Now you know you have to be cool to sing about a tree, a bird, an ice cream castle and pair of panty hose and still pull women like a freight train! LOL. Nothing but Love Morris!!
I agree, I cut my teenage teeth on great music like this!! So many great R&B groups, Atlantic Star, Midnight Starr, Kool and the Gang, Alexander Oneal, Cameo, Lakeside, The Deele, I could go on for days! Then decent rap came along up until the early 90's and then it all went to hell. Rap is 99.9% crap nowadays. You have to censor everything you and your kids listen to.
Dancin was the thang back in the day...............When it comes to dancin I'm the best, The music was way ahead of their time, snythesizers, the bass lines were sweeet, oh and the drums were on point...........real musicians too!
"ATTENTION PRINCE" You might own the rights to the name "The Time" and you might not let them use the name anymore but as fans they will ALWAYS BE THE TIME to us so you can't keep us from calling them "THE TIME"... THE TIME now is using the name "THE ORIGINAL 7VEN" checkout there new song "#TRENDIN" and there new video. You guys check it out and show the masters of cool some Love. SORRY PRINCE YOU LOSE THIS ROUND PURPLE ONE!!!!! OH YEAH THERE NEW ALBUM IS OUT CALLED "CONDENSATE" In store now...
this song was the shit when it came in '85. brings back alot of memories. todays music doesnt compare to music in the 80s as far as r&b goes. todays r&b isnt r&b in my book.
I REMEMBER THIS PLAYING AT MY FAMILY'S FAMILY REUNION...BACK IN THE DAY WHEN IT WAS LOTS OF FOOD AND GOOD TIMES CHILLIN' IN THE BACK YARD...FAMILY AND FRIENDS FROM EVERYWHERE WITH THE FRESH RIDES AND NEW CLOTHES.....
OMG, I really talk to you sometime. You seem to as much a fan of Morris Day just like me. Cool. Pass it over to me. I'll put to the test. Loud it could never be. Only the best will ever do. What say you?
It has Morris saying "Look out! Look out!" twice and when the girls say Oak Tree there's an echo...... "Oak Tree!...Oak Tree! Oak Tree!....." (Some of y'all know what I'm talkin' bout.)
(And check this out:: I can't believe that while I was playing this and explaining to my son who Morris Day is, a reference to him shows up on 'Everybody Hates Chris' - Chris' friend was dressed up like Morris and sporting the mirror, Ha!)
