12 people chose Musicology to go on their list.
do people like the song that much? personally,
i've always thought it was ok but nothing real
special at all.

eek



It would certainly be on my list



I don't know about the other 11 orgers, but I chose that song, because it is very strong and therefore included in my list. The fact it was the first single and minor hit does not temper my choice. If you listen closely theres a good funk vibe running through it and the lyrics are quite clever, thats even before you factor in a video. Its how any comeback album should be made, with a strong lead off single and then the next song ICPC not losing the momentum. As far as I am concerned I would actually put the track first on my mega album biggrin
17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince

Agreed! It is a great track it kinda reminds me of a song called Sweet Soul Music by Arthur Conley because it also does kinda the same thing givin a shout out to the old school soul soldiers (instead of funk) funnily enough also mentions James brown on that 2 even tho I consider him more Funk than Soul heres the lyrics >

Do you like good music
That sweet soul music
Just as long as it's swingin'
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Out here on the floor now
We're going to a go go
Ah dancin to the music
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Spotlight on Lou Rawls y'all
Ah don't he look tall y'all
Singin' loves a hurtin' thing now
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Spotlight on Sam and Dave now
Ah don't they look boss y'all
Singin' hold on I'm comin'
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Spotlight on Wilson Pickett
That wicked picket Pickett
Singin Mustang Sally
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Spotlight on Otis Redding now
Singing fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Spotlight on James Brown now
He's the king of them all, yeah
He's the king of them all, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Everybody's looking 4 the ladder
Everybody wants salvation of the soul
The steps U take are no easy road
But the reward is great
4 those who want 2 go
