Patra - "Pull Up to My Bumper"

I know Grace Jones did this first and I like her version, but for me...it's all about Patra on this one. lol This was a staple on The Box when it was released. I love the extra verse she added (the translation below is not my own):

Check dis now
Pull up to mi bumpa watch mi indicata
When yuh a turn left right an centa
No bodda if mi curve
When yu a enta
If yuh in di curve den yuh know yuh tun ova
Green light
Press di accelerata
When yuh see di red light yuh know dat caan Hanja
No bodda smoke dro when yuh see di umba
Speed trap don't pull ova

I cannot stand Patra. No offense, but she annoys me.

Hehe, now this was one of the summer jams of '95! I thought nothing of the video as a child, but looking at it now, the sexual suggestiveness is through the roof. It's amazing BET ran this in their daytime rotation as much as they did.

The remix was pretty cool too.

I got no problems with Patra but I hated that cover. Everything about it was just whack compared to the original Grace Jones version.

The album version of the cover was pretty unimpressive, but the remix was HAWT!! headbang I was bumping it last night.
