Boring????? Everyone has there own taste... It's a jam...It's not an 'Adore' but man when he sings it live....it's on point.

To me it is boring

I got that from your first posting.

prime said:

One of Princes best slow jams, close to his peak, not like some of the (very good) overproduced stuff he has put out the last few years. Not only that, one of his best falsetto performances ever. The album wouldn't be the same for me without it. Not his best album but Do Me is a pillar of it for sure.

3 pages say a lot of people care.

Don't click the link again if it's so boring, try and resist, I double dare you!

I know the name of the song. It is not like you have not mentioned it a 101 times on this board. In addition, who stole it is important since you have brought this issue up many times and that is the whole controversy surrounding the tune. Was it Andre's or Prince's ? We know it may not have been an original song by either of them.

"Thinking P's "above" this"

Nobody thinks that. People are a little doubtful because Andre did not sue.
I think we all know P is human and it is obvious that P and Andre have some sort of bond but that had beefs to just like all friends.

It also does not help that a section of the song sounds like the Eddie Hazel song. So it then looks like Andre ripped off Eddie Hazel.

You don't know what people think and you certainly shouldn't speak for others. In past topics about this very issue on this very site, there were posts made by other orgers who actually used the phrase "I think Prince is above doing this." That's the very reason I stated that. And the topic wasn't about the music sounding like "the Eddie Hazel song". Hell, you don't even know the name of the song by Eddie Hazel..You're so busy trying to speak for everybody when you need to go ask somebody what the name of the song is...Damn.. The topic is about did people think P took Do Me Baby from Andre. Not does people think Andre lifted from "Frantic Mirror" by Eddie Hazel.
-----
I am not speaking for others and I read the topics on this board enough to know the general thought on this topic,

Read below.

"The topic is about "do people think P took Do Me Baby from Andre. "

Gee if that is the topic then it stands to reason that someone is going to bring up the fact that the topic is moot since Andre stole the song from Eddie Hazel.

I expanded on the topic if you don't like the expansion do not bother to read it. It is really simple solution to your problem.

I'm going to respond when u choose to respond to a simple statement that I made with some petty type post. If u indeed want to "expand" on a topic, which you NEVER do, then expand on the topic with your own comment and stop piggybacking on somebody's else statement.. That's what u ALWAYS do. You're the most non-original orger on here. You never just post a statement on your own. You always have to attach your shit to somebody else's statement. Hell, ANYBODY can do that. You do it to everybody. And what's worse is that your shit is always hateful, spiteful and VERY envious filled sounding. Why don't you stand on your own two feet and post something of your own.

piggybacking on somebody's else statement

Maybe you need to go and take a look at the stuff I do post.
In addtion, I think we are free to add to topics on this board without getting your permission. You really need to get over yourself.

"always hateful, spiteful and VERY envious filled sounding. Why don't you stand on your own two feet and post something of your own."

There is nothing hateful or spiteful about anything I posted on this topic.
For whatever reason you do not think that the mentioning that Andre ripped "Do Me Baby" off from Eddie Hazel is important.

Fine you are free to have your opinion and I disagree nothing hateful about it.
You need to learn to respect other people's viewpoints and chill the hell out.
You do not own this board or control the content.

Oh, I respect OTHER folks opinions..I just don't respect yours. There is a reason why everybody you come in contact with, ends up into some bullshit with you. You know why? Because that's ALL you ever bring to ANY topic. Is bullshit. It's not just me. Everytime you post. And it's ALWAYS been that way with you, i.e. hateful, spiteful and hella resentful. It's all over EVERYTHING you post. All the time. And if you have to be that way, then damn, again, stop joyriding off of everybody else's thing and bring something to a topic that's worth while for a change. And that's all your own. Instead of sitting around waiting to find something to nitpick on. Like I said, ANYBODY can do that.

I enjoy reading all of your opinions...I personally think the song is frightening.

I'd rather listen to something else.

frightening? Annie Christian scared the shit out of me when I was a kid but not do me baby, those were the kinds of songs that had everyone calling gay.

Did U hear him sing it on Oprah? It was nice! Everyone has their own opinion. I think the newer version (live, etc.) are better then the earlier version.

"I just don't respect yours"

Fine it is a free world but, don't expect me to be fearful of disagreeing
with you or anyone else on this board.

I am sure I will bring up Andre ripping this song from Eddie Hazel again so be prepared to avert your eyes. (LOL)

Just guys think this song is gay and I do not think he put the song on the record for the guys.

I guess Do Me baby could be an Andre Cymone song. I do not recall any other Prince songs sounding similar to the song, so maybe it is not entirely his own.

The singing, the seduction, the screaming, the emotion is all Prince and what really make the song come alive.

I doubt that Andre could match that.

If anything they may have struck a deal, a gentleman's agreement.

Prince keeps "Do Me Baby", and Andre got "The Dance Electric".

I think Andre got the better end of the deal.

It's on the B Side of "The Dance Electric" 45.
