Concur with:
Fire Holy Ghost Chameleon Bustin' Out As for the others, I believe there may not only be funkier songs of all time to replace them with but more classic funk from those very same artists. For Parliament, I would go with something like Flashlight For Commodores, I would go with something like Slippery When It's Wet For Slave, I would go with something like Slide For Bootsy, I would go with something like Stretchin' Out For Sly, I would go with something like Thankyoufallentinmebemiceelf Keep Da Fonk Alive!!! Peace Out, Scott If you've got funk, you've got style. | |

Just got to resist the temptation to throw my money completely outta the window! BTW, as far as I know, that's all Prince on 7779311. The cymbal is programmed anyway, isn't it? | |
