It really is, its a very funky song, which morphs from purple hip hop to techno to almost a rock flavor. The structure of the song is very strong also, its just an high energy, low bass booty shaking funk!

It's Prince being weird again. About time! Even if the song isn't a slam dunk, it's way better than the generic funk fillers of recent albums or toss off garbage like Rich Friends.

It's ace... First time my wife actually walked in to my studio room and said "is this Prince?" "This is GOOD"

It reminds me of Cream maxi single days... Love the guitar.

Love that (somewhat) glam rock riff that kicks it all off... Prince doing glam rock... interesting

Agreed. I love Prince when he's like this.

Weird? That's funny. He seems 'normal' to me (like this). But then people call me quirky.

Cream Maxi Single? That to me was the first one that I loathed. And since then only a few alternate versions have been decent in my opinion...It's like after the great Gett Off 12 inch, most of them were horrible. "7" had a great acoustic version...and there's a few others here and there in the following years...but Cream was the death blow for great Prince 12 inch releases in my opinion...

I'm glad it transitions into that frenetic jam beginning at 2:36. I don't think that middle verse-chorus part would have sustained as an entire song with it's stripped-down sound. Maybe this was intentional to keep it interesting. Maybe I'm a genius. But probably not.
