I always loved that song, that and pretty much every song on that album was ripped to shreds though.

A slower song, maybe something like She Loves Me 4 Me or Diamonds and Pearls.

An uptempo, joyous song, perhaps Song Of The Heart.

What really? There is at least 7 songs on that album that I love with serious intensity.

"P Control". I mean, it is about female empowerment.


I prefer "P Control" (Control Tempo Edit). It's short though, so put it on repeat for about 2 hours.

yes, just look it up on here, they hated it, i loved it. I said before that I was finishing my first album, i took the poster out of the cd case and put it up in front of my keyboard for inspiration. Not too many albums that I didn't like.

I think The Most Beautiful Girl in the World is sooooo fitting for a beautiful girl during her sweet 16!!! biggrin Dancing to it will not be hard at all. Play it again. I think Diamonds and Pearls would be lovely as well. Happy Birthday to your daughter!!

Nah...see now I'm going through the song in my mind...

"...in a word, you were sex, all of my cool attitude you took, my body was next..."

hmph!

"...you made love to me like you were afraid. Was you afraid of me? Was I the first? Was I your every fantasy?"

It's positively ghastly in this context!! ill

OMG... this song is even worse and worse when I pair it up with Oedipus (of the Oedipal context) and his mother (Jocasta).... or any incestuous couple

When we be making love
I only hear the sounds
Heavenly angels crying up above
Tears of joy pouring down on us
They know we need each other

That's a Greek chorus or a bunch of angels shrieking "No, no, no" and the singer totally misinterpreting angels cries as joy...

Can I talk to you?
Tell you what you mean to me
Every time you wander
I'll be your eyes so you can see
I want to show you things
That I show no other, I want to be
More than, more than your mother
More than your brother

Irony here, LMAO, if the singer is talking to his parent.


I know, that you know, without you there is no me

Uh....

eyepop ill feeling ill barf

Dude....just don't. Unless you're WAY into Jamie & Cersei in GoT.

Hi fam -

So my daughter's Sweet 16 is coming up, and I'm considering using "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" for the Father-Daughter dance.

that was the first one I thought of. Good choice.

hmmm

Disagree. this song is about marriage and settling down.

Beaten, b ut yeah. How about "Wherever U Go, Whatever U do?"

Wherever u go, whatever u do
Oh, please, remember that I'll always be there for you
You don't have to call, you don't have to say
Just think about me and I'll be on my way

I don't have to worry, I'm sure you'll be fine
'Cuz if you stay happy, then what's your's is mine
Wherever u go, whatever u do
Remember that I'll always be there for you
Oh, baby

Wherever you are, think of your dreams
Oh, please, remember life ain't always what it seems
For each rainy day that comes your way
The sun will come shining and you'll be okay

Keep on smiling, every girl and boy
Remember when you were children you had toys
Wherever you are, think of your dreams
Remember that dreams become the life you lead

Whatever you play, it's okay to lose
Ooh, sometimes, long as you learn from every game you choose
If one thing is sure, you'll always endure
If you try your best at everything you do

Say what you mean and mean what you say
The price for a broken heart's to much to pay
And nothing is worth it, if you don't have to try
The higher the stakes, the higher the sky

Wherever u go, whatever u do
Please remember, remember that I'll always be there for you

ONe more vote for Wherever You Go. It's perfect in the context of a father/daughter dance. THe rest are in the context of a man who wants to romance a woman, which isn't what you want to go for here as a father. biggrin

Wherever u go is good, but may be too fast for a slow dance.
Going back to the beginning, With You is a pretty little tune.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Usually my answer for everything is Wonderful Ass, but maybe not this time. Wherever you go or The Most Beautiful Girl in the World are probably more suitable.

The Most Beautiful Girl In The World is the right choice, seriously!

It would be perfect for a father-daughter slow dance/waltz on the dance floor and the song sentiment is entirely fitting for the occassion. Then play Diamonds And Pearls....

...then Head

Looped into to my head this weekend. Religious tones. But I think it's pretty.

"The Love We Make"

Desperate is the day that is 2morrow
4 those who do not know the time has come
2 whip the dogs that beg, steal or borrow
From the table God set 4 His Son

Wicked is the witch that stands 4 nothing
All the while watching 2 see U fall
Deeper than the ditch that bred your suffering
The one being dug right now by them all

Happy is the way 2 meet your burdens
No matter how heavy or dark the day
Pity on those with no hope 4 2morrow
It's never as bad as it seems until we say

Precious is the baby with a mother
That tells him that his Saviour is coming soon
All that believe will cleanse and purify themselves
Put down the needle, put down the spoon [x2]

Sacred is the prayer that asks 4 nothing, oh
While seeking 2 give thanks 4 every breath we take, oh
Blessed are we inside this prayer
4 in the new world, we will be there

The only love there is, is the love we make [x2]
(The only love there is, is the love we make)
Only love there is, only love there is
The only love there is, is the love we make (Yeah)
The only love there is, is the love we make

"Be My Mirror" is what I'm dancing to with my daughter whenever she gets married. I'm even going to have her sing the last few lines of the song, recorded over Prince's falsetto.

Maybe that would be a good one for y'all?

To me...the tempo feels a bit off for a slow dance.
