...interactive (the song). Man, that one really rocks/funks hard. His voice sounds so fucking dirty/great on this one . Can we say, that (musically) this one is a classic, should have been on come or TGE! Aint that a Bitch

What u think?

Love this song:

Interactive,
Days Of Wild,

Acknowledge Me

those should have been included on the Gold Experience..

Musically and thematically, it would've been the perfect start to TGE instead of P. Control.

I love it in all it's versions.

The first time I (and probably a lot of us) heard this song was at the '94 VH1 Honors. That scream he did at the end was one of his best...such a great live performance, so much energy!

its alright

My dad bought a "software bundle" back around '95-'96 that had the contained in it. I know the entire bundle just so I could have that disc.

.

It was not the version that had the audio-CD portion, but it was still nice. I still have it, but like others said it's not playable on any modern computer. I can still access the songs and videos through the root level of the CD though.

I also loved the game... Too bad it doesn't run on new PCs

I never got it to run on my old PC.

Yep CLASSIC!! I love this song and wish he still played it. It definately should have been on either Come or the Gold Experience

The original unedited versions of Interactive followed by Endorphinemachine are 2 of P's last classics.

Thematically, with the NPG Operator intro and interlude, it was the perfect opener to TGE. Then came P Control which is just one of the best opener P ever had. P realized it and made a choice. I never knew what to think about that, because in the end I think P Control was the right choice, I mean it's a mind blower, it just starts the album with such a bang! But TGE lost a lot thematically because it made less sense to keep the NPG Operator segues if the album wasn't going to open with one, and the "if u would like to continue the Interactive xperience please press come" interlude in the middle of a track, that was also something really indispensable to the concept if u ask me.

Well said. Also, P Control gets a lot of hate on the Org. I love it!

I know, this alone shows how many people on this forum don't know what they're talking about when they're discussing music...

Another classic track. Love it!!

Interesting that this thread follows another a few days ago about Cybersingle. To me, Cybersingle was like a sequel to Interactive. Maybe that's why the cheesiness of the Cybersingle lyrics didn't bother me? I don't know. Love both songs though...

People can say what they want about Pussy Control, but, when I was DJing in clubs in the late 90s/early 2000s it was the #1 Prince song to play for the dance floor. It was bigger than Kiss, Erotic City, Gett Off, etc.... Killed it every time. I played it so much that I made my own remix just to have another version to play (the bootlegs of the official remixes that were available back then weren't good enough quality for the big speakers) so I wouldn't get sick of the song. Of course, my remixes are weird and to paraphrase Billy: Nobody digs them but myself. So, that just confused the audience, but, oh well, they responded better to it than they did my In Da Club / Family Name mashup.

So, my point, Pussy Control rules!!

Great in a strip club ala the movie "Showgirls"

I also love P Control, awesome album opener.

"Interactive" is a tight lil' rock jam. The chorus really hooks you.

.

"Pussy Control" is a fun jam, too. The synths are big and bold, fresh beat. Of all of the songs Prince has rapped on, I think this one is my favorite because it better suits his natural cadence and that kinda yin-yang Gemini attitude of his. Plus I always enjoyed this song's message of female empowerment.

Yes!

"Good morning ladies & gentlemen, boys & morhterfucki' girls: this is ur captain with no name speaking & I'm here 2 rock ur world"

These lyrics are wonderful as an opener, I agree - Pussy Control is fantastic imo...
