We Gets Up deserves more love

I slept on this one for some time, but now I love it. It has that same happy, upbeat vibe reminiscent of Sly & The Family Stone.

I love the goofy sounding effects, sounds like a pinball machine or something. And the ending... when that awesome rhythm guitar kicks in with the handclaps... that's some great stuff right there.

I used to listen to it once a year, but beyond that, nothing special about the song, there's nothing wrong with it, but it does not sound like a Prince song ... it reminds me of Informer by Snow, dont know why.

I think people's dislike for it mostly stem from the video game like sound effects. Or they don't like the title, something like that.

It's got a lot of energy and moves along really effortlessly. It's well-written and the horn and rhythm arrangements are great. It's far above some of the later "rockin'" funk tracks like "Feel Good, Feel Better, Feel Wonderful". It doesn't feel forced like some of the later stuff.

Never any hate for it from this quarter, never. I always liked it and always got a Lovesexy vibe from it, like Escape or Scarlet Pussy extended, kind of like a studio party jam. I think it's the horns maybe.
