this is actually way worse than I remembered (and have always fantasized about). It’s not terrible, it just isn’t good. It is still fun to sing “party all the time party all the time party all the time” over and over with my friends, but I don’t want to actually hear the song when I do that.

But to actually answer the question, I don’t think Diddy using the beat means it will be ruined. It might actually turn out pretty great. Dare I say it will be better than the original song? Yup, I went there.

Ok, first off, how do the two voting options differ? I was trying to vote for both!

How soon does everyone forget that Eddie Murphy had a more animated musical history before "Party All The Time"? Ok Ok, it was a "comedy" album. But I have very fond memories of "Boogie In Your Butt"

Eddie Murphy basically allowed himself to be a Rick James protogé for a song, and that was that, which is strange because Murphy's acting career was just taking off, while James's career was just falling off the crest.

And yes, the video is genius in a Lionel Richie "Hello" kinda way. The climax of the video is certainly Rick James's nod of approval. Then you knew you were watching the making of the best pop song ever.

I can listen to this song with the same frequency my girl likes to party.

I don’t think “Party All The Time” is all that bad, I even like it, but I know we can all agree that if the rumors are true Diddy will find a way to ruin it forever.

The best part is is when Rick James says to Eddie, “Put your phones on , man”. That’s producing….

Seriously. You can't hate this song while watching the video. Everyone's sooo confident about the music genius taking place that their bodies can't even contain it. Watch me clap! Watch me rooock! I'm in a music studio!

Now "whus up wit u" (or whatever) is the video we need to be focusing on.

It’s the video that makes this song. I love how everyone in it acts like they’re hearing THE HOTTEST HIT OF THE CENTURY.

Nothing but love for it. It’s a karaoke staple.

Thanks to KROQ, I had “Sister Christian” stuck in my head ever since my commute this morning. I sat down at my desk and hoped Idolator would take my mind off Night Ranger, only to have this stinking pile of synths and coke worm its way into my ears. C’mon, man! It’s Friday! Cut me some slack…

I've loved it ever since I heard it in some 80's mix. And I sadly love it both ironically and with the fervent passion of all things awesomely bad. And really, is that not which what all songs aspire to be? To suck so hard that they enter into an alternate uiniverse and become a bizarro hit?

PS: Fuck Diddy! First thing I'm going to note him when I'm his assisstant.

Not even gonna front. I love this song.

My favorite part of the video is when the entourage acts like it's the best song they've ever heard.

I have always loved this song, it’s as catchy as hell and the weakness of Eddie’s voice actually works for this song.

I love this song in a completely un-ironic fashion, and it disturbs me that puffy is going to potentially ruin it. Added to that, I blame Ma$e for the pop-rap trend of rhyming a word with the same word. I’m pretty sure he was the first example of that. HEY PUFFY! Leave those hits alone….

It truly isn't any worse than late-period Rick James, except that Eddie clearly can't sing.

However, Diddy needs to be shot for sampling it.

I’ve never understood why this song horrifies/is mocked by so many people. Is it wonderful? No. But it was just as good as most other songs on MTV and the radio at the time, and better than some mentioned above.
