200 Balloons, a great B-side for Prince...that very HARD beat, the sampled guitars, the way the song goes bezerk in the end (these background vocals sounding like frogs on acid...lol)... an overlooked gem in my opinion

A hot track that I never get tired of. I should put that on tonight.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

at 2:00 in:

"Poets, Life has just begun.
Rave, Un2 the Joy yall....Fantastic!"

Then again at the end at 4:25 he starts saying "Rave":

I wanna be your busy bee, I wanna be your busy bee. Come on queen.
Rave Rave Rave Rave Rave

4:43
"Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, Rave"

It's there in computer voice biggrin I had no idea what he was saying until I heard he was going to release an album by that name and then it clicked. I liked Rave but Prince missed a grand opportunity to fuck shit up musically with that album title.

I have some kind of weird ass rave song. i don't know if it's a Batman or Rave out take or what, but there are these distorted voice samples all through the song, and prince yelling "RAVE" through it. What song is this?

I was afraid to say I loved this song, but now that you have spoken up, I will be brave. Yes Yes Yes I love this song! I don't care that the beat is the same as Batdance, it still kicks ass IMO headbang
