Could'a been Salt N Pepa.

Shake your thang, yeah yeah Oh, you're lookin' sweet, baby Owww, I won't tell you how to catch a groove It's my thing, and I'll swing it the way that I feel With a little seduction and some sex appeal It's Friday night, and I just got paid I'm checking out the fella with the high-top fade Moving in closely, ready for the kill Steppin' on a dancefloor, think you're ill But if I guy touch my body I just put him in check I said, "We just met", "We can't do that yet" I'm not a pick-up (no), this ain't a stick up (boy) I'm not stuck up (yeah), and turn to kick up And just rock, baby-pop, don't stop Stick out your butt, and shake what you got

Compare this with what happens with the songs played at the Dem convention.

MacArthur's Park?

Only if you exempt the Weird Al parody "Jurassic Park"

I cannot approve of this attraction

In other words, it’s all about the money.

Once you sell something, you don’t get to say what happens to it anymore.

This is why the late Prince insisted on very tight control over his music in regards to copyrights and public performance rights.

Why aren’t the artists grateful that so many people will be hearing their music that they may have either forgotten or never heard?

You would think these artists would be please about their ancient songs getting massive prime time play. They need to man up, Obama would say, You didn’t write that!
