Question about 20ten

Hey people,
I just purchaced 20ten (kinda late) and when I was on track one I skiped back one, and it went 2 track 77 and some extra track was playing? What's the point of that?
Can anyone please help? smile

You never heard of a hidden track before? It's called "Laydown" and it was thrown on as a bonus, unlisted track after a bunch of silent tracks.

and on any other cd, if you are on the first song and skip back one, it will go to the last song as well.

The "secret track" thing was cool in the 90s, in the days before ipods etc. Nowdays it's kind of... silly lol

But "Laydown" is a cool track cool

If you look at the back cover of the slip case, you will see the title listed albeit in different faint font.

It was Prince's way of saying "F you" to all the Lotusflower website subscribers.

As if that website wasn't already enough of an F you.

In that case it should've been called 'Bendover' rather than 'Laydown'.

It wasn't a joke. Why else would he make a song called "Laydown" number 77 on that album?

also, what's up with the number 77 and Prince? He's done this a few times, correct? And in "My Computer" does he not repeat the phrase "a better life" 77 times? Just curious to see if anyone has any theories about this.

Yeah, too bad he didn't do that on 20Ten, though. "Laydown" sucked, terribly.

"Act of God" is awesome.

"Laydown" was fun too.

The rest? Meh.
