Fire and Desire or Happy?

I like F & D, but I love Happy.

I rarely hear anyone talk about Happy.

I third that

I love both of those songs. But I'll vote for F&D first.

BTW, I also like Call Me (I Got Your Number).

Where are the Happy lovers?

wtf is "Happy"??

and further more, wtf is "Fire & ICE"???



I'll pick the one we all know

'HAPPY' is a seriously under played Classic. I LOVE that song but can never find it. F n D is overplayed but it's still a good tune.

I am shocked that since everything current is a cover that Fire and Desire hasn't been covered yet...

Fire Desire does it for me. That's some baby makin music right there!!

Fire & Desire is still the one that kills every ballad out here today! They just reworte the rules of what every duet ballad should be...

No one is good enough to do a cover version of that song.

And what woman do you know that can take Teena's parts? Mariah, maybe?

TonyVanDam said:

Right, no one is good enough to do that song

Let's see if you all remember 'Once And Future Dream' by Teena & Rick. That song is real nice.

TonyVanDam said:

Oh please God don't give them any ideas This song should be left the fuck alone. And Mariah lacks the passion necessary imo - this song is thunderous & emotional, she could yell it but she can't feel it...

CalhounSq said:

Good answer! F&D should be remember as the holy ground of all slow jams. No remakes, ever!!!

CalhounSq said:

It's another Rick James/Teena Marie duet that appears on Rick's 1982 album 'Throwin Down'.

PurpleCharm said:

See, now... I had to go fire up the turntable and put on "Throwin' Down"- equipped with tha 'crackle 'n' pop'!

"You go from the bottom of my toes to the top of my head..."

I prefer 'Happy' at this point, but that's mostly because 'Fire & Desire' is approaching 'I don't ever have to hear it again' status. Nah, I shouldn't say "mostly". 'Happy' is the jam on its own merits.

violator said:

I agree .

WHAT ABOUT 'ONCE & FUTURE DREAM!!!!

violator said:

Agreed! "Fire and Desire" is spectacular,but they play it too damn much! If I don't hear it again anytime in the next five years,that's okay with me.I feel the same way about other overplayed songs like "Sexual Healing" and "Between The Sheets".

SoulAlive said:

Funny you mention 'Between The Sheets', because that was the other overplayed song I mentioned in another thread. Along with the live version of 'Devotion'.

Happy.....Fire & Desire is TOO OBVIOUS!!!!!

Yougofromthebottomofmytoestothe TOP OF MY HEAAAAAD!!!!!
And you keep.....me.....HAPPY!!!!!
Rick James R.I.P.!!!!!
Funk-N-Roll 4 Life!!!!!

What yall know about "Im A Sucker For Your Love". I love this joint. When that sax kicks in, I lose it.

OOOOOH TEENA BABY!
