and the song is Classic, Klassic and any other way you wanna spell it, always makes me smile and ppl dance when I play it
and Alex in NYC is right in saying Neneh generally is brilliant
btw, has anyone actually come out hating the song yet?

And being Neneh has done stuff with The Slits, and Gangstarr was featured on Homebrew also, we really could do a six degrees of Neneh thing.

This is sort of creepy, because I got both of these songs from the iTunes store at the same time a couple of months ago - I had both of them stuck in my head and hadn't head either in years.

I think of Buffalo Stance as a urban hippie-esque dance song based mostly around samples that tried to cross over to the Hip-Hop crowd, but came off as a more black version of Groove is in the Heart.
I also differentiate greatly between mid 80's and late 80's urban music thanks to the invention of Emu's sp1200.

Oran "Juice" Jones had the crazy gansterrific persona. I think my favorite part of The Rain might be ad libs at the end. "You're just a squirrel looking for nut!"

He produced (or co?) the first Sugababes record, no?
I was obsessed with Neneh during my teenage years. OBSESSED. I would gawk at the cd booklet for an hour while listening to the record...

It takes some courage to do a blank-verse rap like the "Smokin', no cokin'" section, then going all Tracy Ullman with the imitation cockney accents.

on first listen: completely superfluous but my goodwill toward robyn means it's at least not offensive? no idea why she thought slowing it down was a good idea. somehow this is the first time I realized the line was "no style rookie".

― celebrating ten years of constant posting (breastcrawl), Thursday, 3 March 2022 19:17 (two years ago) link
The only way slowing it down makes sense would be if it was slowed waaaaaaaaay down, like 4 times as slow and turning it into a drone poem

this would be a perfectly fine second b-side.

it's ok but no thanks. i've been caning the original lately. that guitar figure in the coda is one of my favorite things about it.

well, i'm listening to the original now. which probably wouldn't have happened today otherwise.

Was excited about the prospect of a new Neneh Cherry album, but I doubt I need this. The Robyn cover, as noted upthread, was meh.
