^Alright, we don't have to agree on everything! ;-)To me, Gett Off and Sexy MF always felt like Prince was trying very hard to be Prince. In other words, play a role, sing about sex because that's his image, that's what people expect. I really like the live band sound of Sexy MF though. [Edited 7/12/13 7:19am]

Yeah, sort of--he did seem to be playing out his public image. But what's weird is he hadn't really done songs like those before that--and certainly not as the singles during his pop success years. "Gett Off" certainly surprised me the first time I heard it on the radio. Although really "Sexy MF" isn't really all that much about sex--certainly not in the same way as "Gett Off," anyway--it just uses that word over and over again. And they didn't fit all that well on their albums, either.

I assume we're restricted to Prince/prince releases here?

and that's why I should read everything before I post.

Money Don't Matter 2Night

Don't Play Me

7

When the Lights Go Down

I Hate U

Come On (was this 90s or 00s?)

The Ride

Space

Those are the songs that popped into my mind when I saw this thread title... I think they're all classics. Since we're just picking one song for the poll...

Money Don't Matter 2Night.... (Space or When The Lights Go Down would be 2nd for me, I think)

I love Prince's music, but I don't always love his lyrics -- in this case, I feel like both the music and lyrics are great and quite moving. There's really a resonance to MDMT, and it's stuck with me and lingered in my memory (hearing little bits and pieces, thinking of lyrics, etc.) more than almost any other song.

My favorite 90s song is I Hate U. I think it almost made its way to the top 10 (it reached #12) and could have been a big hit if Prince and WB had collaborated a bit. The video should´ve been shown on MTV regularly.

I prefer the remix though. The original is good, but I prefer the remix version.

He only played snippets of this song during the 1995 tour. I understand that he didn´t want to play his classic Prince hits but playing this very hot new song only briefly was in my opinion a big mistake. It was mostly part of the 319/BillyJackBitch/I Hate U medley.

" 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?"

Beautiful Strange, that thing is just amazing, his last truly experimental and quirky 80s style song.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

Love 2 the 9s, the prettiest little tune suddenly morphs into squigglehop before resolving itself with one of Prince's best vocal performances. Fine, fine tune. I love it 2 the 9s.
don't play me...i'm over 30 and i DO smoke weed....
