"Pray" was the third single released from MC Hammer's third album, ''Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em''. Produced by MC Hammer himself, the song heavily samples Prince's hit song, "When Doves Cry", the first and one of the few songs legally sanctioned by Prince to incorporate samples of one of his compositions. The track also samples Faith No More's "We Care a Lot". "Pray" became Hammer's biggest hit on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, where it peaked at number two (kept from the top spot by Mariah Carey's "Love Takes Time"), becoming a Top-20 hit in nine countries. The track helped make ''Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em'' the number one album of the year. In the U. S., the song was certified gold on November 26, 1990, with sales over 500,000 copies. This hit single (accompanied with music videos) became one of Hammer's most popular songs and has appeared on several compilation albums, including ''Greatest Hits'', ''Back 2 Back Hits'' and ''The Hits''. It also appeared in ''Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em: The Movie'' (1990). "Pray" was repeated 147 times during the song, setting the record for an ''American Top 40'' hit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=American Top 40 with Shadoe Stevens )〕 ==Track listing== #"Pray" (Slam The Hammer Mix) - 8:01 (aka Maxi-Single Remix) #"Pray" (Slam The Hammer Piano Dub) - 5:26 #"Pray" (Jam The Hammer Mix) - 5:00 #"Pray" (Hit 'Em Hard Mix) - 5:25 #"Pray" (Nail 'Em Down Chant) - 4:56 #"U Can't Touch This" (LP Version) - 4:15 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pray (MC Hammer song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
