I think the drumming is great. Sounds like Blackwell knows a bit about Mitch, which must come in handy these days, if you're playing drums for Prince.


Pretty sure it's Michael Bland. According to that recent interview he did.

i think the track is among his great rock tracks.

wouldn't associate it too much with funk though...



What is rock about the Wall of Berlin? What because it has a guitar in it? Some of you are hilarious


I'm gonna have to go with you on this one. It may be a lot of things, but 'rock' ain't one.
Ordinary, might be one?
Thread bare, might be another?

Maybe it's the title? He should have gone with 'The One U Wanna Skip'. wink

....I am being a little harsh. I'll wait for the album before I pass final judgement.

I now this is probably a simple comparison

And artist usually do recycle their own lyrics/lines

I love this song

And it's funny how you hear similarities in his songs

3121 ends talking about the wall of Berlin

Bounce party y'all.
It's going down people -
Like the wall of Berlin.

Don't you wanna come? 3121.
It's gonna be so much fun. (Yes it is.) 3121
That's where the party be. 3121.
You can come if you want to, but y'all can't never leave.

It's going down y'all.
Like the wall of Berlin.

I think you are being a little harsh... I like the song... just don't think its a rock song. Like so many songs its hodgepodge. I too think the title of the song is dated... but it works despite that.

Oh yeah, I like too near the end when
the guitar soloing is beginning and in
the background he goes: "knock it baby!"


And the part where he says, "where am I?". lol

Where am eye?
Universe of paradoxical design
Reality merely in the mind
In my head or in some German town
She said “you want a four leafed clover in the ground”

Ain’t superstitious and eye don’t believe in luck
Eye heard the thunder before the lightning struck
Couldn’t read the writing cause it was so small
But according to the document she got on the wall

She is down, like the Wall of Berlin
Eye come round about a quarter to ten
We just met, oh at least we pretend
It’s so fresh knocking down the Wall of Berlin

Where am eye?
Galaxy of monumental delight
Or parallel hologram copyright
The car comes unexpected like a mother in the park
The sound of a train, it erupts the question mark

I Like it
Who r u gonna b 2night baby?
Is that the queen of Sheba or an alien dream
The marks on the table say somewhere in between
Not one for rituals but one thing eye’ve found
Everything’s better when your come around

We get down, like the wall of Berlin
Eye come round about a quarter to ten
We just met, oh at least we pretend
It’s so fresh knocking down the Wall of Berlin
Dance... Let me see you dance

i think it is:


The sound of a train interrupts the question mark
it's time for a new direction / it's time for jazz to die
