Why God Why? Aubrey O’Day Covers Eddie Murphy’s ‘Party All The Time’
// August 3rd, 2009 // Music
And the question is WHY????? Why would you mess with perfection? With something so perfect? I FULL-ON disagree with Blender magazine’s (RIP!) assertion that Eddie Murphy’s 1985 cult classic, “Party All The Time” is one of the worst songs of all time.
Party on, Eddie. Party on.
“Party All The Time” is one of the BEST songs (of 1985) because it featured a blonde Rick James and his love of the leather tuxedo, celebrated Eddie Murphy’s love of handclap synth effect, and the song was recorded in TOTAL earnest. There was nothing ironic about “Party All The Time”! Unfortunately. Which is what makes it so great.
So Aubrey O’Day, why’d you have to go eff with it? Shannon Bex has the right idea — go country! Or just go topless (again). But DO NOT go where Eddie’s gone before, my friend.
Watch Eddie Murphy’s “Party All The Time” video (woah, what up with that sesssual tension between Rick and Eddie? Just sayin’), and listen to Aubrey O’Day’s version. I’m beside myself right now. Who do I talk to about this? Diddy?
