| One of my feel-good songs... reminds me of being young. Good times, good times... "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Black weddings play the HELL outta that joint for some reason I still can't figure out 
But it is a feel-good song and the album it came from is the KNOCK too 
Even though Wayne Cooper's absence left a void. | |

I LOVE this song. My mom brought me this album after I heard "Candy" cause I loved it so much. It's still my jam to this day. The video made me want to go to Times Square but Mom wasn't having it and for good reason to, at the time. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

Just was listening to this track the other day. Good song. I think my favorite still is She's strange. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Yeah, this is one of my all-time favs. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

Yes, this is a badass song.
Shame it sounded so much like "Word Up," though.
Also, I remember reading a review of one of their greatest hits albums and the critic pointed out that this song bore a "wry cocaine reference." 
I never would have guessed.
Oh well, what do you expect? They toured with Parliament Funkadelic back in the day. | |

what lyric?Dunno, but after reading that article I just thought the whole song was about Coke. Lyrics like "you're taking my appetite, but it's all right" and "you're givin me a heart attack, it's the kind I like" kinda made me wonder. | |
