Feel U Up

The groove on Feel U Up had me dancing while doing dishes.

Prince would clearly have A LOT more hits if half that sh!t wasn't so intentionally GDMF dirty! biggrin

You couldn't even make clean radio edits of most of the really good songs; P Control would 50% silence or bleeps.

But that's why I love my N---a! biggrin

I'm dying to hear the dirty version of Song of the Heart.

Was the Long Stroke version?

Great track, could've easily been an A-side (and for example on the Batman album) and Partyman the B-side..

Really? I like Partyman, it's a nice and fun track but I prefer Feel U Up by far.

I love the humour involved in this track, only Prince could have come up with this - it makes me smile every time I hear it, and it's got great arrangement.. The sped up voice makes it sound all the more urgent, like a right perv. smile

If I say that it's one of the best dance jams of the 80's by my favourite artist. It's amazing, simply breathtaking. I agree that Feel U Up should've been on Batman. Replace another song from the album, like Arms Of Orion.

The ending of that long stroke is KILLER! "I just wanna i just wanna (feel u up)..." Just a bit distorted and frantic. Soooo funky.

Yes, agreed. That's the better solution. biggrin

Arms of Orion is the track I skip most on Batman (and I find the B-side even worse)

I'm glad it was a b-side - i used to jam the hell outta the cassette single as a youngster. blew me away in many respects, the quality was aprreciated at time, but now when you think about it with all the sub-par stuff he does nowadays, it really stands up as a powerhouse funk classic - on a level with Erotic City even!

i've got to say i prefer the original and as for irresistible bitch to me you have three versions of one song the original the b side and the purple rain live version all of which are fantastic , but yes the original feel u up is something else .
