Don't forget about "Thunder and Lightning" by Miss Thang which was the reply record to "The Rain"....
Those clothes look just as good on you today.....as they did yesterday..... You're just like 7 Up, never had it.....never will..... Andy is a four letter word. | |

"I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce!" was another classic line from Oran "Juice" Jones' "The Rain."
It's definitely one of the best soul songs of 1986, but it's only because of Jones' rap at the end. That's what sold the song and made it memorable, not Jones' modest Stylistics-inspired singing or the production. I have to agree with Alex de Paris that there were some other songs that overall were superior. [Edited 7/19/07 19:10pm] THE TRAFFIC JAMMERS, The Org's house band: VAINANDY -- lead singer; NAJEE -- bass; THE AUDIENCE -- guitar; PHUNKDADDY -- rhythm guitar; ALEX de PARIS -- keyboards; Da PRETTYMAN -- keyboards; FUNKENSTEIN -- drums. HOLD ON TO YOUR DRAWERS! |

ah hell yesss. good as funny song and the answer by the female.
but all the songs in the 80's are better then the songs NOW. also some other answer songs: rumors by tyme next social club to roaches by bobby jimmy all those damn ROXANNE's answers, 7,8,9 of those. SOME PEOPLE--THOSE WHO THINK IT'S EVER THEIR PLACE TO CHANGE SOMEONE--WILL FIND NEW "FAULTS" WHEN OLD ONES GET "FIXED".

 It's some female,responding back to him....she says things like...
that's a nice suit you have on....it looks just as good on you today as it did yesterday!  you know i think i vaguely remember that. i wonder who she was? I have no idea,but it was hilarious Our local radio station would play her record right after his.He ends his song by saying "Don't touch that coat!" and then they would start playing her song. | |

That's what sold the song and made it memorable, not Jones' modest Stylistics-inspired singing or the production. I agree,it was definitely the spoken rap part that got people's attention.I like Jone's singing,too....he was a pretty good vocalist,obviously influenced by early-70s soul artists and groups.On his second album,he even did a remake of The Moment's "Not On The Outside",which wasn't half-bad. | |

"That's right. Then I went to the bank and cancelled all those charge cards. I stuck you up for every piece of jewelry I ever bought ya. Yeah, that's right." Men used to LOVE this song when it came out. Yeah Oran could talk $#!T with the best of them. I also liked "Shaniqua Got Me Whupped, C'mon Spank Me With Your Love" | |
