"Suck My Kiss" - RHCP.
And hate if you will, but "Comedown" by Bush is a good one. When the sunlight strikes raindrops in the air, they act as a prism and form a rainbow. The rainbow is a division of white light into many beautiful colors. Regardless of the day, I'm glad you were born. | |

You need a separate forum for your comedy routines.

Getting serious now:
Voices Carry - 'Til Tuesday (enveloping bass) Hang Up Your Hangups - Herbie Hancock Sara - Fleetwood Mac (the bass gives it a nice grounding) Staying Alive - Bee Gees Woman In Love - Barbra Streisand (a Gibb production? no coincidence) And to whoever mentioned Stevie's I Wish 
That is an amazing bass line. [Edited 9/26/04 14:11pm] | |
