I've always loved the song Cybersingle. I can't begin to explain why. Lit just sounds more energetic than the other material from that time. P's vocals are passionate. The song is kind of awesome for a Dark Ages Prince song. Are there any good quality versions of it?

I really love it, it was fresh, energetic, daring, and the topic was still new at the time. It should have been on TCI or TS

Haha. I know. This is like a confessional.

aw... thats a cute little girl, funny face too.

I love Cybesingle.
Cheesey lyrics? Sure. So?
The cheese is melty all over this short, sweet, rocking track.
Like KingSausage says, the Superman line helps the lyrics...

the lyrics are quite forgettable! the instrumentation is great though! i really dig the guitar playing! i dont think its a bad song! its better then anything on rave!

i actually really like it too

I always liked it but then again I've never been bothered by Prince's lyrics.

Honestly, it was a commercial for the NPGMC so that's how I interpret the song.

.

Prince was one of THE pioneers of Internet-distributed music -- he was getting a lot of notoriety for it (along with Bowie) but then after a few years basically abandoned it. Maybe he didn't want that to be his legacy, and fast-forward a decade from NPGMC where he declared the Internet was "dead".

.

All that aside, one of my favorite lines in Cybersingle is "I can't leave the keys in my brand-new car 'cause you don't know it's wrong to steal". Imagine a world where we could leave our cars running, or our houses unlocked, etc. without worrying. What makes a car "more" stealable because the keys are in it? It should be off limits, period . . .

I love the song as well.
