anybody remember this song? It might not be familiar to everyone, since it was released through the NPG Music Club, and was part of one of the audio shows. I loooove this song, been listening to it in repetition over here, singing along, and probably traumatizing my cats.


Jukebox With A Heartbeat

Do the people even know what they want if they never hear what they need? {x4}

Jukebox with a heartbeat
Jukebox
Jukebox with a heartbeat
Jukebox

Who got the brand new hip in Los Angeles?
Guess what? (Yeah)
Guess what? (Yeah)
It ain't me, (uh) Uhn-uh
Who tried 2 make me pay big money 4 the frequency?
Guess what? (Yeah)
Uh, I ain't giving up fees
Not me, 2 know

CHORUS:
Jukebox with a heartbeat
Trying 2 run a game on me
Jukebox with a heartbeat
If it's popular, it ain't free
Jukebox with a heartbeat
Tune it all out, we'll see
Do the people even know what they want if they never hear what they need?

Who got a brand new jeep?
Cadillac chrome in gold
Guess what?
It's kinda right, oh yeah (Yeah)
Who said I don't fit the format no matter how many I sold?
U know what? (Uh!)
Ain't no need 2 fight, I ain't tight with no...

CHORUS
(No)
(Trying 2 run a game on me)
(Hey)
(Oh oh oh)
(Hey)
(Tune it all out)
(Yeah)

Why U giving people what they want when U oughta give 'em what they need? {x3}
Why U give the people what they want when U oughta give them/em what they need?

Yeah
U are listening 2 WNPG (Juke-juke-juke...)
Suckers
Jukebox with a heartbeat

Now, who got a new guitar?
Who called it rock and roll? (Who-dee-who?)
Don't matter, (it don't matter) don't matter - turn it up

Jukebox with a
Juke-juke-juke
Jukebox
Juke-juke-juke-juke

U are just a jukebox with a heartbeat
Hey, if it's good 4 New York City
Jukebox with a heartbeat {repeat}
Hey, doesn't make it good 4 me
Hey hey, oh no
If it's good 4 love, sing it along with me
Yes, why U put it on my frequency? (Yeah)
Trying 2 run a game on me
When I'm in the Twin Cities
Jukebox, jukebox...
We're here, we livin' in the Twin Cities
Hey-ay-ay
Trying 2 run a game on me

Why U giving people what they want when U oughta give them what they need? {x4}

CHORUS

Why U giving people what they want when U oughta give them what they need?


I love how Prince stutters in this song "Juke-juke-juke".

i love this track. so catchy and old school. between this and "props and pounds" i'm wondering if prince was planning an "old school" album featuring the linn.

Remember all them The Npg audio shows....
I miss them days...

mplsmike said:

Yeah, me too.

psychodelicide said:

Aren't we all?

L4OATheOriginal said:

Do the people even know what they want, if they never hear what they need? Makes perfect sense to me...

OK, I think I need to revisit my NPG Ahdio shows because I don't remember this at all!

OK, I just found the right show, November 2001 edition. Guess I'll be checking that out tonight.

I miss those NPG Ahdio shows, too. Dag.
(Pours some water on the earth for the ahdio shows).

Remember the one with the extended killer solo on "The Work, Part I''?
And, remember the cool skit about the model/actress or something being asked to pose nude and the story she was told.
And the other unreleased songs that I never figured out who they are but they were good ...
(Sighs)

Is the first line a joke or something?

"Who got the HIP in Los Angeles, guess what it aint me!"???

i think its "who got the brand new HIT"

piepie1976 said:

I think it is "hit" instead of "hip". The site that I copied it from has a typo.

psychodelicide said:

truly cause i'm still thinking about what he said on jay leno doing musicology. "this will b the last time i do the hits" .. the london set lists so much 4 the last time mr contridiction ..

hey that would b a follow up song 2 dear mr. man
