at first listen, this song didn't do much for me. it's just...eh.

it might be a grower though shrug

i like the Pointer Sisters' "automatic" much more. music

I almost flipped out because I thought you said it's PS Automatic but much more. It can't dare to compare to that greatness but I'm not going to slam it because of that lol

I LOVE, LOVE , LOVE this song! What a funky pop pleasure! Pure pleasure! And yes I do dig

the line "paradoxes boxes key". The song reminds me of something Prince would have written for Vanity 6 or the Time. It's not only funky but it's got a playful whimsical feeling to it and the lyrics take me away to another place. This song flows well out of Act of God.

20TEN is Amazing! cool

More layered Prince vocals, so, cool there. But otherwise this is a huge miss for me. One that I'll probably skip in the future. Don't really dig the lyrics and everything else about this track feels a bit lazy compared the rest of the disc.

The bridge still brings the song down but I find this has a nice synth pop flow. I'm digging it more than I was upon initial listens, should've been longer. As far as I know we can call this a standout though I still consider it quite lazy.

lol lol Too bad the shoulderpads don't improve the style of the song. I never did like shoulderpads, though.

It's just struck me that this album now contains shoulderpads and maxi pads.... not sure where I'm going with that exactly... lol

Which song needs knee pads? We can complete the trifecta. lol

That's supposed to be an element to make a song funky. But it's not to me. lol

It's Miami Vice funk. lol And that could be a good thing or bad thing. lol

Totally sounds like "Automatic" from the Pointer Sisters but from the first note it completely reminded me of "Purple Music" The unreleased song from a much younger Prince. I read through 3 pages of replies to see if anyone else noticed the similarities.

Mm. Nah. Don't think I'll listen to this one again for a long time. It sounds like an outtake, or an after thought. Doesn't really fit with the rest of the album for me, either.

Lovin' this one! An early favorite! The music is definitely entrenched in the 80's. I keep getting a visual of people cleaning up a community center or painting a house while dancing around in an 80's B-movie montage. lol
