I used to think this song was kind of silly, and I would always skip it. but lately I've come to really love the shit out of it. it might even be the best song on the album. what do you guys think?

I love that song!

hmm, i never liked this song and still dont do! I never understood the love for this song! What so great about it? Is it the lyric, the music..i dont know! As some papers say, it should have been a single in 1992 and many saw it as a hit-song back in the day...

i cant really explain it in any way other than just the vibe is just perfect for what it is

I do love it. Especially the first half. Can do without Carmen's telephone rap, especially considering how long it seems to go on.

Made a super-awesome edit one time that retains the transition into the smoother, jazzier portion at the end for about 30-45 seconds but cuts out all the chit-chat.

the production, at least on the first half, is very similar to "319." I think the guitar and horn sounds, whether either of them are real guitars or horns or not, is a good combo for this type of grinding dance jam.

i think i have to agree, i dont really mind the carmen rap but i do usually hit next after she pops in

I know this is an 'appreciation' thread, but.....

I don't like it. Worst on the album, and one of his worst ever.

how can it be worse than my name is prince

Loved this song from the first listen.

I like the song alright, but I love the album. As part of the whole, it fits in perfectly.

The song is actually good-it took me some years to appreciate it though.

It took me a little time as well to get into it, but now I can get into on a good day.

Like i said, i really didnt get this song, but for some reason a few weeks ago it just clicked and i cant get enough of it

If the second half of the song had a full version

Is that a joke?

If not, "Tell Me How U Wanna B Done" on Crystal Ball.

Good song, good video.

Yesss

3 quarters in a glass

i see u smile & ask

if i flip em on my stomach

will u marry my ass?

that is one of my fave prince lyrics ever!

Yummy!

Silly that it wasn't a single, especially since it was initially planned to.

Great song, my second favorite on the album, 7 being the best.

Singles should have been.

anything would have been better than the ones he chose, what the hell was he thinking? was he trying to make it commercially unsuccesful?
