"Gotta Stop Messin' About"...Do You Like?

I remember this song being the first B-side to any single I've ever heard by Prince. Although I haven't heard it in a while (yes, I know it's on the HITS-B Sides), I still can imagine him in his bikinis, high heels, and guitar strap wailing on that guitar and jumping from the speakers.

I know he's older now, but man, I would love to see some footage of him jamming out to this song.

Never liked it... neutral But here's a grain of salt for you - as much as people love "When You Were Mine" I've never liked it all that much boxed I know it's a great song, I always sing along when he plays it live & all but it's a take it or leave it kinda thing for me. I think I've just heard it too much... smile
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

I really like Gotta Stop I think it really compliments the Dirty Mind album. If Dirty Mind ever gets reissued Gotta Stop should be a bonus track. Love the line 'What goes on inside your head that makes u want 2 take them all 2 bed'

I love this song a lot. It is the B Side to the "Let's Work" 12 inch.

I saw it performed live on a bootleg copy of the "Dirty Mind" tour live from the Ritz in New York.

biggrin I really like the New wave rhythm of it ...and I agree, it should have been reissued on the Dirty Mind CD as a bonus track...

Love it. Almost all his 80's b-sides are fantastic.
