Good Lord, How Good Is "Cookie Jar"?

It's so great when you put iTunes on random and a song you haven't heard for a long time comes on. Case in point: "Cookie Jar." Damn, what an awesome song.

"I don't know what he'll do witcha when he getcha
Put U in his cookie jar, save U 4 a rainy day"

The original tune is on Fuzzy Haskins ( from Parliament/Funkadelic) solo lp Radioactive. Then is was also on Parlet's lp Pleasure Principle. Prince's version is hot too.

Actually, it goes back in the early 70's when Funkadelic chanted the phrase on a Maceo Parker tune Southwick at a 72 Sugar Shack concert.
Bootsy had just joined them guitar

Never heard Prince's version tho' hmmm

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Prince freaked up the song and turned it into something more substantial than the Parlet jam.
He gave it structure; adding verses, turning it onto something religious. In short; he made it entirely his own. If you know the originial, the Prince version is not so much a cover, but more of an entire re-working.

I mean, the Parlet version is just scants and the repeated chorus, this is Prince's text, as lifted from DDT lyrics;

Another life goes 2 the winner
Another soul goes 2 the dream
Another hell goes 2 the sinner
Don't give up no matter how tough it seems

Come and dig the power of somethin' above ya
It was there all along cuz it was made 2 love ya
It gave your flowers rain
Even though U won't play His game
U push it away but still it's pullin' 4 ya (I don't know)

CHORUS:
I don't know what He'll do witcha when He getcha
Put U in His cookie jar, save U 4 a rainy day
I don't know what He'll do witcha when He getcha
Put U in His cookie jar, save U 4 a rainy day

He might need U on the Eve Of Destruction
2 co-sign His order on that Judgment Day
Shout His name from the highest hill
The bigger the headache, the bigger the pill
Every purple mutha need 2 look His way
The funk is here 2 stay

CHORUS
(I don't know)

Another life goes 2 the winner
Another soul goes 2 the dream
Another hell goes 2 the sinner
Don't give up no matter how tough it seems

All in all, we got 2 come 2gether
And make a world that's 7 light-years better
Come on, don't be shy
So they're laughin' high
It's waiting 4 those who can storm the weather
Hey!

I don't know what He'll do witcha when He getcha

I don't know what He'll do witcha when He getcha
Put U in His cookie jar, save U 4 a rainy day (Save ya, save ya)

I say I don't know

(CHORUS)
Save ya, baby
Oh no, yeah
(CHORUS)
I... I... I... oh I
Save, save, save me baby

I... I...
I... I... I don't know what He'll do witcha
I... I...
I... I... I... I... I don't know what He'll do witcha when He getcha
Put U in His cookie jar, save U 4 a rainy day
Baby

I...
Save me now, baby, no!
(CHORUS)
Baby

CHORUS
(Save me baby, save me baby)

I don't know what He'll do witcha when He getcha {x2}
(I don't know, I.. I..)
I don't know what He'll do witcha when He getcha
Put U in His cookie jar, save U 4 a rainy day {fade out}

Yeah, the only resemblance this has to the Parlet version is the Title. Prince's cookie Jar is so supremely superior to the fluffest that Parlet released lol
