Here come the judge like Ito
And just like Aretha with a sack of Fritos
We funkin' till the kingdom come
Tito got your tissue son
Before this motherfucker's done
Somebody goin' down and it won't be this one (Not I)
Because we're here 2 have fun
It ain't about the money or the gun
We just wanna be free as the sun
Then we'll be all nice livin' that...

lol

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

The Good Life reached Number 15 in the UK back in 1997, credited to just the New Power Generation.

I remember it because at the same time Rosie Gaines was at Number 14 or something with Closer Than Close for a few weeks alongside them.

Exodus was my very first album I ever bought back in 1995 when both NPG & Rosie's songs were originally released. 1997 being the re-issues.

And i believe they were maxi singles with like 8 remixes on The Good Life one.

The Dancing Divas mix was played a lot around clubs in the UK. I know this is a remix, but between this and some of the other dance-music tracks he sprinkled about he definitely had a full on Dance Music album in him.

The Big City mix is great too though.

I head about it on this board and went searching for it.

It's so menacing. I love it.

My favorite line is "everybody's a slave" with Mayte harmony: "until you say no".

Brilliant.
