Another Lonely Christmas #8 on EW's 100 Greatest Christmas Bummers!

8. Prince, ''Another Lonely Christmas''
Not only is his girlfriend gone, not only is she dead, but she died...on December 25! (Of pneumonia, or strep — he's not sure.) Of course, this being a Prince song, there's a verse devoted to fondly remembering her naked. cool

Yeah, I saw that too! It's weird how it's #5 in the issue but #8 on EW.com. Funky old school picture, huh?

"Another Lonely Christmas" Is so beautiful and sad...The song gives me that.."Seasons in the Sun," feeling.

Last Night, I spent another lonely Christmas...Darlin' Darlin' U shoulda been there.~Prince.

Aaaahhh, the pure creativity of the man - a song like this as a B-side. Must dust off the 12inch tonight... smile

As it is Christmas time, can I please have all the 12 inches remastered in a nice CD-box PLEASE. I was a good boy this year ;=)[b]

Since he doesn't celebrate Christmas anymore, it must be some kind of evil-pagan thing for the jehovah witness, I guess he must be ashamed of this moving song now.

It's a great song, but not really sure if it's props! It's saying it's almost at the top for a MISERY-inducing Christmas song.
