Thanks, but are you sure that isn't a cover of the sampled tune? The sample has male voices, too, and the female voices sound different.

Check out the first twenty or so posts on this thread. Has ILM ever been that collectively excited upon hearing a new song for the first time? It makes me smile.

I remember hearing the song and being all "ho hum, I guess she won't top Get Ur Freak On" and then being kind of surprised by this thread a few days later.

Give me all your telephone numbers so I can call you.If your girlfriend is behaving badly then call me over.Let's not have sex on the bed; lay me on your sofa.Call before you come, I need to shave my pubic hair.

Huh, dunno why, but I always thought "If you got a big [elephant noise], let me search ya," was "If you got a big TRUNK, let me search ya." Like, trunk as in car trunk, meaning butt (as in junk in the trunk), plus also the clever elephant pun. But I suppose "If you got a big penis, let me search ya" makes more sense, or at least simpler sense.

Yeah, I got it. But I always thought of car trunk for some reason. Over (under?) thinking it, of course.

"You love the way my butt moves.Keep your eyes on my buttAnd think you can handle my butt.Take my thong off and my butt starts moving fast."
^^^ lacks a bit of poetry.

been thinking... Missy's string of hits around this time, as well as songs like Justin Timberlake's Rock Your Body, were the reason for that whole nu wave of Poptimism in the early '00s, weren't they?
but in hindsight, a lot of Pop/RnB of that time seems unusually inventive/innovative, so it could be argued that a lot of it was being appreciated/championed for borderline Rockist reasons... I'm thinking of that "Pop/RnB/Mainstream Hip Hop are the most innovative areas of music out there right now" argument that was being made (which prob couldn't be made now imo)
not to open up the Popist/Rockist can of worms, just realizing how good Pop got for a moment there - but that it ticked a lot of the Rockist boxes as well
