Ol Skool Company always makes me feel better

I have been feelin' pretty raw lately - finals month in school, plus some generally unfunky vibes goin' around. But it has yet to fail - whenever I listen to Ol Skool Company, I always forget my troubles - anyone else have the same experience?

The new Prince classic! The New Minnie Sound...we can't be beat Suckass.

And what's more - I think Wall Of Berlin is the new "Darling Nikki" - "according to the document she got on the wall...she said, sign your name on the dotted line..." but ...Berlin sounds purer, of course, and that's a good thing.

I call his music my therapy! I listen every day. I have my mp3 on every day to and from work. It makes the journey on the bus a little less depressing! music
Pop Life especially lifts my mood no matter how low I feel.

I know I hold you too tight, but I just can't seem to get close enough

Yep...this is why I think I love Prince's music so much, it is uplifting and positive and so funky...and Pop Life is one of my all time favs too, such a cool beat!

Love the longer versions of course. It's the lyrics too. ''Life it aint real funky, less it's got that pop''. The 'pop' IS this song and thus gives you a funky life making you feel happier and elated!!

Yes, I think the Lotusflow3r set is starting to look like a gem, I've only had it for a few days but seems like his best work for a long, long time.

Love this song. Put a great video to it and a dance remix to the clubs and bam prince would have a major hit again. But he has already moved on.

It's been a while since I've had a Prince song that I want to repeat. The closest thing after that is Guitar from Planet Earth.
