  • Great classic.

  • I'm Grrrrooooving and To This!!!!! I Love This Song!!!

  • this shit was BANGIN' back in the day!!!!!!!!

  • Fine asss.

  • NASTY

    

  • had this on cassette, lost it and decide to type it in on utube and finds lmbo.

  • Vanity was spearheading the prince revoltion as well as Morris Day and the time did so gave her props...... Derrickdevine....

  • Puuu---uuu-----uuuuupy loooove.... puppy love , call it what you want beeiitch, puppy love call it what you want!! - nate dogg featuring daz & kurupt

  • This was my shit when it came out. I used to bounce to this in my ride. ♥ this song.

  • @vitaboy68 I so agree with u. People know that sex sells and always did. She was no true talent and people can get offended if they like, it is what it is! She JUST CAN'T SING!!! I know what raw talent is and shed not it! U right, patti, Tina turner, Whitney, Chaka and I can keep going and that had continuous albums to prove it.

  • @utubegirl What u need to do is get a fucking clue!! That's what utube is for dumbutubegirl!! Any and everyone has the right to state their opinion on here and u don't have to agree with it. Whether I like any song or not I can say that because it's freedom of speech dumb girl. Every man knows prince put her on because of her body and face and that's it not because of her voice because she didn't have one!! So what u need to do is learn what real talent is!! And if she actually had such a good

  • @nivea85 Yes,I realize Denise Matthews in a born again Christian, and have seen most post-vanity interviews.Most people "fake" who they really are ,especially the teen-mid20's.Some adopt an image that will impress young ladies or impress men.Nevertheless that was her "character" stage or not. Pain and suffering from wanting to be who you were born to be promotes us to ask our Creater who we really are. At least for Denise and myself. I respect your response tho!

  • Great voice? NOT. However, she and co-writer/produce Bill Wofer did a great job with her vocal rannge and moans. A great voice like LaBelle, Knight or Houston would over sing the vibe of this song and loose the feel.

  • @ tashawilliams it's called originality being one's own character instead of this dumb generation on autotune you wouldn't recognize raw talent if you got hit over the head with it! You probably hatin on her looks the best by far IDK who u could put up against her they would fall flat!!!!

  • @schleprockable you visibly never watched any of her recent interviews where she acknowledges faking who she was back then,... and pretending to be someone she was not., always unhappy but faking...she built her image around sex, love and lust, and thats not who she was really....btw this is her own opinion, not mine. . so you really cant say she is her own character, more than this dumb generation, the 2 are really the same...just that now she found genuine happiness

  • oh y'all must've fa got MORRIS SNAPS ON THE DRUMS!

  • i saw this woman 14 rows from the stage,1999 tour. the most gorgeous by far of any of the top 25 finest, no contest. pure unadulterated(well) 1000 ship launching beauty. i was smokin super-bad-herb @ that show, but she was checkin' me out her whole stint kept makin eye contact. boy o boy what if..........

  • Damn right, This Is the most beautiful woman put on the Earth. She is a goddess and no woman has anything on her, unfortunately she was very underrated , even now she's still amazing even though she doesnt go by Vanity anymore, none of these girls in this generation could have anything close to vanity's beauty oir personality

  • @marcusrob02 u dumb ass I'm probably older than u and I def know talent u freakin loser. The only reason people liked vanity was because of her face and her body and that's it! It's obviously u don't know real talent. She had no talent. Listen to her voice dummy! And nowadays u have Alicia keys, John legend and many more who actually has talent. U must be some dumb kid wit yo goof ass!

  • The thing I like about this song is the drums. Jellybean Johnson was on point.

    I don't how he does it but man, he's ths king in my book.

  • Songs sucks!! Vanity can't song for shit. It sounded good back in the 80's because people didn't know any better now that i listen to it again it's hot garbage.

  • @tashawilliams78 But, today's singers are FAAAAAAARR WORSE! Even today's Neo Soul singers can't hold a candle vocally to artists like Vanity! You just don't know talent! Must be some dumb kid!

  • @tashawilliams78 If Vanity was "talentless"(as you claim) and think the song sucked then, why are you even on here? God, some ppl are just dumb.

  • til this very day, she is the most gorgeous lady i ever seen in my life :p

  • The original baddest b*tch. I will always love Vanity and will never forget their concert, as in Vanity 6.....

  • her and latoya voice sort of remind me of eachother i love it

  • THE GIRL CAN SANG, DUMMY'S!!! THANKS TO THE TRUE FANS WHO KNOW!!!

  • I learned everything about being sensual from her ...wow

  • @Dablkwid0w2008 me too lol

  • RAPPIN IN FRENCH COOL AS HELL

  • @librastar88 At least it is here

  • Her songs are always entertaining dispite her limited vocal ability.

