This melody is a direct rip off of a Kraftwerk song called Computer Love. Go listen to it now! See what I mean?

I'm hearing Prince's "When Doves Cry". (Which would be post-Kraftwerk, anyway).

Prince is part of the "axis of drivel", which includes Michael Jackson and Britney Spears.

I like this song pretty well (6.5-7: see pyro, below), but DY it's not.

Always amazing to me about how many opinions on EC here are based solely on albums he released over 26 years ago. The dead giveaway is when people talk about him being "angry" and "cranky." The truth is, EC is probably one of the nicest, most agreeable, most articulate people in pop today, and the list of diverse collaborators from all fields is testament to the degree of respect with which fellow musicians regard him. Can't sing? One of the great baritone in music today, in my opinion. More emotion and power in that voice than any handful of singers you can name. And I am talking about his work in the past 10 years or so, not 1979.

"Berimbau"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The berimbau is the highly annoying screeching sound a McDonald's milkshake straw creates when a user is trying to suck its contents dry and moves the straw up and down quickly in the hole in the lid. Many localities have recorded homicides and attempted homicides as a result of frequent playing of the berimbnau. Some recording artists have found favor with the ability to annoy listeners while at the same time quickly enjoying a milkshake.


Sorry about the blank post earlier...boss in proximity...

What I meant to say is that the berimbau doesn't sound anything like a Micky D's milkshake straw. That instrument is, in fact, a "guica"...
and it can be heard on Bob Marley's "Could You
Be Loved".
