It was such a funky return to form & then this drops in! It's like your parents turning up unexpectedly to your house party!!! I mean, we love & understand his desire to educate us through the guise of up tempo funk [Get on the Boat, Gold Standard etc] ...BUT this time it was not appreciated by me!!

Come on
Next to her they just a fool
Chelsea read more books than a few
Moses was a Pharoah in the eighteenth Dynasty
And Rome was chilling in Carthage in 33 BC
And the day that we stop counting, we live as long as a tree
Go ahead Chelsea, teach me! Go ahead Chelsea

UGH!

Not just that, also the verse about how she can't get jiggy with you unless you've, 'been baptised according to the master plan'

and basically the majority of his songs post Larry Graham.

Damn you Larry...

Well he's just trying to say that this CR person was a JW. To me it seems like he's talking about 2 different people, just blending them into 1 person. I mean like, did Chelsea really have a butt like the letter "C"?

Oh my god. I always thought she had a butt like a "leather seat". Which always seemed like a weird thing to have a butt like. Flat and firm? Letter C is way better.

I almost died laughing on this one, Mintchip!! Yeah, don't think a "leather seat" would be much of a compliment for a model. Hey, it happens......................

I think that is up there with my favourite misheard lyrics

Shake it like a Juicy Juice will always have meaning for some of us! My dad used to do their advertising. We had cases of it in the garage.

This song is corny af. Old man at the club rnb/funk. Or is it rown n sexy funk?

That's the one that ruins it for me. The song sounds awesome but that verse makes it seem like Prince is pimping her out based on religion.

Part of the Juicy Juice ad campaign was that you had to SHAKE IT before you DRINK IT. This was in the 1960's - way before juice boxes, it was in little individual plastic bottles with peel off foil tops.

Why do so many fans see Prince as a victim of indoctrination, but not Larry? It’s just how organised faith works – it’s like a virus. Scapegoating a particular individual misses the point, and ultimately nobody is responsible for what they choose to believe but themselves. If Prince was accepting of Larry’s belief system it was because he was looking for it, it was in accordance with his own thinking or he had lost his way in some other respect. He's doing no less than Larry with his lyrics, or his door knocking etc. I really disliked Prince's piety in later life, but I think that people are far too hard on Larry. You pays your money and you takes your choice.

Well... We got The Rainbow Children instead of Roadhouse Garden... Just remember that.

Yep

Come on Chelsea
Keep that body moving
Come on Chelsea
Make that body move

Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Shake it like a Juicy Juice

Chelsea Rodgers is Top 5 for me since he passed.

I personally don't mind that verse. Not as bad as that rap verse inserted in 2011's Extraloveable
