NILE RODGERS - Yum-Yum (3 versions, with rare instrumental)

I am posting 3 versions of this famous song of NILE RODGERS. The 3 versions are wonderful, but I prefer the instrumental version. This song contains what has to be some of Nile's most infamous lyrics:
"poontang, poontang, where you want it..slept all night with my hands on it.. gimme some of that yum-yum before I sleep tonight...".
The bass of BERNARD EDWARDS was probably replaced by the C.S. 80 synthesizer of NILE RODGERS and the drums of TONY THOMPSON was probably replaced by drum patterns of NILE RODGERS in my opinion, but they must be participating in this song as backing vocals.

1) NILE RODGERS - Yum-Yum (Album Version) (5:37)
