My first thought was that it sounded like Song Of The Heart and he should have saved it for Happy Feet 2.... After hearing it again I realize that's an insult to Song Of The Heart. Definately the worst, and the only imbarassingly bad, song on the album.

Urgh, what a shit song lol.

Think this will be my one and only listen of it.

Had to turn it down when my dad came in the room, was just plain embaressing.

By far the best comparison I have read about any of the tracks. I dont mind it, its good but I think this and the last track could have been left off possibly for b-sides or....... Yo Gabba Gabba!!! Nice!

call me crazy motherfucker but i don't mind this track, definately not the worst, that prize goes to Walk In Sand, but overall a pretty solid album. I Like!

yes, I wanted to play it to my friend and was like

" uhm, this is a new song by prince, but it's not a song you should take to serious, I think it sounds better when..."

she: " a children's song?"

and then I just switched it off..too embaressing

I played another song for her... and everything was fine again.

Again as so often, I tried to express regret that I listen to such a song and to come to Princes

defence

But I really think it's cool when it is played live!

Just so silly and embaressing that people sing along and like it

even though they have no clue why they like this ***

Man I can enjoy Walk in Sand TEN TIMES better than this shit.

I think Dirty Mind/Controversy era Prince might have made this work somehow but it's not that great.

And with different lyrics mind ya.

anyone remembered the cd of children song mentioned in 1996???

Fun. Silly. New-wave.

Prince having a laugh, throwing us all for a loop.

Reminds me a little of 'Ronnie Talk to Russia.'

Utterly daft, but somehow joyous.

Hmmm. It's almost like this song wishes it was No More Candy 4 U.

It's just horrible. Period.

Everything about it reeks of cheap and nasty ... Got to be one of the worst tracks he's ever put to record and released.

So disappointing.

From the title I was hoping it was going to be goofy and fun like No More Candy 4 U.

Turns out it's just lame.

I find the negative reactions OTT. Its a fun piece of disposable ear candy and captures his early 80s style more authentically than any other track on here or MPLSound IMO.

yes we love you..

we love you and that's what you give us for track no 9 ?

i'm afrain i am gonna like this in the next days..

Believe me when i say if I could like this i would. But I can't. It really is dreadful and I have to say it's inclusion on this album beggars belief. I just cannot put myself through listening to this garbage any more than I already have.

None of the other songs offend my ears. This track is one very good example why Prince needs quality control.

I agree, it's better than the ballads on the CD and it's quite catchy. Though it's still nothing more than a tongue in cheek remake of the Dirty Mind sound, which makes it desperate anyway.

all you guys will be singing ... "Everybody loves me!" and

Exactly!

I admit to listening to this song and having a look on my face the first time I heard it. But the more I listen to it, the more it grows on me. The, "Shake it like you don't know betta...whoopdewhoop" lyric makes me giggle.

I must say, I woke up to Everybody Loves Me in my head. I was even singing along to what I remembered of the song. I'm starting to think, "is it really that bad?" I don't know now. It's been a while since I've not known what to make of a Prince song. I'm all over the place with it. I'll just be in the middle for now.

This song, to me, is very tongue-in-cheek. Maybe Prince wrote it in response to the people who criticize and dislike every new song that he puts out.

Can't wait for the video... Prince dancing with Barney and ginger kids with their teeth in braces

We find this song funny...the piano bit reminds us of the Minder theme

I seriously......love this one!

It is Prince totally testing out a different style, and I do like it. At first listed I was like...what tha?

Then, I listened again....the piano riff made me feel good...

Then, I listened again, and the more I listen the more it reminds me of something that should have been sung in Grease the musical.

I am digging this one, straight up!
