The Max - why I hate it

Im sure peeps here will relate to this...Dont get me wrong, this track is fonky...
But its totally ruined by the way it ends. Prince ends the song and makes it sound like a jingle for a hambuger ad. Pity. Cos it sure be fonky fonky fonky
Pity about the end tho.

Giv it another spin... it feels like coitus interruptus. Song needed an extended fonky outro but suddenly ends sounding like a MacDonalds commercial
I'll say it again, what a pity

No, Im referring to what happens immediately after the riff stops and then we get the lame "this is the max"... kinda like announcing the latest hamburger now being served down the local drive-thru...You're left hovering... no payload...

The end music is the same as it is throughout. It is just repetitious and it ends abruptly. If it is an ad for anything it'd be Pepsi Max.

Owww, Prince saying the title of the song as an end is lame? It never bothered me much.

I played this at my party last week and funnily enough it got all the people dancing... din't play it all the way through to the end tho, it just ruins it for me
A remix of this might make me REALLY love this cut tho... it is a potential killer

Actually, The Max is one of my guilty pleasure Prince songs.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Tony M being on it kinda made the song for me!!!

Going to the Max can be an excellent McDonalds commercial...After all they are into the farm animals, as well as the Farmer's crops....I wouldn't use McDonalds...as a negative term, They own the Golden Arches...as well as being the first fast food chain to do something about calorie counting for their customers...and going onto providing salads....I am curious that if you did love the ending of "The Max..." what restaurant would you choose to reinforce your comment?
