Frère Jacques

I was listening to the grieving widow Sheila E.'s In Romance 1600 today, and remembered how they briefly played "Frère Jacques" in the song about 8 minutes into it.

Then it hit me. This isn't the first time "Frère Jacques" was used. One of the remixes of "Pop Life," I believe the one Sheila did, has it in there, too.

They were in fact playing Sly Stone's Underdog.

THE GRIEVING WIDOW

just responded to Prince's quirky bass rendition on "A Love Bizarre" with a sing song rendition on her "Pop Life" remix.

AND?

It's a nice connection for Purple Nerds to recognize.

biggrin

Old Dirty Bastard (Wu Tang Clan) sang it on "Do Rae Wu" on the Wu Tang Killa Beez lp in the early 2000's

I've listened to the songs, many times. But no, I haven't sat and put together a spreadsheet of shared elements across his vast catalog. You win.

TBH man I've read this thread and I still haven't noticed it because it's been literally years since I played the Fresh Dance Mix, not when i've got the actual extended version sitting there looking at me.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.
