Sly & The Family Stone - Jane Is A Groupee Lyrics

Great band. Everyone is capable of singing and playing an instrument.

Psyhodelic funk rock))

A lot of people says that MJ got inspired from this song for dirty Diana. But nobody know that MJ recorded a song called “Jane is a groupee” too! The MJ song has a faster beat and is much more powerful vocally.

@Lounis Production Good info bro. Greetings from Chile.

heavy fuzzy tremolo guitar@ 1:20

This if one of my favourite S&FS songs

I'd like to meet you then. This is not your average music

Ever so cool tune! They wrote what they were living.

This song is clean!  Someone told me MJ most likely used this song as inspiration when putting together Dirty Diana. I've noticed both the hooks are very very similar, the songs are talking about the same type of woman, and the drum kick intro is identical. Hmm... Hard to say MJ's team never heard this song.

In any event, they are both great songs.

You could be right... I don't know if many people remember this, but Sly recorded for Epic Records as did MJ, and MJ is a 50% owner of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, which I believe Sly's songs are part of.

Moon chez lui !

@SamBlob yeah i think he was influenced bu them.

@ungodlyacts ...and I think Michael Jackson might have taken some lyrics from Sly Stone:

"She's got a thing for the guys in the band,"
("She likes the boys in the band, she knows when they come to town.")
"Every musician's biggest fan."
(Every musician's fan after the curtain comes down.")

It'd be a small rip, but it looks like a rip nonetheless.

SamBlob I'd say no doubt almost but like was noted both great songs. It seems like a nod from MJ to SFS but I know musicians want redit and cash for their work. I'm not a pro just a good listener and don't know either band well. I was finding out who played the incredible guitar riffs on video of Dirty Dianna which unlike most MJ songs stirs the beast in me. That fkn guitar player is a savage. Beautiful shit to me and the way whoever it was swirling around with that guitar in all black in the video has every rock move ever in this one cut. Is that Steve Stevens?

she claps her hands with out doubt has no idea what the song about.....

excellent song! i second that emotion; thank you!

holy shit. great track. Oh No ripped it with Roc C.
