"Somebody Else's Guy" is another one I would've expected to place in the top 40! Such a good tune with great lyrics, inspired performance by Brown, awesome sonics... No wonder George Michael sampled that synth riff on "Too Funky".

"Somebody Else's Guy" is great, but I've exceeded some sort of maximum listening count, so it no longer does anything for me at all.
― mike t-diva, Tuesday, 9 May 2017 09:00 (seven years ago) link
Because Let The Music Play and Give Me Tonight are basically the same song and that song is one of the greatest dance songs ever made I had to vote for them very high and right next to each other in my ballot, glad this one made it too

Wow, if even the fifth best single from SOTT made it this high, I guess half of the top 40 will be Prince tunes? I hope not, cos that would be boring.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 9 May 2017 13:30 (seven years ago) link
Very possibly. I honestly thought about leaving him off my ballot altogether or only giving him a single vote but I think I ultimately gave him almost 10% of my votes.

Okay, maybe the "Vicki Vale" section has, but that always felt like Prince tacked a whole different song in the middle of an awesome house track (and later reworked it into "Electric Chair"). Thankfully the remix single does the right thing and separates into two different tracks.

― sexualing healing (crüt), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 13:48 (seven years ago) link
Cool, didn't expect this one to place too! Pretty much all of D-Train's singles (except for that one cover song) follow the formula they came upon with "You're the One for Me", but what a great formula it is!

I was joking about 'Batdance' btw. I don't think any songs that directly reference summer blockbusters made it onto my list.

I love songs that are such a part of the firmament that it's easy to forget that someone still had to write and record them. Kool & the Gang might as well have written "Happy Birthday."

I was just thinking this yesterday upon hearing one of the songs on my ballot. There was a time when this thing didn't exist, and then someone actually made this happen. And then it became this thing which is difficult to imagine never having existed. Creation, it's a trip, man.
