Could you be...


237. The Artist Formerly Known as Prince - "Beautiful" (from the Beautiful Experience EP, NPG Records/Bellmark, 1994)

Yes, this is a house version of "the Most Beautiful Girl in the World", and yes, it is absolutely amazing. I ran across it just this morning thanks to Tuomas on this ILM thread and I already feel completely sure that science has again been correct in placing it here. The groove complements Prince's harmonies flawlessly. It's easy to fuck up a pop song in the effort to make it a dancefloor banger (see blogs, 2007-present), but man, I don't even know what else to say. This is the opposite of that. This makes me so happy.
