Under-appreciated song Appreciation Thread - "Jughead"

you know this song isn't that bad.

sure it's kinda dorky...but it's alsoo got a good measure of funk in it. plus Prince pulls off a decent humourous rap.

i like it. always have. boxed

anyone else?

Oh, shit!
That must be one of the worst songs he's ever made. And certainly the worst song on Diamonds and Pearls!

Surely not his best lyrics, but that song is FUNKY AS HELL!!! A great, great jam!

Oh, and the title for the worst song on D&P goes to "Push" imo...

Aw c'mon, not some of his best lyrics? How can you say that? smile

"Don't worry if yer lookin' silly
Look over here at me, workin' for Willie
Gettin' busy in a corner,
holdin' my own-uh,
You think that I'm frozen?
I'm just posin'
Clockin' a freak in a lo-pro
(ya know, discreet)
Baby's laughin' but before you know it or even say
she's on the dancefloor, kickin' the Jughead!"

I mean, it's no Horny Pony, but what is? (Jack be nimble, whoo!! Yer doin' it, see...)

smile

THIS SONG IS ABOUT DANCING AND IN NO WAY ENDORSES ACTS OF EXTRAMARITAL SEX. (one of his best lyrics ever, that one!)
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamine.

...Jughead...I like the end. biggrin

Kidding, it's not a favorite but it fits with the rest of the album. there are song's that I dislike more so I really can't bash it. (Style, Courtin' Time, Sexy Dancer to name a few)

The complete D&P album is a jewel, and without Jughead its incomplete...

Not really.
That's when you really see it's a good album.

I've never had a problem with Jughead , its funky and fun and at least it has a decent enjoyable chorus , unlike some of Prince's recent work eg Cinnamon Girl , Satisfied , Fury etc etc