  • I'm sorry. Anyone listening to this and still doubting Vanity's vocal ability is deaf and needs to do some homework. She is climbing up and down friggin JAZZ scales with ease.

  • The beat is hot but her vocals are terrible. Vanity's look was everything, but that voice was hysterical. Appollonia sounded better vocally.

  • @ScienceProjek Her vocals were on point for the project... she is amazing. Not the average singer, no... but she had far more talent than Apolonia. Check out Vanity singing Sexshooter from Purple Rain! It took the song to another level it was funky and smart... and nasty. Look it up...

  • @MrSamuelle007 Apolonia sung Sex Shooter.. I know, typo..

  • @MrSamuelle007 Where can I hear it. I googled it and nothing came up.

  • @MyJunior1975, Check Out Wikipedia

  • @MyJunior1975, Homeboy that's the Time doing the Music and Morris Day the chorus with her!

  • I think halters would look best on her because of her cone shape.

  • I LOVE THIS SUNG EVEN TODAY, I BLAST IT IN MY CAR WITH THE SUNROOF OPEN THE FRENCH NO ONE HAS DONE THAT EVEN TODAY, OWWW, OWWW I LOVE!!!

  • VANITY was ahead of her time......Madonna ripped off her style....

  • @Traycuzsex I was wondering when someone would FINALLY noticed that out!!! Prince & Madonna were dating around the time Denise broke up w/ him and she left the group. I didn't know any better, I'd say Prince pursuade Madonna to change her "Cyndi Lauper" took look more like Vanity w/ the raunchy image..

  • @utubegirl yeah i realized that,

  • Morris Day & The Time made this song Funky!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @mrmccloud69 That's not morris Day & The Time on this song. I'll have to find her "Wild Animal" album that this song appears on, but I know for a fact that it's not them.

  • A funky track for vanity,drum keyboard and guitars was bad is hell

  • A funky track for vanity,drum keyboard and guitars was bad is hell

  • @LiteraryWriter Great question. The truth of the matter is it is not about whether or not God exists. It's the fact that she believes it so strongly that her brain overwrites the biology or DNA in her body and keeps Denise Matthews alive.

  • @LiteraryWriter Honestly, I think it is the fear of dieing empty; if that makes any sense.

  • Praise God for Denise Matthews' spiritual turnaround!

  • Well, she used to be a nasty girl but now she is a virgin for the Lord! God bless you Denise Matthews! You are such an inspiration for those walking the path.

  • I love this and her. I was in 1988 but if this was todays' era with a 808 bass it would a club bangger! =)

  • I loved this song, it was hot, sexy and steamy and with Morris Day it all came together so well. The greatest duet of the 80's....they should've worked together more. Vanity was very talented and ambitious, it's no wonder she went solo. She was Vanity 6.

  • With all she had, she was horribly sad and lonely at the height of her success. She was, as you may or may not know, involved with Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue.  She was a severe crack and coke head .... BIG TIME!.... Excellent information on her experience can be found in The Heroin Diaries, by Nikki Sixx

  • This is my shit!!! for real, the break down Vanity was so hot and the music is so great!!!

  • I agree with literarywriter, she could sing and I loved this song. Good Club song.

  • She could not sing,but this is a great song.This song is musically mind blowing.

  • I Love This Vanity And Morris Day 1985 Hit, "Mechanical Emotion," Which Became A Top 25 R&B Hit In America.

  • Whats her name? Btw found out about her like yesterday and LOVIN it!

  • people both exaggerate and understimate her singing,die hard fans exaggerate her ability and haters claim she can't sing. She was somewhere in the middle in my opinion,though she really got better towards the end of her career with Faraway Eyes,etc

  • J'adore ce miroir

    Alors oui c'est toi que vois

    Alors oui c'est toi que vois

  • This was the song back in 1984. Pure Erotica !

  • This is a slammin tune from vanity,came out in late 1984.

  • This is my favorite Vanity song. It shows all those haters out there that she really can sing.

  • This song is SO about Prince...

  • omfg. she was nothing but a pretty faced airhead. range? what are u...her brother? Prince liked em HOT, PERIOD

  • @MrsJonesSturgis She was more than a pretty face. Should could sing, and act! A talented lady. Being HOT is a plus in this business. Its well produced for this time and period. Why do people who don't know always talk like they do? Everyone can have an opinion. But obviously more people thought she had talent....She was successful......

  • @championcole That was convincing, it's true, you almost had me...except for the fact that I HAVE EARS!

  • @MrsJonesSturgis Its a pity their just taking up space.....Unless you're just another one of the people that have a short knowledge for talent. Or one of these women who just have a hard time with other beautiful women. Or you were not from this time when pop music had this style....Or last....you just don't know! Her success speaks for itself.

