Hmm sounds familiar

Recently stumbled upon this Stevie Wonder song and immediately went “hold on a minute, that sounds familiar.” Let me know if y’all know what I’m talking about, I’m sure you will haha

Gotta be a bit of an homage to Atomic Dog, eh?

Well that, but I was more hearing “she did the freak!” Significantly slower but ya know

That’s P-Funk turned to G-Funk and back the Stevie Funk.

That’s actually the perfect description :joy:

That’s what I thought, too. It reminded me more of the Snoop/Dre sound, which of course came from P-funk.

It’s strange, I’ve heard that Stevie song before and it never hit me about the similarity. But now I hear it. :grin:

It also features George’s buddy Mr. Purple Man on guitar :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

As a lifelong Prince obsessive and Stevie fan that song is amazing…but, uh, I wondered/worried if other people thought it was shite.

I wondered if less cultured people would find it a bit desperate.

Not in here though. You lads know yer onions.

Personally, when he says Prince pop it! And the guitar comes in…ding-a-ling

Check the little panting noise at the start. Both big fans of the P - especially the wee man, god rest his soul.
