Audio of Kat Edmonson singing 'The Beautiful Ones'

Maya Rudolph looks & reminds me of Teena Marie.Its almost eerie! When I first saw the pics. I did a double take...

I love you chris rock and you are a funny type of dude..(CB4 is hysterical),

that being said.......this song was never meant to be funny....(at least not to me)

please leave these precious spoken words to the one who wrote them......

did Prince give "permission" for Moonbeam Levels to be used??? does this mean he is on the verge of "using" it himself?