  • Comment removed

  • @championcole ...and one more thing - yes, she could act!

  • @MrsJonesSturgis Yes...she was a very beautiful and talented actress & singer! She's left a footprint in our history...Thats why she's still being talked about in 2010. May she be born again...or dead.....We all know her name, her music, and her acting....

  • @championcole Other beautiful women? Hmmm, thanx, is that why you're still talking? Everyone else is commenting and walking away but you won't leave me be. I am certainly old enough to remember and have deliberately forgotten. Success? Well, now-that depends on how you measure success-Her REAL success came when she got saved. I agree to completely disagree with you. I do not enjoy the sound, I would not bump this then or now, case closed. God bless. ("Cocaine is a helluva drug"-Rick James)

  • @MrsJonesSturgis You can measure success in any way you desire. Overlooking her career. She HAD success! Being SAVED or BORN AGAIN is a choice that she made. And thats great for her...As long as she's not a fanatic and think that makes her better than everybody else. If she's or anyone is SAVED they don't have negative things to say about anybody. BTW if anyone addressing something directly to me....I answer. I didn't follow the thread of conversations....I just got your comment and replied.

  • This hook has been in my head for years and when I was a kid, I THOUGHT it was Vanity...thank God for Wikipedia!

  • We all had our childhood heroes. I had this on a 45 and played it over and over. And you know what? I still don't get it. How high do I have to be to understand?

  • fine black women

  • her voice. her face. gahhhhh I want it. &I love the part where she speaks frennch.

  • WHO LOOKS BETTER? VANITY OR BEYONCE? I WAS JUST BEING CURIOUS

  • @dejai12345 .......vanity...without hesitation...vanity has a sexiness that beyonce can never have...

  • @1173scorpion thx

  • @dejai12345 .....please know that beyonce is absolutely gorgeous.....without a doubt...shes definitely sexy as hell...

  • VANITY IS THE DEFINITION OF A WOMAN-WITH HER CAT LIKE MOVE'S AND MYSTICAL CHOICE OF WORD'S WHERE HAS THE TALENT OF THE HUMAN MIND GONE.[ SWAGZ ]

  • This is a very creative song. Why has no one covered this?

  • BEST VANITY SONG TO ME EVER!!!!!!!

  • Love this song from the first time I heard it. Bring back my high school memories.

  • This is a true funk classic. Morris & Vanity killed it on this one!!

    The vocals are seductive, the embodiment of lust and funkiness!

    Long live the seductress, the Vamp, Vanity . . sexuality incarnate!

  • They should have done a video for this!!!! Argh :)

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

  • I LOVE VANITY

  • Wow..now she rocking a halo.

  • this is the first girl i had highschool crush on growing up

  • AHHH VANITY!!!when it comes to beauty there is no woman that has ever come close to this goddess...the eyes, the bone structure, teeth, nose and the glow that just radiated out of this woman...Exotic Beauty... A natural Beauty...and a talent that was far ahead of her time...she never received the type of credit she most certainly deserved...

  • @HAWAIIFOREVERMORE AMEN!!

  • Awesome!

  • That´s a Bad Biiitch mayne! Anyone got the Instrumental for this cut mayne?...aiight mayne

  • My man's got it, he'll e-mail it if you want.

  • fa shiizzle. thankz

  • This is a bad track! I was shocked when I heard Nate Dogg use it on one of his songs. SHe's got a few song with cool tracks

  • Is Prince or anyone who owns the rights to her music ever gonna release the stuff she did with Vanity 6 on Itunes? I think the world is ready for it. I know I am. This song is hot too!

  • just d.l. using real player onto hard drive, then burn to cd(or dvd with super pass)

  • My sister downloaded this tune along with some other tunes from Vanity off of Wild Animals. They played this song on the Soul Train line up. lol

  • Did you say download? Where can I get the download to this? Help me Puhleez!!!!!!!!

  • I will get the website from my sister next time I talk to her and let you know.

  • somebody burned me a copy of her LP Wild animal, i wish i could find the person on here, let me search and see if i still have their name/info. Then you can upload to your ipod right?

  • @greywolfone1 did they play this on soul train?! what?! even if they only played a snippet, i'd be satisfied.

  • @nickfreshalive I think this tune was only played when they did the Soul Train Line up. She never performed this tune live. Slammin track though.

  • @greywolfone1 Yeah. one of my favorite Prince auxiliary jams ever. probably one of my top favorites from the 80s, too. :) Knowing that they had this played on an episode of Soul Train makes my year. easy.

  • I AM THE LAST DRAGON!!! man i loved that flick

  • OMG I love this song

    Thank You for posting I used to play this over and over

  • SHE WROTE THIS!? mad props 25yrs ltr!

