I hate when ppl don't expand on their opinion. What's wrong with it? Explain.

Gnammmete all,

It's VAMPY from Italy, i just wanna know if 4 this song we can pay something...

Thanx in adavantage

VAMPY

With Prince's recent political jams, I was all ready for this one, but I kinna feel let down. To me it's a good idea that went wrong with overproduction, gloss and a 'lil too much cheese "Everybody stop fighting...everybody make love" In my opinion this ones not too far from a New Power Soul outtake.

I went on NPGMC and i don't see it!

Hot Garbage.
It's worth 77 Cents.

ELBOOGY said:

It just popped up on my computer. Thanx!

wow, i must be a real minority. I really like this song, I actually like it better than a lot of musicology.

mudbuttalbino said:

hot trash

i love you so

I just checked on the download area of the website and am not finding this song. Can anyone here help me?

Thanks

if it's not on the "mixing board" of selections, then click "more music" and it will be on the other mixing board.

I checked both of areas of downloads. Did you recieve a special link by e-mail to get to the song?

toddstephfrost said:

I couldn't find it either. Just click the "download" link on the intro to the new song at www.npgmusicclub.com (you know, the little video thing before you can actually go to the web site).

Just got an e-mail about it and the NPG Store has some new goodies.... So check that out

I like it.

Starts out, I thought "Oh well, here we go, another sound-a-long toss off, same sound he's had since Emancipation" - But it has some nice elements.

I like the "doo-doo-do-doo-do-doo's" in the chorus.

Not mad about the horns.

You need to click on the Musicology downloads

VAMPY said:

If I understand your question correctly: Yes, you have to pay for it 0,99/0.77 for non members/member.

About the song, my first impression is mwah....ok...I was more hopeful when I heard a fragment on the intro of NPGMC....Maybe it will grow...

It might grow on me I can see why it's a B-side to Paprika Bitch... I mean, Cinnamon Girl

Why do I keep singing Janet Jackson's 'Nasty' throughout the song?

I'm actually quite impressed with this. To me it sounds very much like the type of B-Sides we heard in the mid-late eighties.

But as for "Everybody stop fighting...everybody make love". Tack-A-Rama!

I like the music, okay. It definitely isn't up there in the upper half of Prince's work, though. The lyrics are great! When he talks about driving through his old neighboorhood and everything being the same, except he could change the hurt and pain, he leaves us hanging. Is he going to use some of his Musicology4ever loot to help out the boyz in the hood?

Happy 4th, Canada Day, Birthday... whatever ur celebrating!

Peace & Luv,

Clubbin' in Mpls./Night with Prince

ouch.

ah well...at least we still got "partyup" and stuff like that, i suppose. i haven't heard the song yet--probably never will.

Got quite a heavy beat to it, thought maybe we were gonna here a rock song, but it doesn't quite go there - sounded very much like 'Judas Smile' in the middle I thought. Felt it needed a kick-ass guitar solo somewhere, but then I usually think that of most Prince tracks. At the end is a longish musical outro with that sampled horns sound he uses a lot recently. With such a great horn section I don't know why he doesn't let them do something live-sounding instead of cut up and edited.

Overall, okay, but I hate that 'do-do-do' bit, you expect some catchy words of wisdom at that point when he says, sing! and all you get is 'do-do-do', followed by the kinda lame 'Everybody stop fighting, everybody make love' I mean, it doesn't even rhyme!

But I'm sure everybody will in fact stop fighting and make love because Prince has said that.

do do do do doo do
do do do do doo do
do do doo do dooo

He's a lyrical genius you know.

fauxnewbie said:

yes i am

NouveauDance said:

I like this too, it's catchy

I love the booming drum, specially the drum break with "black/white, straight/gay, christian/muslim"

let's remind ourselves now, this is an on-line B-side

as b-sides go, this works for me.

and as someone else mentioned, I actually prefer this (on my 3rd listen) to some of what's on Musicology...

hey, it was .77, I am TOTALLY satisfied



....edit....

when i hear the word "b-side", i think of vinyl. "digital b-side" just sounds so...so...pootsy.

Hey, I'm diggin this track-- it gets better the more times I play it.

Anybody-- is he saying:

"We let Superfly straighten up our curly hair
He took the afro off the game"

or is it "out the game"? Or something else...?
