Wikipedia article
"'Do Me, Baby'" is a 1981 ballad performed by Prince, from his fourth album, 'Controversy'. Although it was credited as being written by him, it is alleged to have been written by his former bassist and childhood friend Andr Cymone. It was released as the third and final US single from the album. It was later included on his 1993 compilation 'The Hits/The B-Sides.' In 1986, the song was notably covered by R&B singer Meli'sa Morgan. It was featured in one of the opening scenes of the 2007 film Rush Hour 3, with Chris Tucker's character singing along while listening to it on his headphones and simultaneously directing traffic with the dance sequences of Michael Jackson.
