Missy Elliott Wants that Nelly Furtado ‘Get Your Freak On Remix’ Officially Released

The millennials are vibing as NPR released Nelly Furtado's Tiny Desk Concert on their YouTube page on May 24, 2024! We hear amazing renditions of her hit's "I'm Like A Bird", "Promiscuous" and Maneater with stories about the songs in between. But then she talked about the story behind the now infamous appearance on the remix of the Missy Elliot hit "Get Your Freak On".

Yes, you heard that correctly. The song never had an official release and currently can't be found on any streaming service but I remember hearing this remix everywhere in the 2000s. After hearing Furtado crush it live (She's still got it btw) fans on X are requesting the official release, including the rap legend herself: Missy Elliot.

Missy gave kudos to Nelly Furtado's performance like the rest of us and when asked to officially release the remix you took matters into her own hands.

I mean she is Missy Elliot so I imagine her tagging the source can lead to results. Listening to Nelly Furtado sing this reminds me of the old school days of mixed CDs with the latest songs that you would trade in the lunchroom. Spotify & Apple Music didn't exist. Thank you Missy & Nelly Furtado for your contributions to my nostalgia

SET LIST: “Say It Right” “Explode” “Powerless (Say What You Want)” “Promiscuous” “All Good Things (Come To An End)” “I'm Like A Bird” “Get Ur Freak On (Remix)” “Love Bites” “Eat Your Man” “Give It To Me” “Maneater”

My review on this complete Tiny Desk is that it is Grade A. Furtado disappeared from the public eye and raised a family which I can't blame her but the game needs a powerhouse like her back full force. Will it lead to a tour? I hope so!

I love a movie. The music, the camera angles, the performances, the way it makes you feel. Everything about them just makes the world better. I fell in love with movies at a young age. First one I can remember watching regularly was Aladdin.

My mom says after that I was running around the house calling her 'Jafar' whenever she would tell me to do something. A clearly opinionated 3 year old everyone. I was always intrigued by the movies and the process. It didn't matter what kind. I would watch my old video tapes of all kinds of Disney movies and also watch the extra stuff some included and it was normal for my family to see a movie in the theaters.

The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Movie came out just before my 6th birthday. It was a whole event.

I remember first seeing the poster promoting the movie at the old movie theater that used to be at the mall and then they were promoting the movie on commercials for the tv show. I even got to stay up late on a school night (8PM WHAT!) to see the first real trailer. I will tell you my whole world changed seeing something I absolutely loved on day one. We even later ordered it on Pay Per View. Rented the tape from Blockbuster. I owned it on DVD. It's not on digital which is a travesty but even if HBO randomly shows it or it comes on I catch myself watching it. I could probably play it in my head and remember every line.

Movies have a special effect on all of us. It takes you back to an exact moment in time. An age or time of your life that you forget after the years so I'm glad to still have these small connections in time. We put it out to our listeners on the 107.7 The Bounce Facebook Page and were not disappointed. We were looking for your comfort movie or specifically movies you have seen more than 5 times. So this is a list of some of those very rewatchable films/

Iconic. So good that we keep getting these movies. I mean Dinosaurs revolting against being in an Amusement Park is so simple it will always work and be watchable.

Enough said.

Hilarious iconic movie but this line really hit me. R.I.P. John Witherspoon!

Had an overwhelming amount of people list this movie which is crazy because of how long they were but....I get it.

This is an iconic movie for every black household. A mini-series/tv movie. We had the video tape and watched it so many times. Severely underrated.
