in english: What the fuck is this shit?

Zapp's "I Can Make You Dance". The song that Prince ripped off. Just listen to the vocals and sing "I like it when you dance for me" instead of "I can make you dance".

ok.....thankx...............

thanks, Prince......

In your opinion....but Prince dance songs have more play on my ipod than theirs...

I can Make U Dance is repetetive as much as Lets Work.

Brothers Johnson......next

Cameo threw down..however all the people u names are ALL different than eachother...Minneapolis Funk is way different than anything they came out with.

In her opinion? Shouldn't SHE know for a FACT, whether or not if Prince's music has made HER dance the way Zapp, Cameo, The Brothers Johnson etc... did? confuse

In my opinion, those musicians just dont have that mpls sound that I love. Makes me dance more.

Yes. He's one of the greatest performers and musicians ever. I have really great cd and vinyl collection of his records. I love his new and even old output. How does it relate to the fact Dance 4 Me has the same melody? I don't piss rainbow over Prince's name all the time, I have my opinion which is not a bad thing.

I Can Make You Dance is a classic jam... Prince NEVA made me dance they way Zapp, Cameo, The Brothers Johnson etc... did.

NEVER.

Very true. Prince is great for a jack-of-all trades one man band type, but he ain't can't mess with those real funk/dance bands. I can't think of a single Prince song on Zapp's level, Rick James' level, The Gap Band. Not when it comes to funk dance records. Ok When Dove Cry is probably on that level, but that's it.

Are you speaking of artistry or just these two songs in particular?! Because "I Can Make You Dance" shits all over "Dance 4 Me". It's 10 times funkier than ANYTHING on that putrid MPLSound album!

No, Dance 4 Me is just as funky as I Can Make You Dance.
