I mean, it sorta needs those horns to be a viable "never gets tiring," doesn't it?

Prince - 7

And One's remix of Timekiller, specifically

* I know people are tired of the "Pina Colada Song." But if folks just listen to the lyrics, and get what's going on, it's a great story. Both people are tired of their relationship, place a personal ad in the paper, both unaware of the other. They both answer each other's add and agree to meet at a bar. When she walks in, he recognizes her just by the curve of her face. They then realize they have more in common than they ever realized. I always thought it was such a clever story.

I may add to the list later.

Have you heard the remix that Janet instagrammed a dance troupe performing to?

I'm actually more into the album version. Horns? The part that sounds like five synth keys at once?

Yes, in the 80s we called those horns. LOL But yes, the extra production remix is better. It's just the album with a flare.

Tons more, but those are some that hit all the right buttons for me!

I just remembered how much I love Robert Palmer singing "I didn't mean to turn you on" as a duet with B. J. Nelson.

But, everybody's choices on this thread are awesome too.

[Edited 12/11/21 19:36pm]

I just discovered recently (like last week on SiriusXM) that this song was written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

I know.

Robert Plamers is a really fantastic version.

I like Cherelle's too, but Palmer's one is cool and funky as hell.

He must've loved whatever came from the Prince camp, having a song of Prince (''Lust You Always'') given to him by Prince... I wonder if he ever rerecorded it.

The song is fierce, and don't know if it was up Robert's alley.

The this Jam & Lewis penned track...

I even wonder what Prince thought of Robert Palmer ?

Did they acutally ever met ?

Anyone ?

By the way, Robert Palemer's ''Pride'' album is so asolutely great, everyone here should try it.

I always loved his music, and this ''Pride'' album, imho, was Palmer's 'Lovesexy' sort of album in his career. So far ahead with the use of synths and different styles of music. Layers of his own vocals. A album that for me never seems to fail.

What A Fool Believes - Doobie Brothers

Same here, the gift that keeps on giving!

"Your Love" by The Outfield.

https://www.youtube.com/w...N1iwQxiHrs

"A Million Miles Away" by The Plimsouls"

https://www.youtube.com/w...IxgBMNhsKU

There's so many. Mainly stuff from the 70's. Two though, that come to mind are Spirits In The material World and Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic by The Police. Those are two of the best album 1, 2 punches ever. I still get goose bumps when hearing those two songs(and the whole album for that matter). Another one is Trying to Make A fool of Me by The Delfonics

"Magic Man", Heart
