Over Like A Fat Rat - Fonda Rae

[lolhey]

Idk, I love this song... all 8+ minutes of it. If any of you have heard "Eric B. Is President" by Eric B. & Rakim they def. take the bassline of the song from Over Like A Fat Rat and also "Keepin' The Faith (Straight Pass)" by De La Soul also samples Over Like A Fat Rat too. Anyways if you have never heard it... here it is.



I love everything about this esp. Fonda's vocals and the arrangement musically.

And yes she is the lady who does the vocals on the Wish's "Touch Me" (all night long).. ie the song Cathy Dennis had a hit with later on down the road.

Love this.

Aye! I got the original "Touch Me (All Night Long)" in one of my crates. That was from late-spring, 1984. And if I'm correct, she is also the vocalist for "Deputy Of Love", from late-1979:

The best song Fonda Rae did.  I like this over "Touch Me (All Night Long)" (though I like that one too although I'm more used to Cathy Dennis's 1991 hit version).
