Beatbox ft. Rael - Let The Music Play... pretty known and one of my favorite beat mixes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Em27 (talk • contribs) 06:41, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else hear hints of Madonna's "Into the Groove" in this song? Specifically, the beat, and the 5 notes that get repeated throughout the song(right before Madonna says "I'm waiting")? 202.156.14.103 (talk) 16:06, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This song was first, so it should be said the other way around.—Iknow23 (talk) 01:02, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this article could be re-written by someone who's not totally in love with Shannon. Just a suggestion. 84.198.246.199 (talk) 02:12, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In a 2008 interview in Webster Hall, NYC with whom I believe is Rap Entertainment, Shannon talks more about the history of the song, specifically that the lyrics may have been written by a Ms Anne Godwin as a rap song, and Barbosa introduced it to her after her death.
