I love both. I love the fact that Prince can take any song and make it new and fresh. The words are what gets me.
"Oh baby this must be temptation cuz I can't get you outta my mind"
"I try and I try but when I close my eyes I see your face everytime."
"If you ever say those beautiful words to me if I wanna be your fantasy....yes.....I wanna dance....I don't wanna give you my love". At that point I'm screaming give it....give it all. lol

There are two diff versions, and the 3121 version, IMO, is highly superior.

I actually prefer the one on The Chocolate Invasion - because of the vulnerability in his voice.

The version on 3121 is overwrought and bitter, in my opinion.

I do admit that his vocals on the choclate invasion is better.

I like the live production ot the 3121 version better...and the screaming rant
at the end seals the deal for me... But i do see your point...good obsevation

Don't get me wrong...I do love the piano on the 3121 version.

My theory has always been that he wrote the song when he was falling in love with Manuela. He didn't want to see her dance because dancing would remind him of Mayte and everything they'd been through. Regardless of whose "fault" anyone thinks it was...he was hurting.

The 3121 version starts off with the same quality in the vocal...as if he's reflecting on that time. Only now...the relationship is ending. It's like he's saying, "I don't want to see you dance...I don't want to hold your hand...because you're leaving me and I still love you. How can you not love me?"

The two versions are bookends on that relationship. And to me, falling in love is always prettier than breaking up.

wow good post..in my life right now i can relate to the uglier side of things.
I rather listen to the the pain and scorn of heart break than...finding love.

As a musician I realised that when ur heart is hurting. it brings something
else out out you...it's like a therapy session...a release.

but i never looked at this song in that way. I appreciate ur opinion. caus it opened my eyes a bit.

You aren't alone. I don't like the song either. It's not the worst song in the world, but I never have gotten into the song.

I like the orginal, 3121 version just seems like prince is trying to much, and it comes over sounding silly!

I love this Prince. I love that he is trying hard and letting it all hang out, but I'm a hopefull romantic. I think it's nice to see Prince undone in his love for a girl. The newer rants are Here & 4Ever.

Hated the NPGMC version but much to my surprise, loved the 3121 version.

And now for a cup of tea.

Yep.

The one on The Chocolate Invasion is slower. I like both versions.
