I'll post an earlier Timex S.C concert @ the State Fair when we had a Live Band that was actually playing the songs, but this is a nice video especially for the Bay history of pre-rap hip hop whatever.

I see. Thanks for the history lesson.

[teemack]

yes---producers foster& mcelroy were originally slated to re-do and produce the track for "thinkin bout ya" just like they did rumors. they started re-writing and re-arranging the track on their own thinking it would go to mike marshall and timex, but the group opted not to do business with jay king, who hired foster & mcelroy. so they kept the foster & mcelroy version, wrote new lyrics and melody, and "why you treat me so bad" was born.

[Rashaan Butler]

Now that you mention it, there are some similarities in the beat and the lyrical content between the two songs.

[teemack]

this is the parent song to "why you treat me so bad" by club nouveau.