  • vanity wrote all the songs to ''VANITY'' and ''SKIN ON SKIN'' albums. This was a talent of hers that PRINCE would not allow when she sang with him and when she was with VANITY 6,

  • But wasn't it called "Wild Animal" and not "Vanity"?? (her first solo effort?)

  • Vanity didnt write those songs - dont fool yourself

  • She did write the song on the Wild Animal record. I had the Album hte song were written in her handwriting! But she didn't write on her second album Skin on Skin. She helped on some of the song on Vanity6 too! I sooo Love Her!!!! Talk about a sexy women

  • LOVE this song...they don't make this stuff anymore...Now check my profile for 45 of these kind of songs!...

    And also check my tagged site too for over 900 similar songs that I like...

  • is this on itunes

  • I use to sing the hell out of this song. This song was my favorite on this album.

  • Man, this song takes me back to when I was a kid. Such an underrated song.

  • classic Minneapolis funk!

  • Vanity plays to her strengths and speaks French with Morris Day for a fine duet of style, sardonic with, playful banter. She moans and wriggles with perfection and vocalizes with attitude. This is her forte. One of favorite tracks. Lil Kim should learned from her.

  • I don't want to start a firestorm, but knowing Morris Day, I am almost certain that he says "you keep me erect" not "you keep me a wreck."

  • "a wreck" makes more sense given that the rest of the song isn't as explicite contextually.

    However, when I first heard this song back in the day, I thought "erect" was used as well.

    It's safe to assume "a wreck" is the lyric.

  • this is one sexy song the bass line is smoking

  • Mirror that reflects all that I see, you mirror reflects

    c'est moi! I love this mirror!----- thats what the french part means

  • Comment removed

  • I agree with you. She can sing... most of what I hear is "she was fine but not vocally talented".  But when I listen to this and some other songs, it seems like she could sing pretty well

  • @LiteraryWriter LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LMAO!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!! RFOTL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think not she worked with what she had and then moved to used her physical attributes and a good sense of comedy to parlay some kind of success. That is all folks!! This song it tres excellent though! SHe does well in it

  • thanks intrampolina for posting the translation of the french she was speaking. For years i just wondered what she was saying......

  • Does anyone have the entire line spoken any french?

  • i cant get it to play for some reason but from memory basically in french she's saying... the mirror reflecting everything i see it's me the m irror is reflecting, mirror reflecting everything around me. changing until it becomes you, Mmmm i love this mirror ....i only see you in it...

  • Thanks!

  • this beat is hypnotic along with the gorgeous vanity

  • she was very beeautiful!!!!!

  • I agree she's so sexy and fine she is still gorgeous.

  • In my opinion, no one is more beautiful than this woman in her prime!

  • This was my shizzz. The beat is bananas!

  • Miroir qui reflete tous ce que je vois, Miroir tu reflete c'est moi!! J'adore cette miroir!

  • thanks for posting the french, merci beaucoup, i finally know what she's saying

  • What does this mean? lol I took Spanish in high and college. Whatever she's saying, it sounds sexy!

  • it's French....

  • SHE BAD

  • Love this!! remember it like it was yesterday, i wish this was on CD!!!

  • I have this on CD. I have Vanity 6, Mechanical Emotion, Undress, Faraway Eyes, and Pretty Mess. I could make you a copy if you want.

  • could u make me a copy lol zune website sucks...........i cant really fine any back in the day music

  • this song is still awesome!!!!!!!!

  • Still love this track..cheers !!!

  • Maybe its because i was a kid when this song came out but listening to it now it seems she could have benefitted from a vocal coach she probably could have been a bigger singer if she had better production and a really good vocal coach and left the drugs alone

  • and don't forget Paula Abdul. Rush? Ugh. That song was played during Quiet Storm and I almost shot the radio.

  • I never knew the words exactly. I didnt' know that Vanity could write. This was a neat song... I have both of her motown solo projects on CD. They were import. I wish the US would remaster them and release them.

  • I never heard this song. I was nuthin but a little kid in the 80s.

  • has any1 got this song plz????

  • I have the Skin on Skin album with Under the Influence, and Animals, etc.

  • hi,i sent u a private msg....

  • Does anyone know the French words??? That's tight and I wanna know what she's saying! lol

  • THE SHIZZNIT.

  • I still have this LP with the shrink wrap on it...this is the best song from the record, but others were good too. The 80's were the shyt... Check out my profile,especially the women :)

    ERIE rules....actually it sucks....lol

  • Damn 25 years later this is still HOT!!!!

  • Vanity is the most underrated 80's pop star, forreal.

  • THIS WAS THE JAM BACK IN THE DAY!!!! Still sounds great til this day! Check out Morris Day on supporting vocals!!!
