3. Prince & The Revolution (a dialog between Wendy & Lisa at the beginning of Computer Blue)
5. Earth, Wind & Fire (All About Love)
7. Rick James (Fire & Desire)
10. Parliament (Chocolate City)
18. The Commodores (Just To Be Close To You)

lol I knew if i threw those two in there it wolud take the focus off of JB.

“So squirm -- with discomfort -- wiggle and cough (hack!), Six days of madness, hah! You might throw me off. Curse me in name! Defy me in speech! , But you'd pick me up right now if I were in your reach”.


I was certain the lyric content along would give it away.
so i went left field with the rappers to try and throw everyone off.

the way it's written you would think it was rap.

Sponnie Gee colud be associated w/Herion use.

Kurtis Blow could be associated with Cocaine (girl).

cool thanks for tellin' me that. It lets me know it worked.
