Definitely a favorite.

The funkay geetar is one of my faves evahhh. And I've always loved the whole "deconstructed" off-sounding parts (especially featured in the extended). I love how they sound like they shouldn't work, but of course totally do. cloud9

As far as the video, I still wish I could have a guy's version of Sheena's hair in that. lol

Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for.

I went off it a bit but now I love it.

One of clubs I go to plays it now and again and it's surprising how many people head to the dance floor when it comes on.

two thumbs up from me.

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

I love that too. It gives the song an added built-up-energy feel. Like she's got the look so much, he just can't sit still, and she's vibing off that, as is everyone around them. It's almost like a modern day tango, a flirtation dance of sorts.

wouldnt it be a blast? to turn on the radio and hear this song in today's musical climate?

its so energizing, concise, simple and solid, it grunts and snaps and pops and sparkles.

it makes sense, its bold, its realistic, it speaks.

this song is right up there with my all time favorite prince songs. biggrin

i think thats what this song reminds me of, the days when i had a lot of energy and a lot of fun.

loved music with a passion, played it loud, dancing around in the loungeroom and lipsyncing.

its such a bouyant song. biggrin
