Sorry...I can't muster any.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

The song is still growing on me-the video ban really killed this song  | |

His best pop single of the 00s decade. Period.
Killer chorus, niiiice melody, and some retro-Parade vibe that's really cool. When I listened to it the first time back in 2004, I thought: "Ok, Prince is back, this is truly a comeback, this is a really strong single". 
5 Stars; best track of Musicology, and waaaaay better than anything on Planet Earth / LotusFlower...  | |

When I first heard it I liked it instantly without really knowing what it was about. The lyrics concept and idea are first class. The music matches well. It's simple, organic and the vocals portray that. 10/10 from me.

Best song on Musicology. Deep, political lyrics, more social commentary going on than in most of his other political songs, great video, great vocal delivery, very contemporary lyricswise, not too overblown and overproduced like a lot of other newer songs, and it somehow reminds me a bit of Dolphin.
The chorus and title could be better but it is a great song. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

It was one of my favorites on "Musicology", but it's blown away by a much but rocking Prince track, "A Million Days". | |
