I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

Great track, one of my Top 25 Songs on my I-Pod. With a bassline like that, how could you not love it...even if it sounds familiar. cool
Lady Cab Driver is one of the greatest songs ever!

It's hard to fathom why he would indulge in self-plagiarism ,i.e.,
"Super Freak = Hard To Get".

u know Rick might have written a lot of the songs that became the albums "street songs and "throwin down" at the same time. if u listen 2 "street", it seemed like he found a niche of some sort...just like Prince when he worked with the Linn, Jimmy Jam's keyboard swipe, Teddy Riley's percussion,the Gap Band when they started putting that 1-2-3-4/1-2-3-4 count off in their drums, and Cameo when they started usin that whistle on "She's Strange"....

Remembered why it is not on my ITunes.
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

Because "Super Freak" is so overplayed,these days I prefer to hear "Hard To Get" (if you gave me a choice) wink
