this joint's entire hook and bassline is totally lifted from slave's "watching you"...nonetheless, it's still a fun song to listen to. "inside out" came out about a year after "watching you" ("wy" came out in '80 on the stone jam album), so this explains it all.

testify, if you know this one!

I agreed the hook exactly was from Slave "watching you". when I heard those songs on radio, I have to stop for a minute to see which one the DJ was playing-Slave or Odyssey?

But still i like that song.

Great song. I thought I was the only one that knew about that one. Definately similar to "Watching You".

Handclaps, you definately know your vinyl because I haven't heard that one on the radio in years.

That song do sound similar to Watching you. But it least it sounds good.

I knew about this groove....

It's the same music. Steve Arrington produced it and I believe that it's Steve or Mark Adams playing bass on Inside Out.

Great song. I never paid any attention to the sameness of "Inside Out" and "Watching You"...but damn, now it's so obvious.

like the words here in this song

"I wanna be Inside OUt.."

I love it. I have the 12" version on the "Smooth Grooves: Cool Down" compilation.

I wanna be-ee
In side Out

Oh Dansa..

Odyssey is a very underrated group.I have a Greatest Hits CD by them,and they have many,many kickass jams.Everyone remembers "Native New Yorker" and "Inside Out" (their two biggest hits),but I also like "Together" and their version of "Don't Tell Me,Tell Her".
