"Fishnet," Morris Day (3/12/88)
Well, hello, Morris! The lead singer of the Time had heretofore never made it to the top of the charts with his former (and future) band, so what a delight to welcome him to #1 with his first, and best, solo single. As absurd as it is, that is - and it's definitely absurd. Morris spends "Fishnet" furiously mixing fishing and hosiery metaphors. I'm not kidding. Fortunately, his atti-ma-tude helps get this one over, as does (more significantly) the production assistance of his former bandmates (surprise!) Jam & Lewis. This sounds almost exactly as you'd expect the Time to sound circa '88, complete with a Jesse Johnson-esque guitar solo. Which means you're damned right if you'd think it sounds pretty sweet. Guilt-free (well, mostly guilt-free) funk-lite doesn't get much better. A-
