Todd, I have the Baduism cd and the "mmm hmm" is assigned to track 1 which is the rimshot intro. "On And On" is track 2 and it does not start with "mmm hmm" and does include "God damnit" at 1:13. So what I call the LP version in the database is the version found on th Baduism cd with no "mmm hmm". What I am calling the 45 version is the "clean" version mentioned above on the commercial cd single and that does include the "mmm hmmm" and no "God damnit".]]> Sat, 22 May 2010 17:25:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5200&PID=26578&title=on-on-erykah-badu#26578 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5200&PID=26554&title=on-on-erykah-badu#26554 Author: Todd Ireland

Can anyone verify if the "mmm hmm" appears at the very beginning of "On and On" on the Baduism CD (Universal Records 53027)? If so, that would make it the official "LP version", which would mean the track on the Urban Grooves disc is the LP version but missing the opening "mmm hmm".]]> Thu, 20 May 2010 22:28:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5200&PID=26554&title=on-on-erykah-badu#26554 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5200&PID=23890&title=on-on-erykah-badu#23890 Author: aaronk

The "Mid-bass Edit" is interesting, Jim. This song is VERY bass-heavy, which would typically make it sound quieter on most radio stations, even after running through a compressor. I wonder if the label toned down the bass to make it more playable on the air.]]> Mon, 21 Sep 2009 07:16:30 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5200&PID=23890&title=on-on-erykah-badu#23890 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5200&PID=23886&title=on-on-erykah-badu#23886 Author: Todd Ireland

Todd, I don't have the promo CD single you found on the Internet, but Universal sent us a "cut-out commercial CD single" that looks very similar to your listed tracks, and here are the particulars:

Erykah Badu-"On & On" (UDS-56002)
1-Clean Version (listed & actual 3:47) (with "Mmm Hmm")
2-Album Version (listed & actual 3:47) (with "Mmm Hmm")
3-Acapella (listed & actual 3:47)
4-Instrumental (listed 3:47; actual 3:46)
5-(Four other album snippets)

However, I do also have one 2-track promo CD single for this song, featuring seemingly different versions, and here are those details:

Erykah Badu-"On & On" (U5P-1150)
1-Mid-bass Edit (listed & actual 3:47) (with "Mmm Hmm")
2-Dance Mix (Radio Edit) (listed 3:50; actual 3:47) (a "Mmm Hmm" is first heard at the :03 mark of this version)]]> Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:33:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5200&PID=23885&title=on-on-erykah-badu#23885 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5200&PID=23866&title=on-on-erykah-badu#23866 Author: Todd Ireland

I have a version of Erykah Badu's "On & On" on my Promo Only Mainstream Radio subscription CD series that's billed as the "Clean Version" and runs 3:45. I compared it to the song as it appears on the Urban Grooves various artist CD (UTV 314545253) to try to determine what the differences are. What immediately strikes me is the "Clean Version" opens with Badu quickly saying "Mmm hmm" before the music kicks in, while the version on Urban Grooves does not have the "Mmm hmm" and immediately starts with the music. The two versions are otherwise identical except the "Clean Version" removes the word "God" from the verse: "___ damnit I'mma sing my song" at the 1:13 mark and removes the f-word at 3:30. (Interestingly, the "Clean Version" leaves in the word "ass" at 3:06.)

A quick internet search finds that a promo CD single release of "On & On" contains the following tracks:

1) Clean Version
2) Album Version
3) Acapella Version
4) Instrumental Version

If someone who has this CD could pass along the pertinent run time info, it would be very much appreciated.

Meanwhile, back to the intro... Does anyone know if the album and single contain the "Mmm hmm" at the very beginning?]]> Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:51:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5200&PID=23866&title=on-on-erykah-badu#23866
