Housequake on the Ritcher Scale

You know that song, Housequake?

I was just wondering.
If that was measured on the Ritcher Scale like a regular earthquake, how do you think it would register?

1.0 as in non-existent or 10.0 as a party so funky that it makes the earth shake all over the place?

I'd say its at least a 8.8 cool

It's a 0 for me, never liked it. It really doesn't work for me and I've never understood how people hold it in such high regard. In actual fact, it's probably in my bottom 10 Prince tracks.

I'm not talking about how the good song is.

I'm talking about the idea behind it.

The lyrics are about a brand new groove goin' round
and the fact u can't get off until u make the house shake.

If the dancing in this party is making the house shake, its gotta register on the Ritcher scale right? lol

The idea behind the song is a 9.9, I'd say...

Believe it or not I got my house to move...4 floors of an antique 1875 century home...I would dance to this long play single..."Come and get your love," by "The Real McCoy"

And I would jump up and down, and when I stopped...I felt the vibrations.

They tore it down. cool

8.0 I'd say. Housequake is a weird good song in a weird good way.
