"too funky" was a good song though. What album is that from?
The Red Hot + Dance compilation. There are beautiful songs on Older that never get any credit. The existence of George Michael gives me hope that there will be another successful gay artist out of the closet that I can drool over. Consider the alternatives - Boy George, Elton John, RuPaul...



i LOVE "Safe" from Older and Upper

I give George props as a songwriter, musician & singer. like Prince, I think he did his best work in the 80, including a lot of what he did with WHAM!.

my favorite GM song has always been & will always be Father Figure,
VERY CLOSELY followed by Everything She Wants & Freedom '90.

nod Those songs are definitely classics by George hands down.

when Older was first released there was a limited edition cd set called Older and Upper

the frist cd was the usual Older cd

the second had a remix of spinning wheel
a 9.5mins mix of Fastlove that turned into I'm Your Man
a remix of strangest thing
a song called You Know What I Want to Do
and a song called Safe

As we have said before. "heaven help me" by deion estus might as well be george michael. Sorta like Tony Rich's "nobody knows" IS infact babyface singing.

George is great. I liked most of his funk-flavored output in the 80s. Careless Whisper soidified him as a top notch singer. He's a multi-instrumentalist, which is not spoken of much and his duet with Whitney Houston (If I Told You That) was highly unappreciated by the media. I think if the general public was a lot less hung up on who he's screwing, he'd be a lot more popular even now.

I fully expect George to be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame within the 1st 3 years of eligibility..
really, he should get in on his 1st year.


Father Figure is still the jam!

But Monkey (Remix) goes off!!!

Monkey (Remix) by George Michael

Better watch out
Baby who's that
Don't look now
There a monkey on you back
Watch out
Baby who's that
Don't look now
There a monkey on you (2X)

Why Can't You Do It?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving in to it -
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?
Why can't you do it
Why do i have to share my baby with a monkey?

Oh i count to ten
But i don't know how and i don't know when
To open my eyes
If you kiss me again
Like you did just now, like you did just then -
I've had the rest
Now it's time i had the best
So you tell me that you won't do anymore

Well i'd write your heart a letter
But i think you know me better
If i keep on askin' baby, maybe
I'll get what i'm askin' for

Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving in to it -
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?
Why can't you do it
Why do i have to share my baby with a monkey?

Oh i hate your friends
But i don't know how and i don't know when
To open your eyes
Yes the monkey's back again
Do you want him now like you did back then?
I tried my best
But your head is such a mess
So i guess that i don't want you anymore

Well you say you care about me
That you just can't do without me
But you keep on dancin' baby
'Til that monkey has you on the floor

Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving in to it -
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?
Why can't you do it
Why do i have to share my baby with a monkey?

Better watch out
Baby who's that
Don't look now
There a monkey on you back
Watch out
Baby who's that
Don't look now
There a monkey on you (2X)

nod BK, you took me back. Careless Whisper was one of George's tight slow jams ever. It seriously was one of my all time favorite cuts by him.
