The Logic Off Topic list

What a coincidence. I took a songwriting class at UCLA in the 80's and instructor was the songwriter of that song - that being his claim to fame. 

I guess Phil is not much of a Prince fan, but I find him to be very innovative ... at least in the 1999 and Purple Rain days ... with the occasional gem mixed with the mountains of self-absorbed, trying-to-hard-to-be-sexy stuff he's turned out since then.

A while back, I produced a new version of the tune "Santa Baby" for a 
commercial. The client (a large national concern) had secured the 
rights to the song, but *NOT* the rights to the arrangement they 
wanted to copy (Ertha Kitt, I believe). We couldn't use the very 
recognizable background male chorus part, and had to invent something 
new that was like it.
