Monáe, Janelle - Take A Byte Lyrics

Wow, on second listen, I still stand by my first impression on this. It really reminds me of Stevie Wonder's Living for the City. I love it!

The progression somewhat reminds me of Electric Feel by MGMT, and the intro Africa by Toto.

Prince harry

🔥🔥

Sugar blood levels are on the nine thousands! Keep it coming!

The rhytm looks like MGMT Eletric Felling!

Take a bite crunch!!!!!

This is what a banquet full of fattening food sings to me when I'm trying to go on a diet LOL

Je pense à toi très fort 💪

Why does the song beat remind me of the zolas knot in my heart?

Reminds me of Electric Feel by MGMT.

This is the best song I've heard in many years.

Sappho would be proud

*I WOOOON'T TELLL*

This sounds a lot like Red hot chilli peppers “roller coaster of love”

Can't wait to buy this on vinyl <3

ok miss 1999 enjoy your flavor of sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I. LOVE. THIS!

one of my favorite songs of all time! i am going to drop a comment every time i listen to it

I Love your videos you have a good time with your family and friends. From Jaylah Janee White

they need to put cupcakke CPR and vagina to this beat

Ear-gasm 🎼

I’m digging the retro vibe and this song is 🔥🔥🔥

Came here for solace and safe weirdness after the 2019 Grammys.....when will they all see? I’m searching for whatever, obviously

This is basically like "Rollercoaster of Love" at a slower BPM.

I keep going back to 2:48. The whole song is amazing, but everything after is AMAZING

3:43 is my favourite bit

Nice song but sounds an awful lot like MGMT Electric Feel

As I'm older than you I get another influences, homages, whatever you want to call them: the keyboard riff that goes and goes again sounds to me to "We don't need another hero" by Tina Turner; some bass parts reminds me to "Illusion" by Imagination. 80s soul pop gems

I love this song so much ughhh😍🤤🤤🤤

Janelle Monáe & Daft Punk = SecXXI Music Perfection

Hate im just now listening to the whole album. This shit is dope🔥

I hear King in there. Alot of their sound is in this.

Reminds me heavily to Jackson And His Computer Band. Is there any connection here?
Ok Google...

I feel like I should be riding a dragon made of orchids while listening to this song 🤩

ITS SO GOOD HOLY FR

Heard this is river island today. Tried so hard to catch the lyrics. Searched on Spotify and have listened to it like 30 times lol

It is the greatest shame that her most incredible and interesting tunes don't get noticed on her albums - this is 100% the most expertly crafted and damn catchy song on the album!!!

Singing Angels don't come better than Janelle

Sounds like a 80s pop song

i cant get enough

My favorite track from this amazing album

hella good song

She needs a song with seraya

So slick!

Yess the future funk sound is gorgeous 😍

I think I just like how Monae just sings the song no vocal acrobatics she keeps it simple simple and clean clean is good this song is on repeat all day

Remnants of Stevie Wonder in this and you got a little prince mixing super dope

WAY too obsessed with this song

BMC.KingOfQueens.Datpiff.com they need  a reality check lost in Elton Brand N Milli Vanilli.ecxcept 4 me.

single ladies I love the muffin's n cakes all different flavors.

epic song! and beautiful fantastic sexy album! can't wait to see you in September Janelle! :D

Toto's Africa vibes with the intro

Will be seeing Miss Monae for the third time on 8/5! Probably the only artist I've had to see any chance I get. This song is definitely my favorite on Dirty Computer. So deliciously naughty and raw, I love the groove. Definitely my new makeout jam. haha.

Pretty nice 💖💖✨✨. Not my favorite but def nice!

finally getting to listen to this

I Love this Song

* MGMT ELECTRIC FEEL *

Brasiiiilll 🇧🇷

One of the best albums ever made, all you need is ears.

Very Good Album Best Artist Alive!! Janelle Monae👍👍👍👍Fuc Nikki Minaj She's Trash👎👎👎

Okayyyy i see you miss Monae 👀

This is the raddest album of summer 2018. I can't . Get. Enough. Of. It. 💖💖💖💖💖

I'm so obsessed with this song.

totally phil collins vibes...genesis af. dope.

I love her music it feels like an extension of Prince. One of his children....

I love this song but it reminds me heavily of "Dreams" by Beck. Love both.

I can't get enough of this song!

Does the intro remind you of toto-Africa with a mix of prince?I can't be the only one with a hint of some other 80's band

i love the africa by toto influence in here

Is that a "Pastime Paradise" reference I hear at the end?

This is heavily influenced by MGMT - Electric Feel. Superb song!

Put this on the radio

hey I'm glad shes free

Why does this sound so good? The production is masterful.

Why isn't this on spotify anymore?!

Eh. I feel this one is a bit flat. Same with I Got the Juice

Thundercat

Great track, why on earth has this not been released as a single, the singles so far sound like generic hip hop tracks, but this is funky asf.

This is midway between some funk and some disco, flavoured with smooth R&B vocals. I feel like, if there's ever a video to go with this song, it should involve a very gay, very sparkly, afrofuturistic roller rink on a busy night... and waacking, if this is fast enough for waacking.

LOOOVEE THIS VIBE

Has a cool David Bowey feel

I love how everybody hear different influences in this: toto, prince, madonna, stevie. All mixed up in this little great artist named Monae.

So true. She's a high-speed blender of talent!

I'm not the kind of girl you take home to your mama now
I tell you no lies (I tell no lies)
Your code is programmed not to love me but you can't pretend
Oh, what a surprise
Maybe it's lust maybe it's love maybe it never ends
Ooh, say your goodbyes (say 'em now)
Play in my hair and nibble there all on my mocha skin
Yeah, just take a byte

Take a byte (just take a byte)
Help yourself (help yourself)
It's alright (it's alright)
I won't tell (it feels so good when you nibble on it)
Take a byte (just take a byte)
Help yourself (you look so good just help yourself)
Don't think twice (don't think twice)
I won't tell

My random access memory wants you to come again
No, don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye)
I saw my therapist, she thinks you are my magic sin
Oh, maybe she's right (maybe she's right)
Well I'll just lick an angel just to purify again
Ooh, angels are fun (they're so fun)
So dress me up I'll like it better if we both pretend
Yeah, make love 'til we're numb

Take a byte (just take a byte)
Help yourself (just go ahead and help yourself)
It's alright (it's alright)
I won't tell (just take a byte)
Take a byte (just take a byte)
Help yourself (it feels so good just help yourself)
Don't think twice (don't think twice)
I won't tell

Take a byte (just take a byte)
Help yourself (help yourself)
It's alright (it's alright)
I won't tell (it's alright, it's alright, it's alright)

Take a byte (oh won't you just take a byte)
Help yourself (go on and help yourself)
It's alright
I won't tell

Just take a byte
You look so good just help yourself
It's alright
Take a little byte
Take a little byte
Take a little byte

Prince is proud 💜

❤🌹

I cannot put my finger on what song she sampled if anyone knows the name please tell me. That intro is definitely from an older song.

Amethyst Edmond mgmt eletric feel
