"God Created Woman" appreciation thread

This ballad seems to slip under the radar everytime we talk of great Prince songs.

I believe (IMO) it rates higher than any ballad he released in the 1990's.

Anyone else feeling this song?

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Great song, its really grown on me over time to the point where, along with love to the 9s, it's become one of my favourite tracks on the Symbol album.

He could re-release this song and it would still be popular. It has a timelessness to it that some of his later ballads lack.

That song is my jam right there! I never get tired of it. Pure Prince at his most sensual.
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

It is one of those jewels not known to the general public.
I wonder why it has not had the same career as "adore" on radio.

It would make (don't cringe) a great "Smooth Jazz" remake. A great melody and the song sets a mood.

I always thought it would chart well on adult contemporary stations and jazz stations would probably eat this stuff up.

It is certainly a beautiful song nod

It is a unique song brilliantly written, arranged and composed but it doesn't beat Money Don't Matter Tonight, Somebody's Somebody's or The Most Beautiful Girl In The World.

TMBGITW is overrated (IMO). To many mixes to the song.

Money don't Matter is another personal fave. biggrin

Somebody's Somebody is a good song, but it is missing something.

"God Created Woman'
indeed He did
and She still gets treated
like a piece o Shit.

all the boys with their dicks
thinkin they'z king
that a girls just for bonin
a useful thing

watch out if she's smart
cuz the apes gonna cry
pound his chest
and bleed her dry

and if she's a mother
u best believe
she'll be called dearest
by the ones who deceive

some never got the love
from their own mom u see
dats why the lyrics to this song
means so little to thee and thee and thee

God CReated Woman
Yes indeed He did
best u mind yo manners
b4 she flips yo lid

Ms. Sacredwarrior, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

whats that saying.. sumthin like..' a hit pig will holler ' ?

u aint heard about whats happnin to women in other countries?

r u aware some of them still get their labia chopped off?

that alot r impregnated as early as 12, and their bladders burst when they give birth, so they walk around with urine trailing outta them, and no one wants to know them cuz they smell?

r u educated on the situation in 3rd world countries?

the list of horrors inflicted on women is endless..

may God have Mercy on YOUR soul. I do. I also forgive you for your lack of scope. its an easy mistake to make. heart

Many of us are aware, and what does this have to do with us appreciating the song?
